Terrorism is not what could be called a new phenomenon in the world. The end of the Cold War and globalisation, however, "have let the genie out of the bottle". In this article the author analyses issues pertaining to the definition of terrorism, tendencies of the terrorist threat (particularly, causes of the growing fatality of terrorism), the impact of globalisation on the phenomenon of terrorism and opportunities and dangers behind the fight against terrorism in the globalisation age. The article claims that during the age of globalisation terrorism becomes popular not only as a means for an asymmetric fight against the stronger opponent of the world's "evil" states; the fight against terrorism is more and more often used as a supplementary instrument in the external and internal policies of Western world democracies. Devoid of an agreement on what terrorism is, states, facing the pressure of foreign and internal interests and/or external pressure, have become used to exaggerating the appeal of the terrorist threat, which, in turn, creates a counterproductive effect and increases security stakes.

Globalisation is a various and complex process that is displayed by the intensive relations among the countries and the movement of labour, services, goods and other capital that was forced by the scientific and technologic progress at the end of 20th centuary. Progressive globalisation has risen new goals for the labour law that has to adjust to the present changes. The thesis states that the main part has to be given to the social dialogue which is the main and most important means for decreasing negative consequences of globalisation. On the other hand, the use has to be made of the positive opportunities of globalisation. The main goal is stimulation and development of social dialogue in all the stages. Priority should be given to the regulation of the collective labour. The decrease of the present trade unions is a big problem. It is imposible effectively and properly participate at the collective negotiations and reach the social and economic solutions of a problem when social partners are missing. A very possitive mean is European social patners participation at legislation, but this phenomenon is not fully used when there are no concrete fundamentals of law for European associations to initiate and carry out negotiation. Having analised all the resources the conclusion is that globalisation affects labour in all the levels – international, regional (European Union) and national levels. At the international level the main place is given to the Internation labour organisasion that creates and renews international labour standards according to the globalisational challenge. Regional (European Union) level is the Lisboa strategy and European social model that can resist globalisational challenge. This level is based on social dialogue and social responsibility of an enterprise. At the national level separate countries feeling a big presure from multinational corporations has to adapt to the changes of the market in order to ensure the safety and flexibility of labour market.

The scientific cluster 'Research in Multilingualism and Language Development in a Context of Globalisation' is an interdisciplinary group of linguists, psycholinguists, sociolinguists, and political scientists who share an interest in language and culture studies. Our research focuses on language and culture sciences from a diverse set of perspectives. These include: first language acquisition; typical and atypical language development; developmental psycholinguistics; language and culture studies; language politics. Using sophisticated (psycho-) linguistic and social sciences' methods such as longitudinal observation, experimental studies, corpus linguistics, etc., members of the Cluster seek to learn about the language acquisition, development and change in the multicultural and multilingual settings. Cross-cultural and cross-linguistic studies also should be noted. Our many national and international collaborations with higher educational institutions, schools, trade communities and organizations provide opportunities for our members and students to gain valuable research experience and to share it among researchers and practitioners.

Relevance of the survey. Interculturality and intercultural education from the approach of changes in the conception of nationality has become an important part within the context of the process of globalisation. In order to understand contemporary social processes and cultural differences, it is necessary to analyse meanings, attributed to the phenomenon of the globalisation. It is one of the most common objects of political, economic and cultural research as well as terms of the contemporary politics and science. Analysis of the change of cultures and expression of differences covers the study of scientific literature on themes of the global transformation, industry of cultures, cultural globalisation, inequality, sociology as well as anti-globalisation. It is important that the globalisation often functions as the synonym for this phenomenon: strive for the liberal policy in the world economics, the growing domination of life forms of the Western politics, economics as well as the culture; spread of new technologies, unified society, where the most important causes of the main social conflicts are eliminated (Scheuerman, 2010). Analysis of Lithuanian and foreign scientific literature revealed explanations of the concept of culture as well as attitudes, allowing stating that today different conception of the culture exists, when the order destruction becomes the norm, ensuring transformations. The culture is linked with the idea of the constant place, giving the meaning for life via aims, the totality of generalised factors, rules of behaviour, heritage, communication, social practices and ethos. The revealed reasons of the cultural change within the context of globalising world supposes the conclusion, that the culture, under circumstances of globalisation, refuses own structures and overtakes other, based on links, homogenisation, reduction of the range dimension, constant process and cultural changes.

The research is about getting lost in a global world, about challenging your identity, and feeling uncomfortable discovering an identity in a culture other than your own. I was wondering why I want to go to Egypt, why I am idealizing it. Exploring, delving into yourself and trying to understand why something is interesting can reveal many subconscious things. It searching for the rational in the irrational. As you begin to delve deeper, many questions arise. I am inspired by that culture. This is reflected in my work. But should artist be politically correct? Is the use of other culture's traits cultural appropriation, when you try to convey what you want to say, what you feel? In a globalised world there are more and more people with no place. But the world is big and has room for everyone. One can only speculate on how our society will deal with that globalisation in the future. Will new communities form or will people become so different that individualism will flourish…

The researchers have different visions about how they should respond to the multiculturalism's challenges. Often the response to the issue devides experts into two major groups: to the conservative and to the emancipatory group. The way the first group chose as an answer to the issue leads to inequality, it seeks the possibility to avoid foreigners or isolate, or assimilate them. The second group promotes the way that leads to equality in society and it can be divided into two alternative modes: 1. The State is neutral as far as possible with the emphasis on complete equality; 2. The State is active and looks for protection of differences, and thus is trying to ensure the real equality. Both groups emphasize the responsibility of the majority and the government, but it is also necessary to consider the responsibility of the minority for successful functioning of multicultural society. An enhanced role for minorities in the multicultural society depends on their own disposition to be flexible and open to interaction, to become more active and more important to the entire society. The article analyses the works of leading experts related on multiculturalism issues, the works of J. M. André, J. Rawls, M. Nussbaun, H. Tajfel, M. Walzer, S. Moscovici, M. Castells, C. Taylor, W. Kimlickos and others.
