My experience about the cultural shock.
The Cultural
shock in psychology is very difficult to understand, as is driven for different currents and authors from this science. However, I take the currents of the
social psychology, which is united directly from Anthropology. The cultural
shock is understood like a conflict set of de different beliefs enter one
culture with other.
This
definition is very basic, as the psychology hasn’t of the one definition about
this topic.
About me
experienced a cultural shock, I would write when started to studied in the university…¡yes, in
my own university! There, many partners of the generation did from different high
sectors, for example Lo Barnechea, Las Condes, in others. That I caused a lot
of feelings, like missed of identity, customs and a little nostalgic to my high
school, as that, I did really happy.
I remember
when the first class in the Universidad de Chile, chairs totally full, a big board
and my teacher sit on the table and speaking about of the introduction of
psychology. In this moment, I feel a little happy and curiously, but also I feel
a lot of the sorrows and melancholy because I stayed with people different to
me. For example, they speaks English and different language since many before, they have a clothes
very expensive and many cash, instead I, I don’t has the money even expensive
clothes. That caused discomfort on me.
For lucky,
had passed four years and I don’t feel discomfort, and now I love to guys and
partners from my university.
Cheers.
