● Assume that you have been selected to study a semester in India.

Prepare a list of types of cultural shock you would expect to encounter.

1- The shape of the bathrooms, because I understand that the bathrooms there are
holes in the floor different from the west.

2-The food in India is usually very spicy for the same reason, I think that if you are
not used to it, it can make you sick.

3-They are polytheists and have temples dedicated to animals, I think this would be
a shock because in the West most people are monotheists.

4-The infrastructure of India such as roads and highways is of poor quality, travel
between cities is probably not as pleasant.

5-They serve the cow so they don't eat it, this would represent a great shock
because in my country beef is very, very usual.

● Would this list change if you are a male (or female)

Not really not.

● Do you think it will be a huge impact with religion?

The reality is that if, because the Hindus are polytheists, they have different gods,
some are animals, others are strange creatures, in this sense our religious beliefs
are totally opposite because in the West the majority of the population is
monotheistic.
