Culture Clash

                A culture clash is when two or more cultures disagree about their believe or way to life; this, normally happened when one culture is misunderstood by the other one or when one doesn’t want to learn about the rest, commonly this goes related to moral or static aspects of the people involved.

                Nowadays the culture clash is not that common like it used to be in the past, because now, people tend to accept other people and they, sometimes, don’t even care about people next to them. In others countries, this happened a lot, but in ours, it still being complicated in some aspects.

                An example of culture clash can be clearly exposed comparing United States and Chile, because in the first country, is easier to see many types of people, meaning, of different religions, sexual likes, music likes, politic likes, and they accept themselves, but here in Chile, we are still having problems with people showing their likes, we don’t accept new things easily, in fact, we tend to discriminate people with different likes. I chose this example because is the one I’m living, the one I see every day either on the street, or in the news, and I think that it is important to mention the differences between some developed countries and our country.

                I never experienced a culture clash, I’m very respectful with other people believes, I’m always trying to learn a bit more about other cultures, I think that it’s important to have at least an idea about different cultures.
