Beskrivelse af Lights & Shadows
Are you planning to go abroad? Take a long trip or even live overseas for a while? Do you want to understand why people in the other culture behave the way they do? Do you want to prepare yourself to interact with them accordingly?
Whether you live, have lived or might want to live abroad in the future, Lights & Shadows will help you:
Anticipate difficulties and avoid certain pitfallsUnderstand how your own culture influences youSee your home country through the eyes of another cultureRecognize whether you are a good fit for your destination
Lights & Shadows is not about different food habits or shaking hands for a greeting. Instead you'll find out how people think and relate differently. Let yourself be inspired. Culture is like an iceberg--discover the part below the surface.
In Lights & Shadows American, German and Chinese expats share their experiences of living as foreigners in one of these three cultures. Their candid observations and opinions will challenge you to ponder your own values and assumptions.
When I was away from home, I saw the lights of my country. After I came back I became more aware of the shadows. (A.J., a retired German engineer)
