The main objective of the paper is to investigate the influence of intensification of global relations in all fields on cultural aspects of communication and interaction of people. In order to verify the validity of the research goal, we utilized carried out general theoretical methods. Concerning the knowledge of the social and cultural communicative code, positive dynamics of the development of cross-cultural communication has been found. Summing up the results, it can be concluded that cross-cultural interplay generates a new social reality within the existing cultural context.
