Communicating Across Cultures

Communicating Across Cultures

How often have you heard people say that the world is getting smaller? 

Your life today is affected by the decisions and actions of people in other parts of the world. Culture shock often occurs when you have contact with people from another culture within your home community. Culture shock is the psychological discomfort you may feel when you attempt to adjust to a new cultural situation.

Read Chapter Three of your textbook. Think about a situation that caused you to experience a culture shock. It could have been at work or at school. 

Describe the situation and how it made you feel in two paragraphs of 10-12 sentences each. Type your paragraphs in Microsoft Word and submit here.
