Case Analysis Application of basic knowledge and skills of crossural communication (40 points) Instruction: Read the passage carefully. Then write an analysis about the questions that follow the passage. Your analysis should be no less than 400 words. Note! Both your understanding and application of basic knowledge and skills of crossural communication, and your writing ability, will be assessed in this case analysis. Can A Chinese Young Lady Become An American Woman? Environments significantly influence one's cognition, effect, and behavior. One feels the impact of the different culture especially when one comes into a foreign country. Shen who is from Taiwan, was satisfied for her first twenty years of life because she was surrounded by the people who have loved her and whom she has loved. Her friends used to ask her why she looked very happy all time. Even though her parents limited her behavior or activities because of social bias, she accepted those controls because she understood her parents really loved her. Also, her parents did everything for her, such as taking care of her, cooking for her and making decisions for her. She complied with what her parents expected. She had never left home before she came to America. When she came to America, culture shock obviously influenced her selfept, selfem, and selfentation. In Chinese culture, she was taught to be interdependent. She had to care not only about herself but also about the people who were around her, for example parents, siblings, and friends, even neighbors. However, in American society, she noticed that everyone was very independent, and minded his or her own business, and nobody cared about one another. Because she did not want to get hurt, she knew that she had to make some changes. In her selfept, she changed her interdependent view to an independent view. Using a different language, the major reason for culture shock, really injured her selfem. Shengraduated from a welln university in Taiwan, and she felt proud of that. When she came to America, she was supposed to be good at English, but she was not. After this realization, she tried to study hard in English to match her standards. However, she had studied English for one year, yet she did not improve greatly. She lacked selfidence to speak English, so her selfem decreased. The change in selfept and selfem was reflected in her selfentation. Because Shenwanted to become independent, and she was afraid that she disturbed others with her personal problems, so she began to isolate herself. For English, she did not give up because of her high goal to meet her own and the expectations of others. She tried to avoid talking to her friends who speak the same language though she felt lonesome. She recognized and learned the new cultural rules and expressed it through a different selfentation. The three social selfonents of Shen selfept, selfem, and selfentation were influenced by culture shock. Shentried to be independent, became aware of her selfem, and learned American behavior. Right now, she starts to think about having a pet. Can she become an American woman? After a few years, we will see. Questions to think about when you write your analysis: 1. What culture shock did Shenexperience? 2. What changes took place in her? How could she have avoided or lessened the culture shock? 3. If you were in her situation, what would you have done? What other suggestions will you give her so that she could enjoy more pleasant and more successful crossural experience?(试题分值:40分)
