The problem of global world raises new questions in the field of socio-humanitarian research. The activity and scale of intercultural communication in the modern world leads to the formation of various concepts in the field of theory and practice of ethnic groups and interethnic relations, each of which has different ways to resolve the conflict of the national majority and minority. The article is devoted to the problem of multiculturalism as a social phenomenon of the new global world, which is based on the idea of the value of national identity and the principle that being special is good. Along with this, an overview of the melting pot concept aimed at the gradual elimination of cultural national differences is given. The considered concepts are studied through the plane of the evolutionary formation of the human thinking system, the historical nature of the formation of ethnic characteristics, including in the dialectic of the “friend - foe” relationship, formed during the relations of individual and group natural selection. The article also reveals the role of ethno-cultural features of behavior and thinking as a demarcation of “normality”, which has a supra-conscious nature and has the main source of rejection of behavioral cultural differences: one behavioral ethno-cultural normality overlapping with another generates conflict and rejection. It is emphasized that in multiculturalism this problem is solved through the idea of the value not of the usual, but of the special.References
