When I read that we have to write about culture clash, nothing came to my mind, I didn't know what to say (what to write in this case), so I began to search about it and I saw a couple of things. For example, I found out that it is also known as "culture shock", but this has a different connotation, maybe a sad meaning, at least that's what I feel about it. Anyway, I found a definition for culture clash that is more appropiate: "When one or more cultures are integrated into one environment, causing disruption and challenging contemporary traditions. Often occurs in multicultural societies." (I'll add the source at the end of the post). When I read this I immediately I started to think in which places this happens, and then the same again, nothing came to my mind. But then I thought: " which is the city what recieves the biggest amount of immigrants every year? New York city. I don't know if I am right, but it is true that a lot of foreign people arrives to NY. It has its Afro-American hood, its Hispanic hood, its Italian hood, its Chinese hood, its Guayanes hood and its jewish hood. I can Imagine all the culture that is mixed there, even if they have their own neighbourhoods.
I don't think I have experinced a culture clash situation lately, so I think that's all for now :)
