Culture shock is a common occurrence with a defined process. The length of the process and the depth of the rough at the bottom of the V depends upon whether you know about it, have strategies for managing it, and are flexible. It will happen each time you are transferred to a new location because each location is different. However, you now have some strategies for dealing with it. However, do remember that returning home will bring another V-curve because home is not the same as when you left and neither are you.

The book is called Global Perspectives and is available for $4.99 US dollars on Amazon Books and Apple Books. Please send any feedback to info@globalcollaborations.com.
