The Culture Clash

To be honest, I had no idea what "clash" meant, but searching by internet, I found the answers that I needed.
The first I did was search the definition of "clash", and the results was: "to fight or argue/ if two opinions, statements or qualities clash, there are very different from each other". Then, in conclusion "culture clash" is the misunderstanding between different cultures.
As I know the meaning of the term, I can realize that in today's world there is much this phenomenon, because I think people are not tolerant with other cultures than their own culture. For example, the Chilean people never had ethnic problems with the Peruvian, however, when they began arriving in bigger numbers to our country, we reacted badly. I know there are many Peruvians who came to Chile looking for a better quality of life and I respect it; and also I undertand that there are too many Peruvians working here and less Chilean people, but when you want something, you can get regardless of price. Admittedly, the Peruvian people are hard workers, however Chileans are lazy and want to make money working shortly.
I think this world needs a dose of empathy, acceptance and tolerance, because to this way we would look upon the world with more positive, which would not have differences in skin color, gender, beliefs, customs, etc. but that we might all equal.
