Explanation:

Huntington posted a forward-thinking idea in his book A Clash of Civilization and the Remaking of World Order that alignments defined by ideology and superpower relations are giving way to alignments defined by culture and civilization. In today’s world, cultural communities are replacing Cold War blocs, and the fault lines between civilizations are becoming the central lines of conflict in global politics. Whether it be the LGBTQ community, the Islamic State (IS) or other religious groups, or other groups with specific agendas, these newly emerging communities with principles, values and orientations different from the status quo pose new threats to the legitimacy of the majority. The minority, or groups with less influence in the global culture, often involve themselves in negotiations, and sometimes resort to terror as in the case of IS, to gain more power and status and further their goal.

To further investigate, understanding underlying contradictions between different cultures is the center of tackling such issues. Often we find ourselves caught in political games of choosing sides and telling “right” from “wrong”. Dogmatically accepting political correctness blinds us from approaching the core of conflicts: a division of cultural systems . In reality, rather than rushing to judge minority groups with the majority’s standards, we should bear in mind that any standard would lose its validity without its cultural backgrounds and contexts. Based on different logic or rule, one may come to even conflicting conclusions about the legitimacy of a minority group. For example, it is hard to challenge and revise the established values that have existed for centuries about the taboos on same-sex relationships. The LGBTQ community has long been suppressed by religious fanatics and even often brutally treated with violence, as in the case of the Stonewall Riots in 1969. The existence of same-sex relationships and behavior contradicts the doctrine of some religions, yet the phenomenon can neither be ignored nor proven wrong rationally. Is the fact that Mother Nature allows such diversity to exist not proof that it must be natural, or at least tolerated? There is no reason to connected evil with the LGBT community. Quoting Shakespeare, “…there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so” (Hamlet, Act 2, Scene II). Thus understanding the system of culture before jumping to conclusions should be a stepping stone to confronting the clash.
