BERNARD WEBER

Entre ce que je pense

ce que je veux dire
ce que je crois dire
ce que je dis
ce que vous voulez entendre
ce que vous entendez
ce que vous croyez
comprendre
ce que vous voulez
comprendre
et ce que vous comprenez
il y a au moins 9 possibilits
de ne pas sentendre.
Zafeiriadou, 2014

Between what I think

what I want to say
what I think I am saying
what I say
what you want to hear
what you hear
what you think you
understand
what you want to
understand
and what you understand
there are at least 9 chances
that we will not understand
each other

a stumbling block or a stepping stone?

Zafeiriadou, 2014

Culture Shock

the innate physiological makeup of the human animal is

such that discomfort of varying degrees occurs in the
presence of alien stimuli. Without the normal props of
one's own culture there is unpredictability, helplessness,
a threat to self-esteem, and a general feeling of "walking
on ice" - all of which are stress producing (Barna, pp.42 43).
