Cultural Shock

I wonder if somewhere the film of this experiment in 'cultural shock' still exists.

Well, it was the hippie days. I'd like to see if the film still exists, also. I don't remember much from that period.

Where the hell is the cultural in this shock? You can paint your naked body and roll around the room all you want, sir, this will not make it a part of any culture. This might make it an art performance or a sexual harassment lawsuit, but a cultural shock? Never!

Yudith: quite. Culture shock is when you encounter another culture and it's so different from your own you have difficulty accepting it. This is merely an intentional transgression of their own culture, which is a different thing altogether. It was quite right that he was fired, not for any moral reason, but because he simply doesn't know his own field and therefore cannot teach it.
