Adapted from Craig Stori, The Art of Crossing Cultures, (1996, Intercultural Press)
We expect others to be like us, but they aren’t
A cultural incident occurs which shocks us (our assumption of all people being alike is proven incorrect)
We withdraw
or
We reflect on our response, and seek input from locals
We learn the appropriate cultural response
Our confidence and comfort level grows
We react through emotional and physical detachment
We stay in the company of people from our culture group
We delay or impair our successful cultural adjustment
What triggers culture shock? (page 2) The Anatomy of Cultural Adjustment

We might call this the “honeymoon.” We become infatuated with our new environment, and find the
differences more intriguing rather than threatening. This stage may last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
• Open to new experiences, meeting new people
• Intrigued with new culture
• Willingness to explore new environment, to “learn the ropes”, get oriented
• Greater risk taking
Fascination StagePage 2

Flight Stage
The newness wears off as you begin to experience “cultural episodes” which serve as a reminder that you are not from this culture. Daily demands of living and working begin to get the best of you. You begin to withdraw from situations that involve differences of opinion or misunderstanding. You feel overwhelmed emotionally without knowing exactly why.
• Feels inadequate, unworthy, overwhelmed by the amount of need.
• Misses scheduled volunteer times.
• Starts showing up late to the volunteer site
![Page 16: Intercultural Workshop ~ Weaving cultural Diversity into Your Life](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032804/56812aef550346895d8ed63f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Frustration and anger get the best of you as you focus on the negative aspects of this new culture rather than the positive ones. You can be distant and critical in your relationships.
•Trying to impose middle class values.•Minor health problems may arise, usually stress-related•Constant comparison of middle class values vs. desiring “to fix” the situation the person of poverty.•Trying to educate those in poverty to the “correct way of behaving.

Most people will reach a point when they are able to resolve many of their initial frustrations with living in a new culture. As language skills and cultural awareness improve, one begins to feel more productive and at ease in this new
culture.
•Begin recognizing our own faith growth and development
•Heightens the personal passion for mission.
•Engaging and expanding relationships with the least, the lost, and the lonely.
•Recognizes God in the midst of diversity.
•Accepting and respecting other cultural values without judgment.
