About

Culture Shock is a collaborative culture blog that mixes media, mode, and prose to create a fresh dialogue on the old premise of common ground.  Hosted by Boston University’s Howard Thurman Center, Culture Shock is an experiment involving the most cataclysmic instruments of change: youth and their ideas.

This blog is written by students of Boston University as a conduit to initiate discussion and bridge communities within BU and beyond. In taking our daily experiences and relationships, we search for meaning and common threads among diverse ways of life. We have but one request: that you read, think and analyze along with us as we venture towards the absence of answers.
