Abstract
Culture is the essence of personal and national identity. What people read and watch, and the kind of culture, literature, and norms, they are exposed to, through the home, education, religion, television and the internet - provide them with basic values, beliefs and attitudes, which affect and motivate them throughout their lives. The stories people hear, read and watch, as children and as adults, become an integral part of the core of their identity and personalities. The Nobel Prize Laureate, Elie Wiesel, explained: "We are the stories we hear and the stories we tell." Even religions, which are an integral part of culture, are mainly built on stories and parables. It is of crucial importance therefore, that those stories we are exposed to, at the socio-cultural, religious, and educational levels, which we are told, read, and watch on television and in films, should be inspiring, harmonious, peaceful and constructive ones, that open our eyes to the world, and that build and do not destroy. We are today in the midst of a relentless “War of Cultures”, that is causing ravaging violence and destructive wars in the Middle East and in other parts of the world. These “Wars of Culture” cannot be resolved by guns, bombs and tanks, they can only be resolved by cultural means, by bridges of understanding, knowledge, tolerance and respect for “the other’s culture”, and “the other’s religion.” That is, the promotion of “Global Multiculturalism” is at the root of the urgently needed global change from a dangerous Culture of Violence and War, to a harmonious Culture of Peace. To overcome cultural barriers and mistrust of other civilizations and cultures, all governments, educational institutions, and the global media, should inter-connect to promote a harmonious “Global Multiculturalism,” which would include, among others, principles of the equality of women and men. The best way to accomplish this tremendous task, is by the creation of a network of the “Global TV by Satellite for Peace Culture,” (GSPC), proposed by IFLAC, which can effectively promote "Global Multiculturalism" all over the world and help build an innovative, peaceful global village, beyond war, terror and violence. A Model of the suggested “Global TV by Satellite for Peace Culture”(GSPC), is described. Turkey is the ideal place for the establishment of such a major global project, as it is a natural cultural bridge between East and West.
