Full video available at www.amazon.com. This video is about cross-cultural adaptation and culture shock. Foreign students share their perceptions of their experiences in the US as each of them (plus one specialist in cross-cultural relations and a few American Students) is interviewed about living and studying in a new culture. The focus is on the arrival and immediate postarrival period and the culture shock which, for most of the interviewees, follows on its heels. It becomes clear that central to the problems encountered are major differences in values and behaviors between the foreign students and the Americans they meet. The documentary covers a range of basic characteristics of American culture: openness/directness, privacy, attitudes toward time, friendship patterns, informality, and competitiveness. Culture Shock is an excellent resource for any program wishing to help its participants better understand the cross-cultural adjustment process and the experience of being a foreigner in the United States. Useful in foreign student, refugee, and teaching assistant orientation programs; briefings for Americans dealing with foreign students; and orientation for exchange students.

American people or Americans are a nation and denizens of the United States. The United States is a multi-ethnic nation, home to people of different ethnic and national backgrounds. As a result, some Americans don't take their nationality as an ethnicity, but identify themselves with both their nationality and their ancestral origins. Aside from the indigenous Native American population, nearly all Americans or their ancestors immigrated within the past five centuries. Due to the multi-ethnic composition, the United States is a multicultural nation, home to a wide variety of traditions and values. The culture held in common by most Americans is referred to as mainstream American culture, a Western culture largely derived from the traditions of Western European migrants, beginning with the early English and Dutch settlers. German and Irish cultures have also been very influential. Certain cultural attributes of Igbo, Mandé, Kongo and Wolof slaves from West Africa were adopted by the American mainstream; based more on the traditions of Central African Bantu slaves, a distinct African American culture developed that would also deeply affect the mainstream. Westward expansion integrated the Creoles and Cajuns of Louisiana and the Hispanos of the Southwest and brought close contact with the culture of Mexico. Large-scale immigration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries from Southern and Eastern Europe introduced many new cultural elements. More recent <b>...</b>

anti-intellectualism is not only tolerated but celebrated in parts of American society. Charles P. Pierce: The leaders of Idiot America are those people who abandoned their obligations to the above. There are lots of people making an awful lot of money selling their ideas and their wares to Idiot America. Idiot America is an act of collective will, a product of lassitude and sloth. Question: What is the difference between stupidity and glorifying ignorance? Charles P. Pierce: Stupidity is as stupidity does, to quote a uniquely stupid movie. It has been with us always and always will be. But we moved into an era in which stupidity was celebrated if it managed to sell itself well, if it succeeded, if it made people money. That is "glorifying ignorance." We moved into an era in which the reflexive instincts of the Gut were celebrated at the expense of reasoned, informed opinion. To this day, we have a political party—the Republicans—who, because it embraced a "movement of Conservatism" that celebrated anti-intellectualism is now incapable of conducting itself in any other way. That has profound political and cultural consequences, and the truly foul part about it was that so many people engaged in it knowing full well they were peddling poison.

"If first generation Korean-Americans formed communities in order to help one another survive with their poor English skills, second generation Korean-Americans have come together to 'prosper'." Having been born and raise in the United States, second generation Korean-Americans have naturally absorbed and internalized American culture. However, they have also been influenced by their parents to experience and absorb Korean culture as well. How can we define this unique hybrid culture? Second generation Korean-Americans have formed 'fenced communities' in order to share and celebrate the unique culture they have created for themselves. What do they find inside these fenced communities and what kind of culture are they creating? In this episode, we explore various social communities that second generation Korean-Americans have established. Among the most well-known communities are 'NetKal' - a community of second generation Korean-American leaders who have achieved success in American society, 'IAMKOREANAMERICAN' - a website on which Korean-Americans from across the United States come together to share their life stories, and 'Kollaboration' - an organization dedicated to bringing the Asian-American talents into the mainstream entertainment industry

"Yaddo - Making American Culture," an exhibition at The New York Public Library on view October 24, 2008 through February 15, 2009, explores the role of Yaddo, the artists retreat, in fostering 20th-century American arts and letters. Founded in 1900 by financier and philanthropist Spencer Trask and his wife, Katrina Trask, Yaddo began receiving guests in 1926 and was immediately hailed by The New York Times as a new and unique experiment, which has no exact parallel in the world of fine arts. Since that inaugural season, Yaddo has navigated the roiled cultural and political life of 20th-century America while hosting thousands of artists and writers, including such luminaries as James Baldwin, Saul Bellow, Flannery OConnor, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Truman Capote, Jacob Lawrence, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Philip Guston and Sylvia Plath.

PLEASE COMMENT, SUBSCRIBE & FRIEND ME, THANKS! If you are wondering how our wonderful king and savior is going to pay for all of these wonderful social programs and bailouts, just Ask A Reformed Socialist: its pretty simple: First soak the rich, then soak businesses (which we all know is simply additional tax on people since businesses simply pass their costs on down to the consumers), then when thats not enough, initiate a federal sales tax. If we are going to be like any other socialist country, we'd better get cracking on a federal sales tax, I mean Canada, Australia and the UK all have one - maybe we should. Of course you are saying - how is that possible? Won't that mean taxing the poor as well? Sure, but they can get tax refunds. Not the rest of us though. Next after that is the mortgage interest deduction. That first will be gone for high earners, then slowly disappear for everyone. Obama doesn't want you in a house, he doesnt want you anything but dependent on the government for everything. Right now, we are not as dependent on the government as they are in these other countries. Obama and his Axis of Evil are working hard to destroy the rugged American individualism that made this country great. How does this work? Make the Kool-Aid sweeter and sweeter so that more and more people drink it, and in the end if you don't drink it, you will be forced to at the point of a gun. And then you won't be able to fight back as the government will have all the guns. The <b>...</b>

Dr. Kevin MacDonald discusses how Jewish-influenced cultural changes since the 1960s have modified sexual values and reproduction patterns, leading to greater expression of destructive genetic traits in Western society. He finds that Jewish group evolutionary strategies, such as unrestricted immigration, neoconservatism, multiculturalism, Zionism, financial and media control, and attempts at outlawing expression as "hate speech," could lead to the end of white people in America. Kevin MacDonald, PhD, is Professor of Psychology at California State University, Long Beach. From director James Williams ( youtube.com ): "If you appreciate our work or want to see more films of Dr. Kevin MacDonald and others who fight for reason, science, and the preservation of Western culture, please donate via PayPal."

American Culture Eulogy. Hope for non destruction. Globalization as an economic model has a root base for cheap energy. We are at the peak in oil production. Agriculture is unsustainable. Our population catches up with our food production. We are overpopulated. Everything else is crowded out. Petrol is embedded in our food supply. Cities rely on imports because its population exceeds its production. Your average supermarket food has traveled about 3000 miles to arrive there. An end to cheap energy will end it in a heart beat. Carbon is being absorbed into the oceans, making it harder for plankton to grow. Plankton are the bottom of the food chain and produce half of the air we breathe.

After paying homage to Edward Said's stressing imperialism as central to our culture Chomsky builds his case with telling quotes of American leaders rationalizing and denying extermination of Native Americans on through US terrorism in Latin and South America, like in Chile, Brazil, El Salvador, Panama, Nicaragua, and the Middle East.

More at www.newdream.org Produced by the Center for a New American Dream Psychologist Tim Kasser discusses how America's culture of consumerism undermines our well-being. When people buy into the ever-present marketing messages that "the good life" is "the goods life," they not only use up Earth's limited resources, but they are less happy and less inclined toward helping others. The animation both lays out the problems of excess materialism and points toward solutions that promise a healthier, more just, and more sustainable life.

The concept "dumbing down" can point to a variety of different things but the concept always involves a claim about the simplification of culture, education, and thought, a decline in creativity and innovation, a degradation of artistic, cultural, and intellectual standards, or the undermining of the very idea of a standard, and the trivialisation of cultural, artistic, and academic creations. The term can be seen as subjective since what is labeled as "dumbed down" often depends upon the values of individuals of specific groups. Pierre Bourdieu discusses how the practices of dominant groups in society are legitimised to the disadvantage of subordinate groups. However, there is also evidence that knowledge of areas outside that defined by popular culture has diminished progressively in the late twentieth century

The younger generation of the Arab world today is struggling to find an identity in a world that is changing very radically. Modern technology and globalization have made the world a much smaller place and caused us to be more interconnected as people, yet cultural misconceptions persist. Just Like Us documents four countries of the Middle East, showcasing the cultures of Dubai, Lebanon, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Egypt with sold out crowds totaling over 20000 people. This perspective reveals a modern generation coming of age through a celebration of culture through comedy. The art of stand-up comedy is very new to the Middle East and older generations did not have the opportunity to appreciate this creative platform. However, through the current Internet age stand-up comedy has flourished in the Arab region over the past few years. Comedian Ahmed Ahmed laid a foundation for comedy in the Middle East and took the world by surprise with his honest and unyielding commentary on what it's like being an Arab living in America. Contemporary stand-up comedy quickly rooted itself in the region and demand for it grew. Ahmed Ahmed continues to be an ambassador by visiting the region, and with this documentary he travels with a host of critically acclaimed international stand-up comedians. Presented by Cross Cultural Entertainment and Cross Cultural Productions, Just Like Us exemplifies their goal of reintroducing socially relevant issues to the world in an effort to build <b>...</b>
