This document discusses the effects and typical patterns of culture shock. It describes culture shock as a sense of uprootedness and disorientation when familiar behaviors are seen as bad manners in a new culture. Typical reactions to culture shock include assuming something is wrong with the new culture rather than oneself, overvaluing one's own culture and defining it in moral terms while undervaluing the new culture. The document notes that culture shock can occur towards those different in country, race, gender, age, religion, occupation or region. Overcoming culture shock requires consciously understanding other cultures' reasonableness rather than assuming moral faults.

Fame creativity & psychiatry
This document discusses the relationship between fame, creativity, and mental illness. It notes that mood disorders are more prevalent among creative professions like poets, musicians, and painters. Certain traits like fluency of thought and ability to combine ideas that are seen in hypomania may also be traits of creative thought. Some research suggests genes that increase risk of mental illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have been preserved in human evolution due to their relationship with creativity. The document also discusses some famous individuals who suffered from medical or psychiatric illnesses and the challenges of coping with fame, including stress, substance abuse, and relationship issues. It acknowledges limitations in making broad generalizations due to cultural differences and lack of comprehensive research.

INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION - COMMUNICATION PERSPECTIVES
Small talk serves the purpose of showing openness to conversation. It involves questions that require little thought and can vary between cultures. The length of time spent on small talk and how frequently it occurs also differs across cultures. Relating information generally refers to literally conveying instructions or directions. However, information is not always taken literally between cultures. Rituals are stereotyped sequences of symbolic actions performed for religious or cultural purposes. They are often difficult for outsiders to understand but allow observers insight into a culture. Affective communication expresses emotions, but some cultures emphasize rationality over emotion more than others. Instrumental communication aims to achieve goals through commands, requests, or factual statements. The interpretation of instrumental language can differ between cultures

CULTURE AND IDENTITY.pptx A concept of Sociology
Cultural identity is shaped by many factors such as family, community, gender, religion, and nationality. A person's cultural identity influences how they interpret and react to situations. Important parts of cultural identity are unconsciously learned from social groups through exposure to cultural norms and behaviors. Understanding one's own cultural identity is important for navigating interactions with other cultural groups and feeling a sense of belonging.
Ch2
Culture is shaped by the cumulative knowledge, beliefs, and objects acquired by a group over generations. There are two views of cultural determinism - one that sees people as products of their culture with no free will, and one that is more optimistic about human potential. Cultural relativism holds that no culture is intrinsically superior and each should be understood on its own terms. As technology increases cultural diffusion and leveling, reducing differences between societies, it also allows new forms of culture to emerge.

Later stages involve developing understanding of both cultures and gaining confidence in the new culture. The document advocates learning social/behavioral norms and building support systems to aid successful long-term cultural adaptation.

Effects Of Culture Shock
- 1. Effects of Culture Shock • A sense of uprootedness • Feeling of disorientation • Not knowing what is going on • Behaviours and attitudes which were necessary for obtaining goals in the culture we learned are no longer useful • Familiar behaviours which marked a well-adjusted person in one's own culture are now seen as bad manners • So many adjustments to be made that one becomes overwhelmed, frustrated, and angry Typical Pattern of Culture Shock • At first we think it is charming • Then we think it is evil • Then we think it is different Typical Reactions to Culture Shock • We assume something is wrong with them, not with us • We over-value our own culture
- 2. • We define our own culture in moral terms: Natural, rational, civilized, polite • We under-value the new culture and see it in moral terms: I.e., as immoral About Whom Do We Feel Culture Shock? • Most everyone who is different: • country • race • gender • age • religion • occupation • region In Summary • Culture shock is a typical reaction to difference. • To get beyond the reactions of culture shock requires a self- conscious effort to understand the reasonableness of other people’s way of life.
- 3. • Our own culture is: • Take for granted, invisible to us. • Deeply emotionally felt, even when we do not realize it. • Learned as moral claims. • We typically assume people who behave differently are wilfully immoral. • They think the same about us.
