The cultural shock in my work as a waiter.

The cultural shock it's a break in the agent of the social structure. This structuralism vision of the life comes from United States of América, developed for Talcott Parson, with the influences of Claude Levis Strauss, the father of Anthropological structuralism, even though Parson try to make a synthesis of Marx, Weber and Durkheim, the fathers of the sociologie.
With this concept of "cultural shock" i will try to show an example with my work as a waiter in a chinese restaurant, in Santiago, Chile.
In the restaurant work people of all nationalities. chileans, peruvians, chinese (young and old) and Haitians. Even some people don't speak spanish at all. The old chinese founders don´t understand very well the local language, and most of their communication is with signs. I never complety understand the old grandfather and the old grandmather(the founding couple). Also the old men always is angry. Nobody know why, but we try to live and work with his weirdness. 
The other peoples who speak spanish also have their own argot. And intonation, and syntax. Then, it´s not very easy understand all the communications in the restaurant.

The communication breakdown it´s prevalent in some people.

But differences asides, the communication it´s possible. And the daily coexistence too. All together make a unique community, with good and bad ponit. It´s the live and finally we have a good time.
