The notion that some extra effort is necessary either to make sense of the perceived world we take as given, or to communicate our ordinary perceptions to others is alien to us; is alien to most people in most cultures. Only when we talk with someone of a different cultural background do we find ourselves challenged, often in frustratingly subtle ways, to get our points across and to comprehend the deep meaning of what is being said to us. We meet as two context-manipulators with different ideas of how to do so, and of what any arrangement means. This experience is culture shock.
