Scientific Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Cultural Studies - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: Cultural identification sets in motion cycles of competitive identifications, self-perpetuating dualistic endless loops, which depending on their intensity, may escalate into major conflict unless the waves or the cultural identification and affirmation can subside. Once the cycles of waves are set in motion they assume a dynamic of their own beyond human control. That is how conflicts surge cyclically, which get out of hands once cycles have been set in motion through the over affirmation of one or more cultural players. They can set in motion the entire see of life. Ironically, the search for stability on the ocean of life, which has a natural dynamic of its own, leads to the very opposite, to major turbulences.
