What is a culture war? Are culture wars beneficial to society?
What will be an ideal response?
A culture war is a situation in which two groups in the same society have very different views on interpreting the world based on their beliefs, values, and mores. The views are so radically different that they may result in violence, even homicide. The difference between cultural conflict and a culture war is the degree of resistance. Examples of culture wars include the pro-choice/pro-life debate, the traditional man-woman/same-sex marriage debate, and the multiple wife/monogamy standards of Mormons and Christians in the early 19th century. Although the violence and damage created by culture wars are detrimental to society, they also provide a vehicle for social change.
