Overview Of The News Report
The two groups have different cultures, which make them perceive certain behaviors differently. The response to the refugee crisis varies significantly among the people in Europe. There are key differences in cultures across Europe concerning Muslims migrants. The common thread chosen to connect the concept of culture differences concerning the refugee crisis often focuses on the idea of culture clashes. It is widely accepted in present political debate on migration and refugees, that the essential issue is culturally integrating into the host society with people who have different cultural values and morals than their European host. The troubled history in the treatment of cultures along with cultural clashes concerning Migrants and European hosts expresses that it should aim more towards tolerance than that of intolerant behaviors. In addition communities can try to understand unfamiliar practices rather than immediately condemning them.
Identification Of Multicultural Conflict (Antoinette)
For the refugees who are predominantly Muslims, they appreciate that women wear clothes that are not revealing.
There is no big deal for Germans to a woman wear revealing clothes.
This is a cultural conflict because there is interaction between two different cultures with different perceptions.
Thesis Statement
The vast cultural differences between the Muslim migrants and their European hosts are causing major clashes between the migrants, and the citizens. This is causing an increase in crime, multicultural conflict, and potential changes in policies. This can have a chilling effect on host country compassion for the migrants.

Analysis Of Social Psychology Aspect Of News Story (Brian)
Social Psychology Defined
Actual, Imagined, or Implied Personal Presence
Cognition= Thought
Affect= Feeling
Behavior=Action
Situationism
Social Psychology is the scientific attempt to explain how the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of an individual are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of other human beings (Fiske, 2014). It is true that social influence directly affects behavior. This is also known as following the crowd. These large groups of young men did not all go to this event strictly to rob and sexually assault the local citizens. They allowed outside influences to dictate their behavior. Situationism is the scientific belief that context is a huge factor in interpreting behavior (Fiske, 2014). Behavior is more of a reaction to the situation at hand, rather than an accurate characterization of the character of those individuals.

How do we interact with others?
Multiculturalism is not only ethnicity based.
In this story, as in most major events, there are two sides that interpret it according to their systems of beliefs. Cultural influences on though have a major influence on how the memory of these events will be recounted in the future. Understanding cultural motivation is a major aspect of Multicultural Psychology. Individualism will cause the person to remember the event as the self being a part of it. Collectivists will remember it from the outside looking in. Cultures tend to change when people such as the migrants come into contact with the culture of their host country. The men in this situation were appauled at the perceived immoral conduct of the Western woman. This in turn caused them to act in a manner that it completely morally unacceptable in Western Culture. Before the conduct displayed in this story can be fully understood, it is first necessary to understand the heavy influence that Multiculturalism has on contemporary societies.

Conclusion
Tensions in Europe have been rising because of the disparate burden faced by some countries. BBC news (2016) reported More than a million migrants and refugees crossed into Europe in 2015, sparking a crisis as countries struggled to cope with the influx, and creating division in how the government and the people deal with crisis. Perception causing culture conflict has been evident. Therefore, resolving multicultural conflict appears to be a pressing matter within these burdened communities.
