Abstract:
Along with ensuring equal opportunities, which represents an objective necessity of our day for the
convergence to the knowledge society and at the same time a confirmation of the awareness of the egalitarian
status of all coexisting individuals, "the intercultural dialogue represents a premise of the development of social
cohesion and also allows the connection of different systems. cultural values that sometimes seem to be so
different but still able to share so many creative and innovative ideas. Intercultural dialogue offers the
opportunity to share national traditions, customs and specifications and to learn from different cultural
traditions. It also facilitates collaborative relations at all levels between states and represents a link in the
process of community, regional, economic and political integration. The transmission of cultural values is a
complex process that is characterized by the intertwining and dynamics of social relations, both vertical,
horizontal and oblique. In the specialty literature, cultural transmission is defined as: “the transmission of
preferences, values and norms of behavior through social interaction”. This transmission involves a process of
socialization and imitation of the reference models through which the specific behavioral traits are transferred
from one generation to another through the “mechanism” of the intergenerational chain and also disseminated
among coexisting individuals of the same generation. Although this concept of cultural transmission has a long
tradition in the field of anthropology, social psychology and sociology, the specialists have been concerned with
the study of endogenous training and the transmission of preferences especially in the last two decades. As a
result, a new area of particular importance has emerged in terms of transmitting preferences through
socialization and by imitating behavioral patterns, namely that of attitude towards education. According to
recent research by specialists, it was concluded that parents have a strong influence in defining and
substantiating the attitudes related to the education of young people. This aspect presents, in my opinion, an
indication worth considering in order to anticipate, design and develop appropriate educational policies for the
knowledge society, as it corroborated with the present reality of an increasingly accentuated globalization that
presents both social and economic benefits. obvious, as well as potential threats, gives us an overview of the
level of education and training of future generations and implicitly of the level of economic and social
development depending on the efforts made by the contemporary generation in the sense of investments made in
education. We will continue to present the OECD recommendations on the instruments of educational policies
whose practical application, I think would bring real benefits on a social scale.
