  • Cultural anthropology (Languages ​​of the Cultural Committee, which is based largely on the Greek-Roman and Christian heritage, thereby is mainly due to the use of the Latin alphabet, the Western Roman version of Christianity, including its development in the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, the separation of state and church, the legal system, the common history of the arts and education, such as the University - this definition is about Samuel Huntington ( 1996: 45ff. ) and Helmut Schmidt ( 2000: 207ff. ) as a basis )
