School's potential to improve crosscultural relations, as well as interpersonal relations in general, is enormous. However, both teachers and pupils do not often take full advantage of this opportunity. Our research findings suggest that cultural differences per se very seldom represent a major problem in pupils' relationships.Difficulties seem to originate at a deeper level and be related to those emotions (e.g. anxiety, anger, envy, resentment, etc.) that often negatively affect human interactions and to the frequent tendency to exercise some kind of power over others, given the competitive lifestyles which prevail in our societies.
