UNIT 2 > Emily Carr > passage
Emily Carr
Not all children who grow up inside a culture are
completely influenced by that culture. Some young people
find that they are more interested in nature or the culture of
other people at a very young age. The most famous painter
in Victoria's history is Emily Carr. She was born in 1871
and, as a child, she discovered that walking in the woods
appealed more to her than playing with other children. She
discovered that she was more interested in roaming the
streets of old Victoria than playing at home with dolls and
spending her time brushing her hair and putting pretty
ribbons in it. Emily was a chubby little girl who spent much
of her childhood in Beacon Hill Park, which was very close
to her family home. Drawing fascinated her, and she also
liked to play with the animals she kept as pets. She had
ducks and chickens, and even domesticated a crow. In later
life, she had several dogs and a pet monkey too! She often
wandered around the streets of Victoria and was particularly
interested in the First Nations people and the Chinese people
she saw in Victoria's Chinatown. Their culture and way of
dressing seemed so distinct from her own. At the age of
sixteen, she began to study drawing seriously. She
eventually travelled to San Francisco and Paris to study art,
but always returned to her beloved forests of the Pacific
Northwest in the Victoria area. As she became a young,
strong and independent woman, Emily began to go on
longer and longer trips into the uncharted forests to paint
and draw what she saw. She loved the free and simple
lifestyle she saw the First Nations people living. In the
summer of 1895, she went on an expedition with two other
women to explore the wilderness along the Cowichan River
that runs through Duncan, just north of Victoria. Some time
later, she travelled up the coast by boat to visit and draw the
native villages along the way. This required great daring and
strength. This wilderness was truly wild; there were no
police or Coast Guard if she got into trouble - and no radio
to call for help. The First Nations people called her "Klee
Wyck", which means "Laughing One", and she knew more
about their lifestyle and the forests of BC than any other
European woman. When you look at her paintings, you can
sense the atmosphere of these dark, mysterious forests. Her
paintings are now very famous and, although the dark
colours may not be attractive to some people, they evoke the
beauty and mystery of the deep woods and the skill of a
great artist. Emily was a very brave and independent
woman. She walked for kilometer after kilometer through
the woods alone, even though she knew that bears, cougars
and wolves might be her only companions.

Culture Shock
You have read about Romulus and Remus whose culture
shock came when they went back to the world of human
beings after being raised by a wolf. Tarzan's culture shock
came when he discovered that he was not a "white ape" but
a human being. Emily Carr preferred the culture of the First
Nations people and the life she led on her explorations to
the dresses and polite conversations of her own culture. You
now know that First Nations culture did not include school
or even business activity, people spent most of their time in
nature or around the fire of their home talking, telling
stories and making the things they needed to survive.
Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that
human beings pass through when they enter and live in a
new culture. This process, which helps us to deal with
culture shock, is the way our brain and our personality
reacts to the strange new things we encounter when we
move from one culture to another. If our culture involves
bowing when we greet someone, we may feel very
uncomfortable in a culture that does not involve bowing. If
the language we use when talking to someone in our own
culture is influenced by levels of formality based on the
other person's age and status, it may be difficult for us to
feel comfortable communicating with people in the new
culture. Culture begins with the "honeymoon stage". This is
the period of time when we first arrive in which everything
about the new culture is strange and exciting. We may be
suffering from "jet lag" but we are thrilled to be in the new
environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and
language, eating new kinds of food. This honeymoon stage
can last for quite a long time because we feel we are
involved in some kind of great adventure. Unfortunately,
the second stage of culture shock can be more difficult.
After we have settled down into our new life, working or
studying, buying groceries, doing laundry, or living with a
home-stay family, we can become very tired and begin to
miss our homeland and our family, girlfriend boyfriend,
pets. All the little problems that everybody in life has seem
to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them
in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can
be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or
pulling away from the new culture. This "rejection stage"
can be quite dangerous because the visitor may develop
unhealthy habits (smoking and drinking too much, being too
concerned over food or contact with people from the new
culture). This can, unfortunately lead to the person getting
sick or developing skin infections or rashes which then
makes the person feel even more scared and confused and
helpless. This stage is considered a crisis in the process of
cultural adjustment and many people choose to go back to
their homeland or spend all their time with people from
their own culture speaking their native language. The third
stage of culture shock is called the "adjustment stage". This
is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the
host culture. Your sense of humour usually becomes
stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by
learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things
are still difficult, but you are now a survivor! The fourth
stage can be called "at ease at last". Now you feel quite
comfortable in your new surroundings. You can cope with
most problems that occur. You may still have problems with
the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal
with them. If you meet someone from your country who has
just arrived, you can be the expert on life in the new culture
and help them to deal with their culture shock. There is a
3 0 w w w .re mz ih o c a .c o m
fifth stage of culture shock which many people don't know
about. This is called "reverse culture shock". Surprisingly,
this occurs when you go back to your native culture and
find that you have changed and that things there have
changed while you have been away. Now you feel a little
uncomfortable back home. Life is a struggle!
1. When does culture shock happen? 4. How could the third stage be described?
2. How do you feel during the first stage of culture shock? 5. How do you feel during the fourth stage of culture shock?
3. How do you feel during the second stage? 6. Why might reverse culture shock be a problem?
