Details:

Find a recent situation in which a conflict related to cultural differences occurred. You can find the situation by asking a friend if they have had any experiences, looking into the news/media for an example, or relating a personal experience you witnessed. In a total of 500-750 words, write out the details of the conflict as communicated by the source of the story.
