"Transculture" or the transcultural approach as an extension and an enhancement of the intercultural approach is the master key that unlocks any culture. It is a cultural superhighway and lingua franca destined for the ushering in and the sustainable management of the global age. The intercultural approach fits the age of the 20th century where cultural interfacings were still more overseeable. But in the 21st century the players will multiply and interfacings will be less overseeable and controllable. Therefore the world needs an approach to culture and its management that can deal will myriads of diversity and cultural diversity in particular simultaneously in a holistic way; a culture general approach that functions as an cultural autopilot to effectively navigate global diversity at all scales in all shapes, forms and types.
