Cultural conflict is inevitable

Your essay this week is a persuasive essay.  The assignment requires you to take a stand for or against the following statement:

Cultural conflict is inevitable. The best we can hope for is to minimize the damage.

Argue for or against this statement. Please use at least one source to support your position.  The source can be your text or an outside source (or both if you want to use two sources). An essay tip from former students:  It sometimes is easier to have two sources to give you more ideas for your essay.

State your position in your introductory paragraph.  Use separate paragraphs for each main point to support your position. Remember to finish with a good, strong conclusion. The result should be a maximum of one page (single-spaced with a blank line between paragraphs, typical font and margins).
