Experiencing Culture Shock

\n

 

\n

When Eliza James arrived at the University of Xian, she was excited to live in a new country, to improve her Chinese, and to experience a culture so different from her own. But soon her excitement turned to frustration as she encountered one roadblock after another. \”I felt like I couldn\’t accomplish anything. My dorm room had no heat, I couldn\’t get into the classes I wanted, and every time I asked someone for help they gave me the runaround. I felt like no one was listening to me.\” Eliza met with administrators, sent letters of complaint, and even contacted the consulate in Beijing, but she got nowhere. What Eliza didn\’t realize was that her American approach to solving problems was very different from the Chinese one in which patience and negotiation skills are key. She soon learned how to solve problems within the cultural norms of Chinese society instead of forcing her own values onto those around her. \”I finally feel like I fit in and that I know what I\’m doing. In fact, it\’s really fun being in a place that\’s so incredibly different from what I am accustomed to.\”

B  Yoshi Yamamoto is a junior at a small college outside of Boston. Although he is an honors student now, Yoshi didn\’t always have such an easy time studying in America. \”Teaching methods are very different here than they are in Japan. It took me a long time to get used to learning in seminars and discussing ideas with my classmates. At first it seemed like I wasn\’t actually learning anything.\” Yoshi\’s reaction was to totally withdraw: he didn\’t participate in class discussion; he spent lots of time alone in his room, and he even skipped class on occasion. \”I thought I could teach myself. Now I recognize the value of the U.S. academic system, and I am able to adapt it to my own learning style.\”

\n

Both Eliza and Yoshi experienced what is called culture shock: psychological disorientation due to living in a new culture. For many international students, studying abroad can offer exposure to new cultures and an opportunity to study new fields and languages. However, it also offers the greater challenge of trying to function in a foreign culture. Studying and reading about a certain culture is poor preparation for the reality of living in it. According to psychological studies, the four stages of culture shock are 1. euphoria, 2. hostility, 3. gradual adjustment, and 4. adaptation. Culture shock can be manifested in many ways: homesickness, boredom, stereotyping of or hostility towards the host culture, overeating or overdrinking, withdrawal, and inability to work effectively.

\n

D  Different people experience different levels of culture shock and react in different ways. For example, Eliza got angry while Yoshi withdrew from society. The most important thing to remember is that culture shock is normal; it is not something to be ashamed of. Luckily, there are some things international students can do to make their adjustment to a new country go more smoothly. For instance, they can stay in touch with family and friends from home, join international student organizations, meet people from their own countries, and get involved in campus activities. Most importantly, they can adjust to life abroad by keeping a sense of humor and trying to remain positive.
