Unit Nine Intercultural AdaptationI.Warm UpPlease read the story on page 298 . What can we learn from this case about the Japanese culture?II.Culture ShockRead the article “Adapting to a New Culture” (p299-304). What is culture shock? How to adapt to a new culture?※Culture shock can be described as the feeling of confusion and disorientation that one experiences when faced with a large number of new and unfamiliar people and situations.(from College English, 2005,14th,10)※◆当人们去到一个与自己原来的文化迥异的地方时,绝大多数人都会经历一种心理上的迷惑,这就是文化冲击。
——Robert Kohls(Survival Kit for OverseasLiving)1.Culture shock, or the early adaptation phase of transitioning into a newculture, refers to the transition period and the accompanying feelings of stress and anxiety a person experiences during the early period upon entering a new culture.2.Symptoms of culture shock: physiological, emotional, communication.(p299)3.Causes to culture shock: Culture shock is caused by the anxiety thatresults from losing all our familiar signs and symbols or social contact.4.Will culture shock affect everyone who enters a new country? Is thereany individual differences? Why?Individuals differ greatly in the degree in which culture shock affects them. The severity of culture shock depends on people’s personalities, language ability, emotional support, and duration of stay停留时间. It is also influenced by the extent of differences between the two cultures.5.Forms of culture shock(1)Language shock(2)Role shock(3)Transition shock(4)Cultural Fatigue(5)Education Shock(6)Adjustment Stress(7)Culture Distance◆Keep in mind :First, most people experience some degree of culture shock when they go to a new country. Second, culture shock passes with time.6.Four stages in getting used to life in a new country:1)Euphoria欢快: the first stage when everything seems wonderful withgreat happiness, a sort of honeymoon period.2)Depression, or culture shock: the stage despair when people tend to bevery critical of the country they’ve moved to, blaming it for their problems.3)Adjustment: the stage when people become better at coping with theirnew situation and feel happier and more confident.4)Acceptance: the stage when people finally get used to the new way oflife.Read Case 33 on p317-319 and identify the different stages revealed in each letter.U-curve patternW-curve Pattern7.how to cope with culture shock and adapt to a new culture: (p303-304) When one is experiencing culture shock, the best thing to do is to admitthat he/she is experiencing culture shock, try to identify your stage of culture shock, and work toward becoming more familiar with the new culture.(1)Do not become over-reactionary.保守(2)Meet new people.(3)Try new things.(4)Give yourself periods of rest and thought.(5)Work on your self-concept.(6)Write.(7)Observe body language.(8)Learn the verbal language.8.Two views of culture shock (p306-308)1.the disease view:1)The culture-shocked person experiences a breakdown incommunication, is unable to cope, and feels isolated and lost, thus develops a number of defensive attitudes and behaviors to protect the mind from the confusion of an entirely new situation.2)In this disease view, the culture-shocked person is a helpless victim;the only things to do are to adjust to the new culture somehow or to leave the culture quickly.3)In this view, people can experience many different emotional andmental difficulties. The culture-shocked person may start to glorify赞美the home country; people can become physically ill from the stress of culture shock.2.the self-awareness自我意识view:1)Culture shock can be part of a positive learning experience. Cultureshock, if handled well, can lead to profound self-awareness and growth.2)Learn a second language, observe different customs, and encounternew values.3)Enable people to gain insight into their own society; develop adeeper understanding of themselves and of the society that helped to shape their characters; provide a mirror in which one’s own culture is reflected.◆The major difference of these two views is in the attitude of aperson towards culture shock.III.Intercultural Adaptation1.Intercultural adaptation refers broadly to the process of increasing ourlevel of fitness to meet the demands of a new cultural environment.2.Read the article “Overcoming Ethnocentrism in Communication”(p309-313).1)In intercultural communication we tend to use the categories of ourown culture to judge and interpret the behaviors of the others who are culturally different from us. These ethnocentric impressionspredispose us to evaluate others negatively. When communicators engage in mutual互相的negative evaluation, the communication event may deteriorate恶化even further. With each turn of this regressive spiral螺旋向下, negative evaluations否定评价are intensified.2)Examples: American-Japanese; American-Nigerian; American-Thai;American-British;3)How to overcome ethnocentrism:We can overcome ethnocentrism by approaching every cross-cultural situation as a kind of experiment. Using available generalizations 概括about the other culture, we can formulate制定a hypothesis假设and then test it for accuracy. As more knowledge of relevant cultural differences is acquired, generalizations can become more specific, hypotheses more particular, and communication difficulties more predictable.IV.Case Study: Students are required to read the cases given carefully and try to analyse them from the viewpoint of IC.。
跨文化交流:打开心灵之窗Cross-cultural Communication: Opening the Windows of the SoulIn today's interconnected world, cross-cultural communication has become an integral part of our daily lives. From the global business sphere to the personal realm of friendships, understanding and respecting diverse cultures is crucial for successful interactions. In Unit 9 of the sixth grade North American Edition of the textbook, we delve into the nuances of cross-cultural communication, learning to appreciate the differences that make each culture unique.One of the key takeaways from this unit is the importance of being aware of our own cultural backgrounds. We must recognize that our behaviors, customs, and traditions are shaped by our upbringing and environment. Understanding our own cultural lens allows us to be more empathetic towards others who may have a different perspective.For instance, when communicating with someone from a different culture, it's essential to be mindful of their communication styles. Some cultures prefer direct and frank communication, while others prefer a more indirect and subtle approach. By being aware of these differences, we can avoid misunderstandings and conflicts.Moreover, respecting cultural norms and values is paramount. Different cultures have different taboos and sensitivities, and it's crucial to educate ourselves about these before engaging in cross-cultural communication. For example, certain topics may be considered taboo in certain cultures, while they may be freely discussed in others.It's essential to be aware of these differences and respect them.However, cross-cultural communication is not just about following rules and avoiding conflicts. It's also about opening our minds to new ideas and perspectives. By engaging with people from different cultures, we can broaden our horizons and gain a deeper understanding of the world. This, in turn, makes us more tolerant and understanding of others.In conclusion, cross-cultural communication is a vital skill that everyone should possess. It not only helps us in our professional lives but also enriches our personal relationships. By being aware of our own cultural backgrounds, respecting others' norms and values, and opening our minds to new ideas, we can create a more inclusive and understanding world.**跨文化交流:打开心灵之窗**在当今互联互通的世界里,跨文化交流已成为我们日常生活的重要组成部分。
Chapter 3:Making GeneralizationsWhen people have little information about a group of people they are likely to think of them in a very general way。
If the other people with whom they interact also lack information about that group, they are likely to share an overly generalizing based on limited or inaccurate information is called stereotyping。
We all make generalizationsEveryone generalizes every day just to make sense of his experience。
No one can respond to every situation as if it were entirely new and unique。
A student anticipating a class taught by a teacher he has never met, generalizes from his experience that teachers have certain typical behaviors, opinions, and expectations。
The student interacts with the new teacher he meets based on the generalizations he has made from his previous teachers. This is normal and sensible. The student may have a problem, however, if the generalization he makes is too broad or is based on inadequate or outdated information。
