 Organizations and cultures whose values are weak uncertainty avoidance, femininity, and low power distance strive for maximizing the benefits of diversity – like in the case of Scandinavian countries for example (Hofstede, 2001). The knowledge of cultural differences may help the workers operating in multicultural environment to reduce the possible misunderstandings and it enables them to foresee the possible reactions of their partners (Konečná, 2006). Work in multicultural teams requires flexibility, adaptation, understanding and respect for different cultures and values, tolerance, open-mindedness, friendly communication and good non-verbal communication skills.
 The scientific journals like Problems of Psychology in the 21st Century are the result of the efforts and the co-operative work of the authors, the editors, the reviewers and the readers in multicultural environment. Its aim is to promote scientific knowledge that could improve mutual understanding and coping strategies in everyday life situations.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Editorial</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4-5</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yulia F.

Now in the twenty first century they still have not lost their relevance. When reading this quote, a whole range of ambiguous emotions evokes. On the one hand, the feelings of embarrassment, shame, rejection, confusion and helplessness emerge. On the other hand, there is a desire to change, transform or develop something, a sense of responsibility for the quality of your own life and the lives of people around you. People really penetrate into the depths of the Universe and have great success in this sense, and yet they can’t learn the laws of human relations with each other. What does it mean &quot;learn to live on the earth as human beings?&quot; This is a difficult question and everyone can give a different reply. In my opinion, &quot;to live on the earth as human beings&quot; means, above all, recognizing the interdependence of people, limited and temporary nature of individual life, but at the same time freedom and responsibility of each person. This awareness enables us to empathize with others, to show compassion, trust and generosity, respect and loyalty, tolerance and appreciation. </style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Editorial</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4-5</style></section></record></records></xml>
