Culture Shock~

In the lecture "Culture Shock",the professor gives us a clear definition about what the culture shock is. It is very nice for her to makes several examples which can help us to understand the main idea of this lecture.Moreover,she also compair the different countries' norms and values ,and she makes a chart to show Amercian values and korean values,base on that ,I learn Amercian value is independent ,but for korean ,the family is more important than the individual .Later ,i also think my country 's value ,it is very similar to the korean .In addition ,she indicates the four mechanisms ,and how do people act when they face the culture shock.Therefore ,I memorize when i just come to Canada ,when i face culture how did i act .The professior shows the four stages of the culture , and she also gives a example for each stage ,and the examples help us to know which stage we are in now.In my opinion ,the most important part in this lecture is the prefosser states how to overcome culture shock.althougt I think i already pass the culture shock stage,but i can use them when i go to any other countries.Therefor ,I think this lecture is very valuable for me .i learn a lot from this lecture .
