]]> him (him | her | them) with different eyes. On the one hand, he experiences they experience a pleasant feeling of exclusivity, and on the other, he experiences a bitter feeling of confusion and isolation. I have never spent a long time abroad. But sometimes I communicate with people who had lived in Asian countries for a long time. Such people needed some time to get used to the style of clothing and behavior of Russian women, which in comparison with the traditions of eastern countries were too immoral. Although before leaving living in Asia, they did not see anything reprehensible in such behavior. In contrast, people who have spent several years in the United States or the European Union were surprised by the conservative attitude of Russians towards representatives of the LGBT community. Even the cold climate of Russia is stressful for people who have lived for a long time in warm countries. You can minimize the consequences of reverse culture shock by following a few simple rules. The first thing you need to do is keep in touch with family and friends at home. You can also try to control your expectations. Once you get home, find a group of people on social nets who are also experiencing reverse culture shock. You can discuss your problems with them and ask for advice. The relocant former migrant can also spend more time with his (his | her | their) family and travel around the country. In other words, you need to find emotions that will help you love your homeland again. b) Designers at major fashion houses often create designs that appear disrespectful to any group of people. Thus, stylists from the fashion house Gucci put up for sale on the website an Indian turban for $790 in the fall/winter 2018/2019 collection. Representatives of the Sikh community said that the turban is not a fashion accessory, but a symbol of faith for many people. When putting the turban up for sale in the “Hats” section, Gucci specialists did not think about the fact that many Sikhs around the world are persecuted for wearing such a headdress. It is not at all difficult to avoid cultural appropriation in the fashion world. The stylist only needs to become more familiar with the culture of the country whose designs he uses (he uses | she uses | they use) when they develop a fashion brand with any traditional elements. Perhaps some things may be objects of belief and cult, some may carry deep meaning, some may be associated with persecution and difficult periods in the history of the people.]]> 75
