Intercultural conflict is the differences between cultures in all sort of interaction. The differences can be in a  many way it can be in a wider concept as beliefs and behaviors, or can be in a narrow concept as greeting and  eating behaviors.

Every person goes through intercultural conflict in their life either in school, work or social life. The  intercultural conflict can be an issue but with a smart approach it will change your personality and broaden  your mind. Interacting with other cultures will make you more understanding to people’s differences and will  increase your acceptance to other people’s reaction and behavior. In my case, I had Intercultural conflict on  my first job, I come from conservative culture which is totally different that the other cultures. In my first day  at work my manager welcomed me and raised his hand to greet me , in my culture its forbitten to have a  physical contact with the other gender which my manager didn’t know because he comes from different  culture. When I didn’t shake his hand he thought I was being rude not to greet him back , this situation  showed him that I am impolite  , which effected his first impression of me. Nevertheless, I decided to explain  to him my reaction since he was not aware that its part of my culture. While taking him through the  differences in our cultures I discovered that his was not aware of so many things that might get him in big  conflicts in the future.  He was very understanding and respectful to my culture and believes and every time  he is in a situation to deal with someone from my culture he always checks with me about how to deal with  them.
