Culture shock - laughing through the 4 stages #japaneseculture
Culture shock is the feeling of disorientation and discomfort that people often experience when they are suddenly confronted with a culture that is significantly different from their own.
Honeymoon: The initial stage is often characterized by excitement and fascination with the new culture. If you come for a short visit, your whole week might be spent in the honeymoon phase.
Frustration: This is what most people think of when they think of culture shock. As the differences become more and more apparent, frustration and irritation set in
Not everyone experiences culture shock in the same way or to the same degree.
Some people may adjust relatively quickly, while others may struggle with it for an extended period of time.
Adjustment: Over time, we start begin to develop coping strategies and adapt to the new culture. We become more confident in our surroundings, building relationships with neighbors and co-workers, and understanding the cultural nuances.
This stage is characterized by a growing sense of competence and familiarity with the new culture.
In the final stage of culture shock, individuals have fully adapted to the new culture and feel at home in their new environment. They may have developed close relationships with locals, become fluent in the language, and integrated into the community. At this point, the new culture no longer feels foreign, and individuals may even experience a sense of belonging.
Remember, culture shock is not a linear process, and individuals may move back and forth between stages.
