I was thinking about this today and came up with five "societal themes" that (I think) all civilizations have in common:
1) family- to exist together (democracy, tribal, feudal, democratic-republic, monarchy, theocracy)
2) religion - a codified way of relating to the supernatural (pantheism, monotheism, naturalism)
3) education - teaching so everyone can get a job (conveyor belt), teaching skills for a specific job (professional), and/or teaching leadership skills to a privleged few (leadership) (* this breakdown is from an educational speaker - can't remember his name right now)
4) military - either defensive, expansive (projecting power), opportunistic (raiding)
5) workforce - industrial, agricultural, hunter-gatherer, trade, technological

How has the European Union united Europe by promoting a common culture?
The European Union has not done that. First of all, the European Union does not have all countries of Europe as members.

It is by more practical things of common interest that they have helped bring countries closer together, such as trade.
