Culture Shock

The lecture talk about the culture shock, which show me that people move to different country always get culture shock, because of the different language, environment, food and people. Norms and values are the parts of culture, the correlation between them is that values are socially ideas about what is good, desirable, or important. These shared ideas are usually the basis of a society’s norms, rules that specify how people should behave. Furthermore, the defences are divided into 4 parts reparation, regression, isolation and rejection, and there are six symptoms of culture shock. First, talk a lot in their own language, second, look very blank, third, afraid they will be hurted, fourth, angry, fifth, physically get sick, sixth, everything is marvelous. Fortunately, there are many ways to overcome this situation. For instance, keep busy, hard work and learn the language. Anyway, there are many example, fact and evidence to explain what is culture shock, what cause the culture shock and how to solve serious of these problems. However, I am confused in the part of the four stage of culture shock, which is honeymoon strategy, nature shock, adjustment, and recovery. May be is mine mistake that I did not understand in this part. all in all, after watching this lecture, I know more knowledge about culture, and something come my mind deeply, as instructor said all culture are good, and people can not say which one is bad. Importantly, people learn more culture only can bring more benefits for them.
