This chapter describes the similarities and differences between management and military science. The description is focused on the notion that is strategic for management, namely – the organization culture. Military science shares many common elements with management science. It is the organization culture that may decide about both the performance of an organization and the result of a military conflict.

Misje Sił Zbrojnych Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej (SZ RP) w Iraku czy Afganistanie przyciągają uwagę opinii publicznej i wywołują liczne kontrowersje. Krytyka z jednej strony może powodować nieprzemyślane działania polityczne, a z drugiej przyczyniać się do większego finansowania misji. O ile krwawe konflikty zbrojne, obfitujące w bitwy i potyczki, interesują media, a co za tym idzie, wpływają na opinię publiczną, to wojsko uczestniczy także w mniej spektakularnych czy „dynamicznych” misjach, również stanowiących ważny przejaw aktywności zbrojnej państwa.

This paper attempts to evaluate the factors of cultural assimilation of the youngest generation of the Arabs, who were born and live in the 'old continent' or came to Europe when they were children and do not know the realities of the Arab world, they were not socialized in it or their socialization has just entered into the secondary phase. The article is based both on the theoretical analysis of the realities of contemporary Europe heterogeneous from the culture related point of view but being entangled in demographic problems and suffering from the flood of refugees and migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East, as well as on the empirical research done on the young generation of the so called 'Euro Arabs', who are representatives of the Arab world from 15 countries, living in Europe and that are the peculiar cultural hybrid which combines the elements of mass culture and tradition.

В European culture — the product of Western civilization that grew on the pillars of multiculturalism, expansion and progress. It is a place where for centuries a melting pot of cultures has been a natural driving force of progress and development, to which Europe owes not only its wealth. Europe also owes demographic problems to this, which today constitute the most important subject of scientific debate on the future of Europe and opportunities to maintain the achievements of the past, the level of civilization built by generations. 'Glass walls' invoked in the title of the article are of symbolic nature , no mention is made of real barriers known in history as the Great Wall of China, the Berlin Wall, Hadrian's Wall and others. It is about mental and invisible walls fo-cused around attitudes such as the ethnic and cultural distance, as well as intolerance and prejudices against any otherness. We live in Europe — a place where the foundations were laid for western civilization, from where for nearly half a millennium rays of splendor and development have been reaching almost every corner of the world; we live in a place that has been building its power not only through progress and development, but also blood and suffering. We must not forget the wealth of nations, from which we draw, the achievements of science, which illuminated the darkness of medieval Europe. In gratitude let us create a world friendly for 'foreigners' and demolish walls erected before our eyes. Marek Bodziany
