Cultural conflict occurs when different cultural values, beliefs, or practices clash, leading to misunderstandings or disagreements. This can happen in various settings, such as workplaces, communities, or even between nations. For example, differing views on gender roles or religious practices can create tension among groups. These conflicts often arise from a lack of awareness or appreciation for other cultures. When individuals or groups fail to recognize the validity of differing perspectives, it can result in stereotypes, discrimination, or social division. Addressing cultural conflict requires open communication and a willingness to learn about and respect diverse cultural backgrounds.
