Hints to adapt to different cultures

Living in Japan, away from the environment that you are most familiar with, is often more challenging and stressful than you expected. Most people will experience some stress as part of this process. Here are some tips about cultural adaptation that will help you to cope with the stress due to cultural differences, and make the most of life and study in Japan.

1. Culture shock
   Although "culture shock" is generally understood as a temporary shock felt when confronted by different cultural customs, ways of thinking and behavior patterns, it actually refers to a psychological state of depression caused by a succession of failure experiences in unfamiliar social situations. Culture shock is temporary and everybody goes through it to some extent in the process of cultural adaptation. General symptoms of culture shock include negative feelings, such as losing self confidence, feeling depressed, attributing all failure to yourself, feeling that nobody understands you, feeling inadequate, etc. Accordingly, you may lose all motivation to talk with Japanese people or to attend classes. Most of these psychological reactions are, again, very natural in the process of cultural adaptation. Please take time to cope with each single event in your life, and you will be able to overcome these emotions sooner or later.
2. Differences in "academic culture"
   It is widely accepted that different values, behavioral and communication patterns exist from culture to culture. However, we often fail to realize that there are also differences in "academic culture", such as the expected roles of academic advisers and students, classroom communication, evaluation criteria, etc. Such differences can also become a major cause of stress. For example, the relationship between academic adviser and advisee is considered particularly important at graduate level education in Japan. Some knowledge of the Japanese academic culture will help you achieve your goal more smoothly.
3. Coping with Stress
   If you feel pressured by stress or lose confidence in your ability to study, you should think about releasing yourself from these negative emotions. Achieving good results in your studies may take a certain amount of time, and ought to be viewed as an accumulative process. Sometimes, you will need to take a break. If you feel tired, do not push yourself too hard and try to enjoy some of your favorite foods, recreation, and physical exercise. It is also recommended that you talk with your friends, academic advisor, or international student advisors / counselors. Moreover, please do not consider the process of cultural adaptation solely as a cause of stress; you can learn tremendously about various cultures, including your own, from this process.
4. Sexual Harassment
   The term "sexual harassment" refers to intentional/unintentional, verbal/nonverbal action or behavior causing distress to, or disadvantaging someone, by offending his or her sexual nature. Sexual harassment is not to be tolerated under any circumstances, and Nagoya University has set up a Harassment Consultation Center to prevent and eliminate its occurrence. Professional counselors deal with inquiries with utmost respect for their clients' feelings and wishes. Where the necessity arises, claims will be referred to the Committee for the Prevention of Sexual Harassment for investigation and arbitration. The Harassment Consultation Center works on issues of any degree of gravity. If you observe someone suffering from any kind of sexual harassment, you may also come and report the case. In addition to the Harassment Consultation Center, each School at Nagoya University has appointed a faculty member as contact person (cf. see below). For English language consultation, you may visit the representative at the Education Center for International Students (ECIS). All consultation will be kept strictly confidential.
