Now most people go through this stage to some extent. And how deal with this stage is really important. Because it’s a challenge, and you just have to accept it and work through it. Unfortunately, a lot of people move into a third stage form here, a kind of a superiority phase. That’s when you start feeling superior to the new culture. You tend to get together with friends from your home culture and complain about the country you’re in. Everything about the new place is bad; everything about the old place is good. You’re romanticizing your own country or your own culture (103 words)

The first stage is often called the honeymoon period: it’s kind of a euphoric stage. When you first arrive...hey, new country! Everything is exotic and exciting. You notice all the differences, and you delight in them, like a tourist. If you have friends there, they may go out of their way to make you feel at home. They treat you like a special guest, and it’s a very positive experience. Maybe you have a few problems, but they don’t bother you that much. It’s all fun. It’s all part of the new experience.
But honeymoons don’t last forever. And if you’re (101 words)

Today, I'm going to talk a little about culture shock, and what I mean by that is the kind of psychological problems a person may have while living in a different culture. ..someone who moves to a different culture, in paticular, and the new culture doesn't have to be all that different, problems can happen between people who came from similar cultures or who speak the same language: the United States and Britain, for example. So anyway, we'll discuss some strategies for dealing with it. First of all, the expression "culture shock" was invented in 1954 by an American anthropologist (100 words)

Frabtically, I asked a passerby the time. "9:45" came the answer. No, that couldn't be. I asked someone else. "9:55." Another squinted down at his watch and called out proudly, "Exactly 9:43." The clock in a nearby office read 3:15. I had received my first two lessons about time and punctuality. Brazilian timepieces are consistently inaccurate, and nobody seemed to mind but me. My class was scheduled from 10 until noon. Many (72 words)

I had just begun an appointment as a visiting professor of psychology at a university in Brazil, near Rio de Janeiro. I arrived anxious to observe just what characteristics of this alien culture would require the greatest readjustment from me. From my past travel experiences, I anticipated difficulties with such issues as language and privacy. But these turned out to be a piece of cake compared to the distress that Brazilians' ideas of (73 words)

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to million of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free, One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is

I come to this university by train everyday. I study in the library everyday. I’m third grade. This university’s campus is very small. There is a convinience store. I often use a smoking area. I come to this university by a car, but parking area is often close.

Suppose you have a part-time job with your college’s Cooperative Education Office. You’re familiar with its general goals and the programs, and you have sufficient personal interest to speak about these to other campus group. What you have discovered about different audiences should help you determine appropriate specific purpose for each. If you were to talk to a group of incoming first-year students at new student orientation, for example, you would know these things beforehand.(75 words)

What is the nature and purpose of the occasion? Make sure the subject and purpose of your speech relate to the purpose of the meeting. If your speech is part of a series of will follow other’s speeches, find out the other speakers’ approaches and decide how you will distinguish yours.

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have cone from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South C(90 words)

We cannot be satisfied as long as the negro’s basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as song as our children are stripped of their self-hood and robbed of their dignity by a sign stating: “For Whites Only.” We cannot be satisfied as long as Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until “justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.”(97 words)

But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical force with soul force.(88 words)

It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until(85 words)

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we’ve come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

I address you with neither rancor nor bitterness in the fading twilight of life, with but one purpose in mind: to serve my country. The issues are global and so interlocked that to consider the problems of one sector, ovlivous to those of another, is but to court disaster for the whole. While Asia is commonly referred to as the Gateway to Europe, it is no less true that impact upon the other. There are those who claim our strength is inadequate to protect on both fronts, (87 words)
