Trouble writes "My TESOL book contained all of two pages on culture shock. All it did was detail out the stages of culture shock, and
reminded the reader that it gets really bad at three months. Since they didn't really dwell on it, I didn't really dwell on it either, which is why I was completely unprepared for the breakdown I
had two weeks after coming to China. |

1. Open Mindedness... The ability to keep one's opinions flexible and receptive to new stimuli seems to be important to intercultural
adjustment. 2. Sense of Humor... A sense of humor is important because in another culture there are many things which lead one to weep, get angry, be annoyed, embarrassed, or discouraged.
The ability to laugh off things will help guard against despair. |

Culture Shock & The Problem Of Adjustment To New Cultural Environments |
|
VIEW
Full document |
Culture shock is precipitated by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. These signs are the
thousand and one ways in which we orient ourselves to the situations of daily life: when to shake hands and what to say when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to give orders to
servants, how to make purchases, when to accept and when to refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. |

In the final stage of adjustment the visitor accepts the customs of the country as just another way of living. He can operate within the new
milieu without a feeling of anxiety although there are moments of strain. Only with a complete grasp of all the cues of social intercourse will this strain disappear. |

Some participants returning from extended international study find no one willing to relive those fascinating, cultural memories. Family and
friends are waiting to greet you open arms, but not always with open eyes. Facing the unbelievable "newness" of home and the unwillingness of friends to listen leaves returning
participants feeling more like strangers in their own country. |
