Cultural conflict is the disagreement between two different cultures. People are familiar with their culture, so they will find the differences are so strange and sometimes cannot adapt. I have an experience of love. When I was with a guy from an other culture, I could find so many things in comment. I thought I could adapt it because everything was going very well until we kissed. The way he expressed his feeling was so different and I didn’t know why my feeling were all gone. I could not feel any emotion or love, at that time, I recognized that maybe we had a big confliction or maybe he was a bad kisser.

Cultural conflict is the differences between cultures. It happens when people who form two different cultrues and have totally different opinion of same thing.Cultural conflict happens a lot, for example, the Tibet Dalai lama impacts China very bad, just because they have differnt belif with us, so cutrual conflict happens. Another example, Chinese Muslim dont eat pork, but rest of Chinese almost eat pork every day, so some of them are hate us eat pork, and if you talking about pork in a Muslim Reastruat, you may get hurt very bad.

cultural conflict is is a type of conflict that occurs when different cultural values and beliefs clash. Because in different cultural values and beliefs clash there always have something can not understand and accept by other cultural values and beliefs clash. i am a skeptic. When an ABC who is Christian believers always talk about his God and told me I should be converted to Christianity. I can not accept that and told him leave me along.

In my opinion, culture conflict is that people who have different culture backgrounds with different opinion. Different cultural backgrounds and experiences will influence how individual deal with things. That’s why conflicts happen.

I have a cultural conflict experience about studying. Chinese studying style is listening the lectures and answering the question. One question only has one answer. However U.S. studying style is more flexible, which more focus on self-studying. The answers of question can be different as long as you have a reasonable explain.

The cultural conflict between different forms of culture or cultural elements opposing mutually exclusive. for example，In the West, to visit someone must give prior notice or agreement, and explain the purpose, time and place of the visit, agreed before. Chinese people belonging to the national habit of multi-time, with considerable arbitrariness in the use of time, generally do not like Westerners do strictly according to plan, Westerners often feel up to.

          Cultural conflict is a type of conflict that occurs when different cultural values and beliefs clash. It has been used to explain violence and crime. There are communication can produce differences, different countries have different culture. Example :In China, keeping a low profile, making modest remarks is one kind of virtue, so I’m always very modest to said "not the line ", “ not enough “when others praise me. But" this does not accord with tradition of the west culture, especially USA. In Chinese culture it is ok, but In USA , too much modest is inferior, They think you did not have ability.

Cultural conflict is something making you feel nervous and anxious, but it doesn’t mean that it will make some bad effects on you. Cultural conflicts happen because different cultures contact. Different cultures have their features. Therefore, overcoming these differences makes cultural conflict. First month I arriving America, I can’t eat very well and be used to here, because in America there is no breakfast store nearing by. Without car, I can hardly buy breakfast. Even though I cook breakfast, I still can’t find the food which I use to eat in super market. There is only hamburger and hot dog but I can’t accept them. Second, the public transportation is not as good as my country. I have to wait a long time for the bus and bus stop is a little far. I am used to taking public transportation but American is used to driving car. I still can’t understand why everyone likes to drive instead of taking buses.

We always have conflict in daily life. It’s not necessary between different cultures, because the same culture can be so different depend on different views of people. People from the same country or even the same city can also have culture conflict, especially in the developing countries. For example, with the people come from the same country, in big city, they will have more open-minded than small city or countryside. Or just a very simple example of food, each part of a country will have different favor taste of food.

         Cultural conflict is disagreements between cultural beliefs and values by two or more sides. The reason of cultural conflict occurring is that different culture has different beliefs. For example, Chinese people prefer to toast each other and urge others to drink more in a lively atmosphere. But Westerner did not like it. In the West, people usually eat food quietly, even no talking. And for drinking they only symbolically take a sip. And I think the western people don't like Chinese eat and drink customer. And last time, I ate dinner in an American restaurant with my friends. And we talk loudly when we eating food, so, many people feel that we were impolite. I think this is cultural conflict.

Conflicts are hap- pening all around the world, as they always have, and at many different levels: interpersonal, social, national, and international. For example, at the interper- sonal level, friends or romantic partners may disagree about their relationship between themselves or with friends and family. Like the gay get married was illegal in China but it was legal in Netherlands.
