In what ways is culture part of our history and to what extent does culture play a role in shaping our values, our customs and our identity?

There is a saying that claims culture is the glue that keeps us together, but to what extend do we share cultural values. Are we moving from a monocultural world to a multicultural world? Or the other way round?

Keynote speakers dealing with the history of culture typically present a wide arrange of different angles, indeed each speaker will most probably have their own angle. How, for instance, do we all interpret our own history of culture individually?

The history of culture is quite the heavy subject, but if presented with the right combination of knowledge, a sense of humour and a strong sense of communication it is indeed a topic that would most probably interest most people.
