Culture Shock

Yes I do agree with Ruth Benedict's statement that we are "creatures of our culture" and when I say we, it is a global statement. Anywhere you go across the world it is a culture shock. It is very different from the way you live. An example is going from California, or anywhere in the United States, to Hawaii. Everything there is very laid back in a sense. Going to McDonalds here is very speedy and that is there main goal, whereas in Hawaii, it will take more than an hour to get your food. It is just their culture there, to not care about much. Same goes for any other country as well, like Europe and the United States and the coffee scene. One way to break the “habit” of our culture is for everyone to be independent. Everyone sort of has to do their own thing and not follow other people. However that is hard because there are so many people.
