This video discusses the conflict between cultural practices and human rights. It points out that, as cultures around the world are increasingly globalization, the topic of diversity has become an important international agenda. However, there is still no clear consensus on what rights should be considered cultural rights, and on how best to put this into practice. There is also a debate over whether promoting and protecting cultural rights should be in line with the idea of human rights itself, as the concept of culture is vague and has a very broad definition that includes aspects like language, religion, traditions, geographic location at educational levels, etc.

• 00:00:00 This video discusses the conflict between cultural practices and human rights. It points out that, as cultures around the world are increasingly globalization, the topic of diversity has become an important international agenda, while the rapid development of communication and transportation has made possible the existence of multicultural societies and even a sense of universal culture. However, there is still no clear consensus on what rights should be considered cultural rights, and on how best to put this into practice. There is also a debate over whether promoting and protecting cultural rights should be in line with the idea of human rights itself, as the concept of culture is vague and has a very broad definition that includes aspects like language, religion, traditions, geographic location at educational levels, etc. Neither of these positions implies that one category of human rights is more important than another. Practice, however, shows that all categories of human rights have not developed at the same pace, and cultural rights have received less attention than civil, political, economic, and social rights. One of the reasons for this is the ambiguity of the term "cultural." There are two ways of understanding the relationship between cultural diversity and human rights: the universalist approach, which believes that all human beings have certain rights by virtue of being human, and the relativist approach, which

There is no ideal culture, but we can appreciate specific cultures with successes and failures with values and values against each other. It is therefore essential to find spaces for debating ideas, to use dialogue, and to try to march forward using that great concept of tolerance. These transformations must really project a collective change with a noticeable meaning for everyone within the body of practices and norms that possess the equality and respect of different community members, including the acceptance of basic human rights and sensitive issues for everyone. We cannot continue thinking in terms of dichotomies and thus thousand before, but at the same time we should be homogenizing for the maintenance of a social reality that includes cultures that do not submit to the dynamics and social practices today. We need to promote tolerance for the inclusion and respect of differences so that we can accommodate ourselves, but we should not assimilate where everyone can participate to reach democracy. These are necessary transformations that really project a conscious change with a collective significance within the body of practices
