Do you believe that cultural differences cause many problems?

Or it's people who are unwilling to accept cultural differences that are the problem.

Cultural differences, not people! Culture shapes people into who they are. A newborn baby is a blank canvass, once you start hacking at its genitals filling its head full of culture you are shaping it into something it wasn't.
Overtime with education and influence of mixing with other cultures we gain the ability to reflect. This helps us to be self-reflexive to find a moderate route between the extremes of a conservative and excessively open lifestyle, so that we always retain our integrity.

Nothing is impossible if we open ourselves to change.

@Random1Thoughts Then you end up with no cultures, just a bland mix of what is acceptable and what is not. Maybe that would be the only culture in the end? A culture that in itself is not a culture as its not defined from anything else.

We are already witnessing how cultural differences may give rise to misunderstandings and conflicts.

In some cases, cultural differences are used as the pretext for starting a war, discrimination against certain nationalities and cultural groups, etc. In such a case, there is a combination of misunderstanding between cultures and a clear political, ideological or economic motive to the conflict. The results of cultural differences can be many and various in normal life, ranging from misunderstandings which can be laughed away, to threats to the very existence of a person.

Lol... this topic is now mowing on the lawn of complication.
