Janice Davis, a marketing representative for a U. S. firm, was looking forward to her assignment in Japan because she had visited the country on one occasion. However, her anticipation quickly turned to frustration. Because all store signs were in Japanese, she didn't know where to buy even a broom. Directions and instructions for using appliances were in Japanese. How could Janice have better prepared herself for the cultural shock she experienced

Janice should have researched and studied the culture and living conditions of Japan before coming to the country. It is their culture to use the Japanese language for signs and instructions

Explanation:

Culture shock occurs when an individual moves to a cultural environment that is different from their own. This results in a disorientation from experiencing unfamiliar way of life.

If adequate preparation is not made before coming into the new environment it will most likely result in frustration as one finds it difficult to fit in.

In this instance Janice should have studied the culture most especially the language before coming into the country. This would have made it easier for her to adapt to their way of life.
