Europe is facing challenges to its common identity, which is threatened by both the great cultural diversity among European nations and the large influx of immigrants from other parts of the world. Faced with crises that call into question the real possibility of a common European identity, the European Union must strive toward underlining common European values and the importance of history. While the diversity of values in Europe is also reflected within the EU, it is crucial to try establishing harmony regarding strengthening a common culture as well as respecting diversity.
