Culture Shock

This week in class we learned about the different cultures from some different countries, and how we all have a culture shock when going into a new country: and realizing that things may be different than what you are used too. When we read about the woman from Holland, that really made me realize that different countries sometimes have completely different norms than what I am used to. I never realized that there are so many different norms around the world. Even the smallest things for example, when we watched the video of how people I'm India cross the street. It looked very disorganized but to them that is normal. Seeing all if the different norms kind of opened my eyes  of how there are different ways to do things than the way the United States does. What I consider normal could be weird to someone somewhere else. I think that people do not treacly realize how different other countries are. I admit that seeing these different norms, I couldn't really see how they are right. Reading the article on the last from holland, I don't think that I could have cultural relativity. Even thigh that is Nola in her country, I still feel that that is just not tight. However, learning these different norms has opened my eyes.
