    I would like to highlight that this does not mean a monoculture.

Agreed. Monoculture can be just as bad as no culture at all. What is needed is a good "education" system that ensures that diverse views can be held, but also ensures that all people are aligned in the common goal of some greater structure. Religion->democracy/capitalism->humanitarianism seems to be the current pattern of goals, or how the west has progressed/is progressing through them.
