1. What are the similarities or the differences between Ethnocentrism and Cultural Relativism? 
2. Please give three examples of cultural shocks!

Answers; 

1. Answer: for the most part, there is very little there is similar between these ideas. The only major similarity they share is the fact that they are both meant as ways to evaluate and judge culture.  
2. I've got the idea about cultural shocks. First when we (as an Asian) come to any western country, we might probably get cultural shocks because the culture in Asia and American or even Europe is completely different. For example, in America we often see people kiss in everywhere, perhaps it has been common for American but for us, it is quite awkward to see somebody else kiss in Public Square. I've ever seen in film when American visit China, as an American – he got cultural shock when saw some vendors street selling insets as a food. It’s not quite like that, even the insects are still alive and he got shock seeing this case – then probably it could be one of the cultural shocks. I've also ever watched a program on a television; it was showing a place in Indonesia (I don’t quite remember where it is exactly) but in that show, presenting a tribe where they usually get their finger cut off when one of their children died. Well it means if there’s one of their children passed away, they should cut on of their finger. I heard it is a represented as a sorrow and sadness.
