Aspects of European Cultural Diversity

by Monica Shelley (Editor), Margaret Winck (Editor)

Overview

The word 'Europe' is seen and heard constantly, in newspapers, on television and children are taught about it in school. But what does it really mean to us? Does it have the same meaning for everyone? How does it affect our everyday lives? Do we consider ourselves to be Europeans and what does that mean in practice?
This book concentrates on aspects of European cultural diversity. The four essays included deal with language, education, the mass media and everyday culture. The issues under discussion are those that strongly influence the way in which we define our common, everyday identity. They are also issues which determine our access to opportunities of different kinds.
The book is designed to enable readers to identify those factors which make them and their own environment unique and to place themselves within the context of everyday Europe.
