A culture war is a form of cultural conflict between different social groups who struggle to politically impose their own ideology (moral beliefs, humane virtues, religious practices) upon mainstream society.[1][2]
In political usage, the term culture war is a metaphor for "hot-button" politics about values and ideologies, realized with intentionally adversarial social narratives meant to provoke political polarization among the mainstream of society over economic matters of[3][4]public policy[5] and of consumption.[1]
