The Clash of Civilizations

Although this reading seems to be more irrational then the previous I however agreed more with Huntington then Fukuyama. I don't think that we have seen the end of history because the war of cultures seems inevitable.

I believe that in the coming years more conflicts will arise between groups in different civilizations (however hard it is to distinguish them) because whether we realize it or not our world is shrinking due to increased communication and technology thus forcing cultures to bump heads. I think more then anything this will lead to conflict because just like two tectonic plates rupturing and fighting for territory and power resulting in an earthquake, two cultures going head to head could create its own disaster. In today's day and age a war would be our metaphorical equivalent of an earthquake because it shakes the world and disrupts everything.

Over the years we have seen the West consistently intervene in other cultures to provide a universal democracy throughout the world however I think America is overstepping its boundaries literally. We need to be more accepting of other cultures and other civilizations if we want to avoid growing tensions and destroying one another.
