The Japan Exchange and Teaching Program(me) places thousands of young native speakers of English in Japanese schools every year. One problem such people face is culture shock. This article examines the nature of such culture shock. In doing so, it defines culture and culture shock; examines cultural relativism and absolutism; and considers the culture of the Japanese organization. The article concludes that culture shock is a real and serious difficulty which all participants in the JET Program(me) need to be aware of.
