It is a civilizational unity is a basis for the emergence and existence of multiple modernities with their endless social and cultural diversity (S. Eisenstadt, J. Arnason, P. Wagner). The development of the western and eastern societies in the civilization relation should be comparative study based on the figurative Sociology of Norbert Elias. Figuration is an entwinement of relationships people, intended and unintended social and cultural processes. In the center of the figurative process is fluctuating voltage equilibrium, a balance of power, which belong to the structural characteristics of configurational currents. Civilizational distinction show a full range of colorful entwinement intentional and unintentional links, networks , activities, structures, states. Sociogenesis symbols of culture and civilization shows how they precede unplanned actions and relationships between individual and group. However, they require an understanding and designing models or strategies of economy, government and culture, both at the individual and collective levels.

Civilizational order as well as at global and local levels is a set of flexible forms of social mobilization, effective institutions, technology management, cultural controls and patterns. Figurative modifications, meaning moving modernities of contemporary societies, speak about degree of their civilizational variability while maintaining a fundamental properties in common. Figuration as interdependence of people is primarily mediated by factors like social communication. The main mechanism of interaction within and between national societies (states, communities) are historically formed socio-cultural practices and a variety of social communication (transit, exchange, and use of experience, knowledge and information). Civilizational configuration is a variety of modernities, coexisting and interacting actively in the changing political and socio-cultural space.
