Culture Shock 101

These are two videos that my Critical Thinking class watched last semester when we discussed cultural differences.  They're presented as part of the orientation for international students at the Columbia School of Business.  The videos are presented by an Israeli who attended the school and its interesting to hear the accounts of culture shock he faced when moving to the Big Apple.  My students also enjoyed his perspective on the American culture.  These videos definitely caused me to reflect on what to expect in regards to culture shock after our move to Shanghai.
