The rapid transformation of society, ongoing changes and greater dynamism and engagement with other cultures and the need for socio-cultural competence make it necessary to be aware of aspects of social change. An improvement in the behaviour of individuals, groups and organizations as well as possible solutions requires a detailed analysis in theory and practice.As a country of diverse cultures, Austria is experiencing changes in the social strata. The opportunities to understand, respect and appreciate each other in conversation need to be learned. Despite the differences in the understanding of knowledge, free discourse and all language problems, it remains a shared responsibility to identify points of contact and to make efforts in social relationships or in cultural matters. The equality of people, identity in its change, questioning one’s own points of view and engaging with new things must be taken into account. The study is divided into the concepts of 'aspects of a socio-cultural theory discussion', dismantling democracy, minorities and youth violence.
