(9pp) We claim left and right that we are a
multi-cultural world. After all, we have the
internet - we think we know how to use it. We
tend to think that we are "savvy." At least we do
until we go somewhere else, particularly to a
non-English speaking country; and experience all
the frustrations of a two year old who can't make
themselves understood. In a new place, under new
circum-stances, with little input over our own
condition, or perceived destiny, we are
experiencing "culture shock." However if we
understand that this is almost a given, when
going to a new place, it is possible to turn that
experience into a positive, and one which will
work toward our advantage, and the furthering of
pro-social business. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
