The worry about the absorption of core principles of one’s culture within European Community and the superiority of high culture (a subculture presented by the élite in the society within the European Community) towards popular culture or low culture (a subculture presented by the majority of the community within the European Community) have created numerous obstacles for the construction of the concept of Europe as a cultural identity, which is the thrust of the study in this paper. Cultural identity is very essential for European Community, as it persuades its people to have a sense of self and how to interact with each other.
