Cultural Encounters

There is usually tension when one culture meets another. Sometimes this leads to conflict, but if handled well, it can make way for learning and deeper relationships. Our American culture is NOT better than any of the cultures that refugees come with, but they should learn about American culture since this is their new home. We can learn a lot from them as well.

Please share any culture-clash situations that you have encountered and how it was (or was not) resolved. If you learned something valuable from interacting with another culture, share that as well! (Please do not use names)
