Write a paper with at least 350 words (include a word count at the top of your page) reflecting your thinking about the concept of Coping With Culture Shock as introduced in the readings and as discussed in class.
Remember, your Reflection Paper should not simply be a summary of the information from the chapter we covered in class! To maximize your chance to earn full points for the assignment, you should focus on how the topic we discussed this week affected you.
Some options for how to approach the Reflection Paper:
(1) You can present an argument where you agree or disagree with part or all of the topic and explain why. Have you ever experienced culture shock? What does think week’s topic make you feel about how other people might be dealing with culture shock in your own culture? You can talk about this as well.
(2) You can reflect on how the topic has affected your life through telling a story about you, a member of your family, or a friend that experienced something relating to culture shock.
(3) Because this week’s class involved a special in-class activity, you may choose to write about your experiences during the activity.
If you use or copy any ideas that are not your own to help support your writing, be sure to summarize that person’s ideas or put their exact words in quotation marks and use an APA in-text citation. On a second sheet at the end of your reflection paper, called “References,” add an APA reference for your source. If you are unsure how this should look, see the Weekly Reflection Example Paper. NOTE: You are not required to use outside sources. In fact, it is preferable for you to focus on your own experiences and stories and not need outside references at all!
