Culture Shock - What is culture shock? How does culture shock work? 

This video covers the following information and ideas about culture shock:
-Culture is like an iceberg with visible and invisible dimensions.
-Culture shock happens when two "culture icebergs" collide and we feel confused, shocked, surprised, irritated...
-We can learn from a very common culture shock between US culture and Japanese culture.
-The key is to talk about culture shock and the culture iceberg helps us do that.
NOTE: This video is a culture shock resource for anyone and all ages, even though it was created with foreign exchange students and host families in mind. The same concepts apply in the workplace, in schools, on the internet and anywhere that people of two or more cultures come together and surprise or shock each other.
