On a distinct note, Samuel Huntington, said that there are indeed real differences in values and cultures among civilizations. The idea of a bridge, as suggested in the title of the session, implies there is something separating them. The issue is whether this is a &#8220;bridge over a chasm, a wide ocean, a changing stream or what?&#8221; He is not sure of the answer, but he is certain that differences exist, although they need not lead to clashes among civilizations. Another interesting issue, he noted, is the role of modernization in cultural exchange. In response to criticisms that his book, The Clash of Civilizations and the Reality of World Order, dwelled on the clashes between Islamic and Western values and ignored the conflicts between Christian groups such as those in Northern Ireland, Huntington claimed that the clashes between Protestants and Catholics do not carry the same potential threat to world peace.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div> &hellip;<p class=\"ast-the-content-more-link\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/ssamir.com\/de\/279\/addressing-samuel-huntington-is-it-really-a-clash-of-civilizations.html\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Addressing Samuel Huntington, is it really a clash of civilizations?<\/span>Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2002 I attended a discussion session with Huntington in NYC during the WEF meeting about bridging civilizations.
