God Grew Tired of Us

Progressively through the last few weeks in sociology, my class has been learning about Culture Shock. As I had already defined in my last post, culture shock describes how you do things in one particular country could be looked at as surreal in another country. This week we had watched the documentary God Grew Tired of Us, which is about a several Sudanese adolescents & children who were forced to leave there country due to war. through funding, many of the Sudanese get the opportunity to move to the united states. The documentary displays what it is like for these newcomers & how much culture shock affects them. One of the Lost Boys as they are formally named, even stated that he can not wait to see what electricity is like. It is truly a remarkable film. The documentary gives you an in depth understanding of culture shock and how it effects people who have never experience America.
