Thanksgiving
A Multicultural Adventure
Part 1
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

There we were, newly married, living thousands of miles from either of our homes, in Durham, NC where he was in medical school. My husband was from Texas, and I was from the North Shore of Chicago.

We came from two different cultures ourselves, and now were together in a new one. It turned out to be culture shock on top of culture shock as we adjusted to each other, and to the cosmopolitan student body at Duke Medical School.

Culture Is Learned

Culture is something we learn. It isn't related to race or ethnicity, religion or anything else, but it pulls from all those groups, and, especially if we've only lived in one place, moved only in one social group, and/or haven't been exposed to other cultures, we tend to think of our own culture as sacred. However, so does the other person!

As we move into an exciting new world of global interaction, there are going to be culture clashes. Let's continue looking at this through my Thanksgiving Tale.

The Players

The first Thanksgiving came around and friends from New England invited us over along with 6 other medical school couples.

Guests included a man from the Dominican Republic married to a woman from Spain; a couple from Missouri; a New York man married to a woman from Brazil; two French Canadians from Quebec; and two Australians who were not medical students, but neighborhood friends.

Religions represented were Protestant, Catholic and Jewish. And, I should add, it included men and women.

As friends do, we all talked among ourselves both before the event, during, and after. A lot of it had to do with figuring out what was going on with all these nationalities represented. We split into factions about what was "right" and what was "wrong," often changing sides with different issues.

Time And Communication

"Why noon?" my husband asked. "When are we eating?" My husband liked everything organized with no surprises. I was more flexible, but willing to dive in and explore, so I called the hostess. "It's buffet," she said. I fished around for more information, like when were we expected to leave, and could I bring anything, hoping she'd reveal the menu. Her answers were typically New England. Terse.

"You didn't find out anything?" my husband asked, when I returned empty-handed.

"She didn't volunteer anything," I said. "I did the best I could."

"Why didn't you just ask her the questions outright?" he said.
