Exercise #2

Cultural Conflict presentation Outline - #2   
Exercise #2

The Conflict is on Xinjiang region in People's Republic of China. And the involved parties are the Muslim Chinese who lives in the region and Chinese government. The conflict is mainly focusing on not allowing Muslim people from fasting at Ramadan which is one of the main aspects of their religion. And since this is part of the Islamic religion ritual it became a sensitive situation for them, especially that the government reason’s and justification was weak and not logical.

We think the cultural view on these conflicts is all about power and fear since the government uses its power to ban Muslims from fasting during Ramadan claiming that it will effect on employees health and their capability, without taking in consideration the Sacredness of the subject for the Muslims.

In our opinion the best solution to this problem is allowing Muslim’s to carry out and perform their Religious behaviors without any interruption, especially they didn't cause any harm of any kind to other local’s what so ever.

Exercise #1 

Is bullfighting cultural acceptable? OR should we as traveler's to help make changes in traditions??

We cannot impose our culture as we are travelers to tell what is acceptable and what isn't, however, in their society it’s acceptable as it is part of their culture. For me killing bulls by claiming it is a tradition is a crime as 

they are enjoying doing, watching and supporting such a thing.

Since it started too long ago, it’s very difficult to make changes to their culture and tradition in which we have no rights to interfere with their own believes.
