Cultural diversity is, as biodiversity, an element of the common heritage of humanity, whose defense is an ethical imperative inseparable from respect for the dignity of the human person. The concept of cultural diversity permits the existence of a variety of different cultures that are not, by far, isolated, but interact and intersect at all times. The UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expression of 2005 stated that cultural diversity is a defining feature of humanity and is aware of the fact that cultural diversity is a common heritage of humanity, being necessary for humanity just as biodiversity is necessary for nature . Everyone has the right to participate in cultural life, to have access to culture, has the right to respect for cultural identity and to identify with a cultural community, has the right to cultural, religious and linguistic diversity, the right to freely run cultural activities, etc. In this study the author will attempt to analyze and define the concept of "cultural diversity" as well as its basic culture component.
