[06:07.85]You begin to see that even though the distinctions of the culture
[06:13.72]are different from your own,
[06:17.68]it has elements that you can learn to appreciate.
[06:23.11]The last stage of culture shock is called “adjustment.”
[06:28.87]In this stage,you have reached a point where you actually feel good
[06:34.96]because you have learned enough to understand the new culture.
[06:40.21]The things that initially made you feel uncomfortable or strange
[06:46.19]are now things that you understand.
[06:50.65]This acquisition of understanding alleviates much of the stress.
[06:57.67]Now you feel comfortable;you have adjusted to the new culture.
[07:03.83]Evidently,
[07:07.00]culture shock is something you cannot avoid when living in a foreign country.
[07:14.05]It does not seem like a very helpful experience
[07:19.60]when you are going through its four stages.
[07:23.84]However,when you have completely adjusted to a new culture
[07:30.50]you can more fully enjoy it.
[07:34.57]You learn how to interact with other people,
[07:39.11]and you learn a considerable amount about life in a culture that is not your own.
[07:46.56]Furthermore,
[07:49.40]learning about other cultures and how to adjust to the shock of living in them
[07:56.24]helps you learn more.
