Any topic (writer’s choice)

Watch the movie Outsourced (the 2006 film, not the tv series) and answer the questions below. It is available free if you have Amazon Prime, or free on Youtube here (youll have to put up with English subtitles). I love this movie because its about culture shock, contrasts between Individualistic/Collectivistic culture, High/Low Power Distance, some uncertainty avoidance, verbal and nonverbal communication patterns, Dos and Donts, etc. All kinds of stuff. Every time I watch it, I notice something else. Plus, its a funny and touching movie.

Heres what to do:
1. Read the questions below
2. Watch the movie
3. Answer the questions below. You can download this document and type in your answers like you do in homework, or just respond to this email and add your answers below the questions.

Quickly review the seven phases of culture shock. Describe a scene where Todd demonstrates or finds himself in one of these stages.

Bonus question (this is hard!): There is a picture/murti of a Hindu goddess on the wall of Todds room. Which Goddess is it, and why might that relate to the plot of the movie?
