Culture Shock
“Adjusting to a new culture and way of life is both exciting and challenging – you will experience some highs and lows during your time abroad. During these times of difficulty, just remind yourself that these cultural differences are the reason we all love to travel – to experience the unknown! Remember it’s just a phase!
As you adjust to the routine of daily life, that initial sense of adventure will wear off. During this phase you may start to miss your friends and families. During this time, you may find it hard to keep a positive attitude. You may be tempted to withdraw from people around you or even become hostile. At this point it is helpful to know that for most people this phase doesn’t last too long.”
Challenge, Richmond Publishing
De acordo com o texto, é correto afirmar que
durante a fase de ajuste às diferentes rotinas todos podem se tornar hostis.
se as pessoas não souberem se ajustar às diferenças, tal atitude pode resultar num afastamento dos demais membros do grupo comprometendo seu relacionamento com o mesmo.
o período de ajuste é longo, logo qualquer atitude mais estressante deve ser evitada.
ajudar todos do grupo a se conhecerem e se ajustarem em pouco tempo é a melhor tática.
