A Brief Study of Culture shockfrom some episodes of Tom and Jerry
1. Introduction:
The aim of this thesis is analyze the emergence, influence and some
countermeasures of culture shock which is bad on some episodes of Tom
and Jerry.
Culture shock is a common phenomenon in our daily life. It occurs
when the new culture has different rules from our won and we can’t act
appropriately in new environment and others do not act as we expect them.
The usual word “shock” is a medical physiological respon, but culture
shock can produce both psychological and physiological effects. It is not a
simple cultural conflict and also a shock of simple pathology. Of cour,
whether the culture shock could be overcome in advance? Are there any
ways to overcome it when you have a culture shock? After having a brief
knowing about culture shock ,there are some question still need to be
resolved. Especially in China,a multi-ethnic country with the unbalanced
development of domestic region, national culture and economic. And the
cultural custom also has great difference. At the same time ,with the
modernization of the economic construction and the opening of the outside
world ,the interaction of the foreign culture is increasingly prominent. We
need understand and treat culture shock more correctly .

This thesis is compod of four chapters. Firstly, with the extraction of
Tom and Jerry,we make a easy understanding of the phenomenon of cultural
shock. And then know its production conditions. What’s more, recognize the
impact on the individual. Finally, make a positive respon for culture
shock.
2. Discussion
Culture shock is an experience a person may have when one live or
learn a non ethnic cultural environment. Under the cultural conflicts and
unadaption people would creep up a feeling of frustration, uneasiness,
uncertainty and so on. It does not refer to clinical pathological shock caud
by dia. It is also the personal disorientation a person may feel when
experiencing an unfamiliar way of life due to immigration or a visit to a new
country,a move between social environments, or simply transition to another
type of the word "shock" originally refers to the loss of important
functions of the human body, such as excessive loss of blood, respiratory
and circulatory failure. However, when a person who has lived in his own
culture for a long time suddenly comes to another completely different new
cultural environment, the phenomenon of cultural shock often occurs for a
period of time. In the cartoon, there are a great number of phenomenon
show when you expo yourlf in a new cultural background, you would
feel jiaolu first. That’s why when the three little cats came to Tom’s
hou,they were frightened and frustrated.

If you get unhappy, confud and upt when you are traveling or
planing to abroad to study even to immigrate, you would have been
experiencing the culture shock. The psychological reactions could cau
some physiological dysfunction involving mass discharges of the
sympathetic nervous system, impairment of the functioning of the immune
system, and increas susceptibility to all dias. In the sixty-fifth episode
of Tom and Jerry,which named the mou of Manhattan. It could be found
that Jerry is a rural mou who was come form countryside and wanted to
travel the modern city far away. However, the high building and the busy
traffic system made him nervous, anxious, even fear. He had to drill into a
wer to avoid the new environment. The dark and damp around him
enhanced his psychological feeling, and his heart began to thump fast the
sweat had sprung out all over his body. After he hardly adjusted his state,
and put on the gentleman's hat which was thought the city symbolize by
himlf, again there was a more trouble to face him. The beautiful lady he
met on the white table was just a doll, but he emed to fall in love with the
little thing that would say a fixed greeting, but no life at all.
The psychological reactions and physiological symptoms of cultural
shock are slowly debilitating, sick and even "shock." So we need to find
some ways to prevent cultural shock. At the same time, do some rearch
about how to actively deal with the impact of cultural shock if it happened
on us. When we know in advance where we are going to live in for some
3
time with a different cultural environment, the first thing is to understand the
other person's culture. The library or the travel guide is a good choice. If
someone should in the new context for a longer time, they should take
some special lessons of the local customs and other relevant cours. Talk
with tho who had gone to study and live in this same cultural environment,
and ask for some experiences. In short, as much as possible prepared what
you feel completely before departure. For example, in order to fly to the
south, ducklings, the character of Tom and Jerry, had read a lot of
newspapers and books, did a lot of test flights, and even made some
simulation scenes, which were all very good preparations. But even if you
are ready to do it, you may be attacked by a culture shock. Becau we grow
up in our own cultural environment, if our religious beliefs, values, lifestyle
in the foreign cultural environment, it is easy to feel uncomfortable. The
reasons for Geographical surrounding, people's habits, the contrast of lively
and cold ,and including the convenience of life, public facilities, road
construction will make people have a strong n of adaptation. As the
mou Jerry went to Manhattan,with the art of sculptures en everywhere,
everywhere would hit roadblock which unlike the country grassland plains.
He came into one of the doors or hous, there was no longer the familiar
Tom and duckling, but some very different man.
After understand the manifestation and caus of culture shock, we can
find some countermeasures.

1. The lost of personal identify from national cultural environment. The
first thing to realize any vital cultural transformation could produce stress
and anxiety is huge, but the pressure and anxiety is a normal social
adaptability. This require not only a person's lf-esteem, sincerity and
confidence, but also the need to keep a good lf-image and rebuild the
personal and cultural needs. Although we could not stop the occurrence of
"culture shock", but at least we could reduced the pressure. In a n, this is
regarded as a new cultural experience and psychological feelings.
2. If the values produce contradictions and conflicts, we should be
aware that the values of the differences is often the potential, it is not easy to
detect, but it is an insurmountable obstacle. Intercultural communication
generally do not advocate completely or completely according to the
localization of exotic native customs act. Only as far as possible understand
each other in a communication, as consistent as possible in terms of
understanding and dealing with the problem. In order to achieve better
cooperation with each other.
3. If the way of life and habits are uncomfortable, it is more simple to
solve. As time goes by, people would gradually adapt. And. With the
globalization of economy and the increasing convenience of transportation,
people have found that in almost any corner of the world, we can also eat,
dress, live in the way we like.
4. Conclusion
5
It can be en from the analysis that the origin of culture shock is
rooted in the deep original cultural pattern. When a person faces the new
cultural form, it would surely produce cultural shock, if he or she judge the
new culture with his or her own cultural action and rules. Moreover the
social environment show a huge different from each other. As a deep and
wide reflection and supporting of culture, social environment add greatly to
the stress. Becau culture can be learned but social environment can’t be
copied .
Of cour, culture shock is not a dia, but a process of learning. It is
a complicated personal experience. Although it might produce some
uncomfortable and even painful feeling, but it is not in the same way
influence all the people, even for the same person also has a different effect
on in different periods of the same environment. Therefore, for tho who
would be or have been in different cultures in the area of people, since the
social environment is the individual can’t change, you should learn the
culture of lf adjustment.
