Cross Cultural Conflict and Adjustment
Cultural conflicts can arise from misinterpretations, ethnocentrism, stereotypes, and prejudice between cultures. When people move to a new culture, they experience stages of cultural adjustment including initial fascination, culture shock, learning to navigate daily life, potential isolation, and eventual acceptance and integration.

This worksheet contains questions to get to know someone by learning about where they live, their family, activities they enjoy, food and media preferences, transportation habits, travel experiences, and things that make them happy each day. It includes questions about one's name, occupation, languages spoken, free time activities, tastes in food and films from childhood to present, online reading habits, last film seen, commute, desire to live elsewhere, and three small things that make a day good. The goal is to have the person provide short autobiographical responses to gain insight into their life experiences and interests.
