I feel that we had better not discuss potical issue in our essays. Normally, the culture conflicts seem to be a common topic, if we combine such topic with special background, such as difference in age, gender, or speicliazaion. I feel the essay will be at least not bad.
For "difficult interaction", I feel the "process" to conquer the diffculty should also be emphasized.
Jack, I agree with you. "要强调你在处理的时候的innovation". It does not make sense to say that you bumpped into a problem without explaining how you delt with it. In you essay, you may demonstrate your analytical skills, innovation, communicaiton skills, integrity etc.
