Unite reflection

Reflection What I learned.Culture shock is the first topic we talk about, which makes me interested. I heard Culture shock, but never feel it until I come to U.S. Some people will hug you or shake your hand hardly, it would not happen in China when someone see you. Second topic is about iceberg, I thought it is just a view. The radio told us that culture iceberg have three parts, the formal, technical, and informal. I still don’t understand, when the radio give the example, I got the aha moment. How I learned. We discuss with each other, we talked about our weekend, everyone tried to adapt the life style in U.S. The culture in U.S is mix culture, so classmate are keeping their our culture. Talking to them, I learn Korea culture such as they love hot food, Togo people love scorer. We compare our culture, ask about the culture we don’t know. For example, when I am doing my CIP, someone asked me whether everyone learned Kongfu in China. So we learn by talking. Learn about how to define American, when I am on the road, I will look at everyone I meet.Looking his/her gender and physical appearance,and think about his/her culture. Find out what is impolite and remind myself not to do that. I could make more and more friends by this way. This skill is also can work in talking. I can find many detail in someone dressing and appearance and know what he/she likes, then I can use it as a topic. Bumper Sticker:SHOCKING and LEARNING,
