    Cultural conflict occurs when different cultural values and beliefs clash. It can arise between groups within the same society or on a larger scale such as between nations. Cultural conflicts are difficult to resolve as the parties have differing beliefs. Examples include debates over issues like abortion, ethnic cleansing, and wars like the American Civil War over slavery. Both sociologists and criminologists study how cultural conflicts can lead to crimes and deviance to find solutions.

    CULTURAL CONFLICT IS A TYPE OF


    CONFLICT THAT OCCURS WHEN
    DIFFERENT CULTURAL VALUES AND
    BELIEFS CLASH. BROAD AND NARROW
    DEFINITIONS EXIST FOR THE CONCEPT,
    BOTH OF WHICH HAVE BEEN USED TO
    EXPLAIN VIOLENCE (INCLUDING WAR)
    AND CRIME, ON EITHER A MICRO OR
    MACRO SCALE.
    А
    А

    CULTURAL CONFLICTS ARE DIFFICULT


    TO RESOLVE AS PARTIES TO THE
    CONFLICT HAVE DIFFERENT BELIEFS.[3]
    CULTURAL CONFLICTS INTENSIFY WHEN
    THOSE DIFFERENCES BECOME
    REFLECTED IN POLITICS, PARTICULARLY
    ON A MACRO LEVEL.[3]AN EXAMPLE OF
    CULTURAL CONFLICT IS THE DEBATE
    OVER ABORTION.
    А

    ETHNIC CLEANSING IS ANOTHER


    EXTREME EXAMPLE OF CULTURAL
    CONFLICT. WARS CAN ALSO BE A
    RESULT OF A CULTURAL
    CONFLICT; FOR EXAMPLE THE
    DIFFERING VIEWS ON SLAVERY
    WERE ONE OF THE REASONS FOR
    THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR.
    А

    CULTURE CONFLICT IS THE TERM


    USED TO DESCRIBE THE
    CONFLICT THAT ARISES DURING
    А THE INTERSECTION OF
    CULTURAL VALUES AND BELIEFS
    BETWEEN TWO OR MORE
    CULTURAL GROUPS LIVING
    WITHIN THE SAME SOCIETY.
    А

    AS A TOPIC OF STUDY, CULTURAL CONFLICT IS


    VIEWED IN RELATION TO ACTS OF CRIME AND
    DEVIANCE THAT EMERGE WHEN RISING
    TENSIONS BETWEEN GROUPS REACH THEIR
    BOILING POINTS. DIFFERENT SOCIAL GROUPS
    HAVE DIFFERENT CULTURAL IDEAS AND BELIEFS
    THAT CONFLICT AND THIS CONFLICT CAN
    POSSIBLY LEAD TO VIOLENCE AND CRIMINAL
    ACTIVITY.
    А

    BOTH SOCIOLOGISTS AND


    CRIMINOLOGISTS ANALYZE HOW
    THESE CRIMES OCCUR AND
    CONDUCT RESEARCH IN ORDER TO А

    FIND THE BEST WAY TO PINPOINT


    THE CAUSES OF CULTURE
    CONFLICT AND HOW TO FORM AND
    IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS.
    А CULTURE CONFLICT THEORY, ALSO KNOWN AS
    CULTURAL DEVIANCE THEORY, IS A THEORY
    THAT SUGGESTS THAT CONFORMITY TO THE
    PREVAILING CULTURAL NORMS OF LOWER-CLASS
    SOCIETY LEADS TO HIGHER CRIME RATES.
    А
    SPECIFICALLY, THE INTERSECTION OF
    SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONS, SUCH AS
    POVERTY, EDUCATION, AND FAMILY DISRUPTION
    WITHIN A HIGH MIXTURE OF DIFFERING
    CULTURAL VALUES CAN CORRELATE TO HIGHER
    LEVELS OF DISRUPTION AND DEVIANCE WITHIN
    SOCIETY.
    А
    WITHIN CULTURE CONFLICT THEORY,
    THERE ARE TWO MAJOR TYPES OF
    CONFLICT EXAMINED: PRIMARY AND
    SECONDARY. PRIMARY CULTURE CONFLICT
    OCCURS WHEN THE CLASH OF CULTURAL
    VALUES INVOLVES FUNDAMENTAL IDEAS OR
    CORE VALUES WITHIN A CULTURE, WHILE
    SECONDARY CONFLICT INVOLVES BELIEFS
    THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED OUTSIDE THE
    SCOPE OF STRICT FUNDAMENTAL VALUES.
    CULTURAL CONFLICT EXAMPLES А

    CULTURAL DIFFERENCES ARE PREVALENT


    IN ALMOST EVERY ASPECT OF SOCIETY.
    DIVERSITY IS NOT AN UNCOMMON
    OCCURRENCE WITHIN MAJOR CITIES AND
    URBAN CENTERS. ULTIMATELY, IT IS RARE
    FOR THESE INTERACTIONS BETWEEN
    PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS TO
    LEAD TO CRIME.
    А

    A CULTURAL CONFLICT IS A DISLIKE,


    HOSTILITY, OR STRUGGLE BETWEEN
    COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE DIFFERENT
    PHILOSOPHIES AND WAYS OF LIVING,
    RESULTING IN CONTRADICTORY
    ASPIRATIONS AND BEHAVIORS. THE NOTION
    ORIGINATES FROM SOCIOLOGICAL CONFLICT
    THEORIES AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL
    CONCEPTS OF INTERCULTURAL RELATIONS.
    А
    INTENSIVE DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM AS PART OF
    GLOBALIZING TRENDS OFTEN LEADS TO RAPID
    CHANGES IN LOCAL CULTURES OF “EXOTIC”
    TERRITORIES. THE NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF
    MODERNIZATION CONTRIBUTE TO THE
    INTENSIFICATION OF CONFLICTS CAUSED BY
    ALTERNATIVE PERCEPTIONS OF THE WORLD
    DETERMINED BY DIFFERENT SYSTEMS OF
    CULTURAL VALUES AND BELIEFS. INCLUDING AXIO-
    NORMATIVE CONDITIONS, CULTURAL CONFLICTS
    ARE OFTEN PROVOKED BY THE SOCIOECONOMIC
    SITUATION IN GIVEN COMMUNITIES.
