Surviving Cultural Shock Is Key to Working Abroad
Contrary to what you may think, the hardest part of living abroad isn’t finding a place to stay or learning the language. It’s how to cope with the cultural shock. Cultural shock does not happen as a series of random events. It usually evolved over a series of five stages.
Stage 1: The Honeymoon
The first couple of months of living abroad are typically a honeymoon period when everything is new, exciting, and fascinating. Everything seems to happen like a dream and you are happy to have made the decision to work abroad. But as everyone knows, no honeymoon lasts forever.
Stage 2: The Rejection
Soon enough, the sheen rubs off the new, exciting, and fascinating experiences and you have to come back down from the clouds and actually live and work in this place. Suddenly you’ll start to discover that your ways of doing things—professionally and otherwise—just don’t work in the new environment. Stores aren’t open when you need them and leisure time is frustrating because the television programs and the films are dubbed in another language. As your troubles add up and no one wants to lend you a hand to help, you start thinking the locals are either incapable of understanding your problems or just don’t care. This in turn triggers the emotion that is one of the surest signs of culture shock: hostility to the new environment. You begin to hate your host country and everything connected with it.
Stage 3: The Regression
Once you start rejecting your host culture, it’s much harder to recast your attitude. You can either decide to try again — approach everything again with a smile on your face and change your attitude — or you can take the easy road and just withdraw further into your shell. In the latter case, the signs for failure in the new locale are pretty clear: You refuse to continue learning the local language, make friends among the locals, or take any interest in the local culture. And worst of all, you begin to believe that people are out to swindle you just because you are a foreigner. Following this path will inevitably increase your isolation because people will sense the antagonism and begin to avoid you.
Stage 4: The Acceptance
If you can make it through stage 3, the road to getting over cultural shock typically gets smoother. One day, you’ll find yourself beginning to smile or even laugh at some of the things that caused you so much grief at the start. When this happens, you are on the road to recovery. As you begin to become more comfortable with the local language and customs, your self-esteem and self-confidence will return. Your affection for your new home will grow from reluctant acceptance to genuine fondness. You’ll finally understand that it’s not a matter of whether here is better than there: There are different ways to live your life and no way is really better than another.
Stage 5: The Re-entry
Many times, it’s just about the time where things begin to jell that you may realize that your assignment is ending and the time has come to pack up and return home. Most start thinking about how nice it will be to return to familiar surroundings, back to friends and family and all the things you love and cherish. But the re-entry can be much harder than most realize. When you slowly forced yourself to like and love your new home abroad, you probably had to gradually deconstruct your long-held beliefs to make room for new values and ways of life. You adopted new habits and a new lifestyle and it can be difficult to go back to your old life. It will also take you quite some time to reacquaint yourself with your home culture.
That is the end of Part 2. You now have 20 seconds to copy your answers on the Answer Sheet.
