Conflicting Cultures in Morocco

The world is a colossal place with a great variety of cultures, traditions, and people. Of course every country does things differently, and you hear that all the time through books or movies, but actually experiencing the chance first hand is a whole different story.
This past summer I was presented with the opportunity to travel to Morocco. I had not researched the country at all (asides from knowing that the Disney movie Aladdin takes place there) so i really had no idea what to expect.  Right of the bus, the tour guide had a very aggressive tone of voice with strong gestures, which got the group a little tense. As time went by we discovered that the tour guide wasn't angry, it was just a miscommunication between cultures. While in our American culture speaking loud with sharp annunciation may be seen as an act of aggression, that is just simply how the Moroccans do.
Another conflict other members of my tour group had to deal with were more social. Some females of our group didn't realize Morocco is a Muslim nation were females dress modestly. Being American, they showed up in running shorts and spaghetti straps because it was very hot,  but that lead to some Moroccan males harassing them about being immodest, and they had no choice but to buy something to wear because they weren't in their country and had to assimilate.
