Most commonly cultural shock is associated with travel from one national culture to another national culture. It may be experienced, however, in moving from one sub-culture within a nation to another sub-culture within the same nation. Our schools define sub-cultures. Various schools operate with different unexamined assumptions and self- images. Thus individuals who make a transition from one school to another may experience cultural shock. To some extent we are made aware of this reality as students move between school systems which are operated in terms of differing philosophies of education. Schools for different age level students define subcultures. There is relatively little inter-cultural exchange on the part of those who define the nature of these different sub-cultures; teachers and administrators are immersed almost exclusively within our "elementary school", "intermediate level", "secondary school", "collegiate", or "graduate school" orientation. It is they who play a determinative role in creating the character of the sub-culture. The students are required to move monotonically from one sub-culture to another as they grow older. They are required to experience instances of cultural shock which their teachers do not experience with them. When a member of one culture enters another culture, communication is difficult, even if the same words are used within both cultures. If the individuals associated with the differing cultures are unaware of the character of each other's culture, then communication is often confused without self and other being aware of the confusion---except as an un-articulatable frustration. College and university science instructors might helpfully consider the cultural shock experience by each year's group of new adolescents, who, while seeking to develop their own identity, experience the cultural shock of moving from innovative humane secondary schools into insensitive intellectual factories concerned primarily with reproducing knowledge so as to maintain the information explosion.
