Like most ailments, it has its own symptoms and cure. Cul

42、ture shock is precipitated by the anxiety that results from losing all our signs and symbols of social intercourse.

43、 to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and when to refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar cues are removed. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded or f

But this mentality does not normally last if th

49、e foreign visitor remains abroad and needs to seriously cope with real conditions of life. It is then that the second stage begins, characterized by a hostile and aggressive attitude toward the host country. This hostility evidently grows out of the genuine difficulty which the visitor experiences in the process of adjustment. There are house troubles, transportation troubles, shopping troubles, and the fact that people in the host country are largely indifferent to all these troubles. They help, but they dont understand your great concern over these difficulties. Ther
