Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venezuela, one of the least-known countries in Latin America, is brilliantly spotlighted in Culture and Customs of Venezuela. This oil-rich nation sustained a stable democracy until the economic downturn in the 1980s, and changes in the social and political spheres will bring the country under increasing scrutiny from the outside world. Dinneen captures the sharp contrasts and immense variety of modern Venezuela. Students and interested readers will find engaging and authoritative overviews of the land, people, and history; religions; social customs; media; cinema; literature; performing arts; and art and architecture. This work successfully portrays the country's cultural richness and diversity. Influences from the United States are inescapable, especially in Caracas, but many distinctive traditions are continued throughout the country, varying from region to region. Religious rituals and numerous festivals that take place in towns and villages and the vibrant music scene, all major expressions of the nation's social and cultural life, are just some of the highlights found herein. Numerous photos give witness to Venezuela's diverse culture and a chronology, and glossary supplement the text.
Download or read book The Five Stages of Culture Shock written by Paul Pedersen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1994-12-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The educational literature suggests that international contact contributes to a comprehensive educational experience. The Five Stages of Culture Shock examines an international shipboard educational program and seeks to identify specific insights resulting from informal extracurricular contact between students and host nationals in the context of culture shock experiences. Using the critical incident methodology, Pedersen analyzes students' responses to nearly 300 specific incidents which resulted in insights that apply to the students' own development, as well as the sociocultural context of the host countries. This use of critical incidents shows one way to evaluate and assess the subjective experiences of the informal curriculum. More broadly, the analysis sheds light on the concept of culture shock as a psychological construct.

Book excerpt: Crossing cultures can be a stimulating and rewarding adventure. It can also be a stressful and bewildering experience.

The book describes the ABCs of intercultural encounters, highlighting Affective, Behavioural and Cognitive components of cross-cultural experience. It incorporates both theoretical and applied perspectives on culture shock and a comprehensive review of empirical research on a variety of cross-cultural travellers, such as tourists, students, business travellers, immigrants and refugees.

Download or read book Culture Shock Life under a Dictator written by Caroline Buntz and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-11-17 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culture Shock is about a Southern girl, who goes really deep south to Argentina and experiences Peron, the death of Evita, the Peronistas, and living next to the notorious Adolph Eichmann. In 1951, Peron (the dictator of Argentina) allowed Nazis to escape from Europe to Argentina with perfect sanctuary. America wasn't sure if Hitler really died in the bunker or not (forensics weren't that good back then), so they watched to see what Nazis came through Argentina. It wasn't until YEARS later when Caroline's daughter was working on a project for the Naval Oceanographic and Meteorological Command at the Stennis Space Center in Mississippi that she learned that her husband's position at the embassy in 1951 in Buenos Aires was pre-CIA. This gave her an explanation as to why she and her husband were sent to live in a German boarding house that was full of Nazi/Gestapo officers and run by a German Contessa. The icing on the cake was that Adolph Eichmann lived in the room next to them.
