Keywords:

this paper explores the phenomenon of culture clashes, which occur when people from different cultural backgrounds interact and experience misunderstandings or conflicts. It examines the root causes of these clashes, such as differing values, communication styles, and social norms. The study also highlights the impact of globalization in increasing cross-cultural interactions and stresses the importance of cultural sensitivity and mutual respect to prevent and resolve conflicts. Several real-world examples are analyzed to illustrate how culture clashes can affect international relations, workplace dynamics, and everyday social encounters.
