Abstract
The second part of the article begins the analysis of Janet Stevenson's cultural studies, which she conducts in the context of building a theoretical basis for the practice of sustainable development. Janet Stephenson identifies 9 blocks of meanings for the concept of "culture". She devotes a separate section to each block in the chapter “Cultural Divergence”. Based on sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, culture is defined as "education", as a "product", as "meaning", as a "structure". After a conceptual analysis, Janet Stephenson asks specific questions, the answers to which should lead to a sustainable development model of contemporary cultural communities. Professor Stephenson understands the sustainable development of modern cultural communities as cultural transformations leading to an improvement in living conditions, but not destroying the foundations for the existence of these communities. She believes that building the concept of sustainable development can be done on the basis of a synthesis of Western and traditionally rooted ideas about culture, and proposes to extrapolate the values of culture obtained in Western science to the rooted ideas of traditional societies that do not always have a scientific form.
