Ethnic conflict


The ethnic conflicts are the entire disagreements between the different cultural groups. The society has distinct customs and religions that it can be the principal cause of a conflict. Some sociologists and political scientists debate about the differences between the ethnic groups. At the same time they analyze the consequences in labor and academic aspects. In relation with the movie crash we can see the effect of ethnic conflict in the American society because of the cultures or religions.
The ethnic conflict can be influenced by the acceptance of different cultures and costumes. For example, the Persian culture is treated like terrorists and dangerous people because of their appearance which is similar to Muslims. Another ethnic group can be the Afro-American which are involved in a discriminatory environment. For that reason, they felt threatened. This fact produces violence and disrespect. A lot of people judge what others do just because of their characteristics or behavior. In some countries the fact that someone belongs to one culture which is different or unusual is a cause for repress their emotions and culture.
Another cause of ethnic conflict is the religion because it can be the limit of what the society is going to believe. The first action of the people when they see something new is denied the new activity or in this case the new religion. The answer for a change it is going to be the rejection of the new religious beliefs. That’s why some religions close their minds and reject the fact that other people with different thoughts can fit in their community. The religion is a common cause in the society to make the people felt discriminated and became in an excluded group of the society.
The consequences of belong to a culture or religion can be positive or negative to each person. When a group of people have unusual cultures or religions in the civilization they will be treated like strangers. One consequence of this error is to have difficulties to enter to a good university. For example, the Latin-Americans sometimes don’t have the same opportunities to win a scholarship. In the labor field the person who has an accepted religion or culture can get a better job opportunity in a well- known company.
One recommendation is to implement a best cultural education. In that case, it will be easier for people understand the differences between cultures. If we change our thoughts related to other cultures and religion it’s going to be easier to live in a peaceful world.
