DEALING WITH CULTURE CLASHES: CAUSES, IMPACTS, AND SOLUTIONS

Abstract

In an era of globalization, culture clashes conflicts arising from differences in cultural values, norms, and practices are increasingly prevalent. These clashes manifest in diverse settings, including workplaces, educational institutions, communities, and international diplomacy. As migration, global trade, and digital connectivity bring people from varied backgrounds into closer contact, misunderstandings rooted in cultural differences can escalate into social tension, economic inefficiencies, and psychological distress. Addressing culture clashes is critical for fostering collaboration, promoting social cohesion, and ensuring equitable opportunities in multicultural societies.
