Document Summary
Conflicts of cultures are inevitable when the norms of one cultural or subcultural area migrate to or come in contact with those of another. Conflicts between the norms of divergent cultural codes may arise: 01. When these codes clash on the border of contiguous culture areas: 02. When, as may be the case with legal norms, the law of one cultural group is extended to cover the territory of another; or: 03. When members of one cultural group migrate to another. We need only to recall the effect on the american indian of the culture conflicts induced by our policy of acculturation by guile and force. The conduct of members of a group involved in the conflict of codes will in some respects be judged abnormal by the other group. Scholars concerned with the effect of such conflicts on the conduct of specific persons view the conflict as internal.
