Today, I
will write about cultural shock
Every day
we live with people different from ourselves. This is already part of a culture
shock as each person has a different culture. This concept, always linked to
the countries, but within a country, a city and even a family are different
cultures.
For my
future profession I had many experiences of culture shock. My greatest
experience was in a school located in Santiago Centro commune, its name is
Republica de Alemania. In this school, there are children of different
nationalities: Peruvians, Colombians, Bolivians, Ecuadorians, Haitians and
Chileans, with 50% of foreign students enrolled.
In this school I was specifically with
children in 1st grade, the ambient was a lot of violence and constant jokes
about the color of skin and / or nationality, finishing on occasion in blows.
So in this
context was very marked difference of cultures, having to work on the contrary,
for example, the similarities between us, that we all have feelings and deserve
respect and affection.
In this
experience I felt fruitless because I didn’t know what to do to help the
children, to avoid the cultural shock
