Assimilation: The Drawbacks of Cross-Cultural Misunderstandings

The author of this book says, "The spirit captures you and your fall: a child of the Hmong, her American doctor, and a collision between the two." Anne Fadiman shows a collision between two cultures and things I will. A story that affects people's way of living. It turns out that the leading character 's rear is involved in a dilemma between family culture and American lifestyle. Lia has a seizure since the baby was born and is considered a positive feature of the Miao community; a person with a seizure is considered a twin, a person with a "therapeutic spirit" (Fadiman 21).

"... Collapse is a classic study of cross-cultural misunderstandings and the impact it has on other aspects of mankind.The extreme cultures and civilizations derived from pure arrogance and ethnocentrism are themselves (Emenyonu, 84) Although Umofia has no king or chief, it points out that there is a very democratic and efficient government, this is something the intruder has not seen before; The sensitivity of the West is that every country needs a leader and at least one person is responsible for and prevention of anarchic conditions.The court used white justice: Whiplash or hanging: Umofian's Both are meaningless atrocities in the eyes, the main reason for cultural confrontation is the lack of social interaction and cultural understanding: "History does not treat the whole world in the same way. A special situation like we are Africans The thing foolish not to recognize that there "(Jussawalla, 76)

Intercultural misunderstandings arise when people of different cultures communicate or interact with one another. People from one culture act according to their norms and values, but other cultures do not understand how it is communicated and there may be different interpretations depending on cultural differences. Cultural misunderstanding also occurs when words, gestures, or social contexts have different meanings in different cultures. In this case, I pay particular attention to Thai culture. I believe that people traveling to other countries have a basic understanding of what they can accept and what they will disapprove. I am not saying or expecting people to behave like Thai people, so pay attention to what Thai situation is like.
