How to deal with culture shock

With the global development of modern world, cultural exchange between every country more and more frequently.Inevitably, it is influenced by culture shock.

Firstly, I want to set some examples about culture shock.The meaning of color is different in china and the west.Red represents luck, fortune in china.We often use this color to decorate in festivals.However, red indicates blood, revolutions and red is regarded as an unlucky color in the west.Another example is the difference in table manner.There is no doubt that it is a tradition to use chopsticks for China people.But westerners prefer to use forks and knives.In addition to the above, there are many other examples of this problem.

In recent years, many young people leave home to study in another country.However, there are also some challenges their will faces, one of the problems is cultural shock.Confronted with this problem, how can we solve this problem?In my opinion , most crucially, we should continue to seek common ground while shelving differences .Respect other cultures.Try to blend in as much as possible.Whats more, asked a local residents or someone with extensive experience how they would have handled the situation and what it means in the host culture.

In conclusion, conflict between different cultures is a normal phenomenon.As long as we adhere to the principle of seeking common ground while shelving differences, we will be able to communicate smoothly.
