First sentence: Attempts to unify Western Europe and the collapse of communism in Eastern and Central Europe have given rise to a number of phenomena such as the resurgence of strong nationalist feelings, the creation of new social categories with which European peoples are asked to identify, the restructuring of value systems and the need for both individuals and groups to adapt to different cultures.
