Abstract

The values of cultures are so different that it is difficult to find the basis for the formation of a monoculture in the context of globalization. The study of the phenomenon of death will bring closer to solving the problem of finding common universal values, which will become the basis for the formed monoculture. The European attitude towards death is focused on the reconciliation of man with death, the consolation of the dying, and his relatives. Death is seen as the ending of earthly life. Death in Russian culture is conceived and perceived by salvation and faith in God; seen as an element of mentality and as an integral part of the spirituality of man and society. In contrast, American (Western) culture criticizes the afterlife. Death is seen as the total destruction of man’s personality, as a defeat and a constant reminder to humanity of the limitations of power over nature. Globalization processes require a review of existing values and the creation of a new type of culture with a sustainable and unified system of values at the global level.
