Resumen
The article departs from Human Rights which, defined as equal rights and equal opportunities, do correspond with cultural diversity, ensuring all kinds of minorities or subcultures not to become disadvantaged.
The author rejects all kinds of culturalism (as if groups or even nations are culturally homogenous or determine human action totally), but rather operationalize cultural diversity as a setting in which people act according to different rules- despite all commonalities. Education is insofar the growing of transcultural personalities who are able to cope with any situation in which different rules interfere. In order to exclude discrimination or disadvantages it is crucial, too, that � particularly in competitive settings, only those cultural items are under consideration which are important to fulfil a task.
