The Clash

A culture clash is the feeling of surprise or confusion caused by the contact between a person and a totally different social environment, such as when we are visiting another country.


An example of this is when Americans travel to Asia or reverse happens. This week I saw a story on a program television where they featured a man who traveled to Easter Island, the idea is to show what the islanders think about Chilean people who visit your island because they consider not part Chile. The man showed how the islanders do not have a good opinion of us, because they think that a person who was not born on the island this person shouldn´t live there. They believe that people who are going to live on the island have damaged their culture and ideals of other people are against their history.
