expatriates or when a person goes to visit another country. The most common cause of culture
Culture Shock - One of the biggest hindrances to people living in a new culture is the initial
culture-shock that people experience, as well as the culture-stress that occurs as time progresses.
When a person enters a new culture, there are many noticeable differences from his/her own
culture. These differences have been labelled culture-shock and culture-stress. It is the initial
differences, which is called culture-shock, that often cause worry, fear, and sometimes
However, these can be easily overcome through preparation and changes in attitude.
Changing Values and Culture Shock - Changing Values and Culture Shock “Kids today have
no moral values or sense of culture!” – a very common grievance of parents today whose parents
-in their time- lamented about their lack of ethics and whose parents in turn complained of their
unfavorable attitudes, whose parents again worried about the decline in tradition. This cycle of
change in culture dates back even to times when what we now call ‘our culture’ and ‘our ethics’

Four Stages of Culture Shock Faced By Immigrants - A sudden change in one’s
surroundings can result in culture shock. Culture shock refers to the anxiety and surprise a
person feels when he or she is discontented with an unfamiliar setting. The majority of practices
or customs are different from what a person is used to. One may experience withdrawal,
homesickness, or a desire for old friends. For example, when a person goes to live in a different
place with unfamiliar surroundings, they may experience culture shock. Sometimes it is the
result of losing their identity...
Unavoidable Changes in Pop Culture - Unavoidable Changes “Popular culture moves
through our world at warp speed” (Aufses, Scanlon, Shea 707). For example, current events that
take place by day are the main topics by night. Even videos posted on the internet can become
the biggest trend overnight, but disappear just as quick. Without realizing it, everyday these
trends of thought affect the way we dress, live and think. Whether we like it or not, these
thoughts are manipulated by popular culture. It is undeniable that “we are creatures of outside
influences; as a rule we do not think, we only imitate”
A sense of confusion and uncertainty sometimes with feelings of anxiety that may
affect people exposed to an alien culture or environment without adequate preparation.
Culture shock is way to explain why you are feeling differently to be in other country. There are
changes in language, customs. You are learning new ways to do something every day.
Here are some feelings you might feel in your new country, Sad, only without your friends
and family, Disappointed, Homesick.
Does everyone experience culture shock?
Everyone adapts to new situations differently. Some people wanted to move while others are
forced to move. Some people are excited to learn new languages, other people are not interested
in new language. Everyone experiences culture shock in different ways. Culture shock is a
subcategory of a more universal construct called transition shock. Transition shock is a state of
loss and disorientation predicated by a change in one's familiar environment that requires
adjustment. There are many symptoms of transition shock, including:
Excessive concern over
cleanliness, Feelings of helplessness and withdrawal, Irritability, Anger, Mood swings, Glazed
stare, Desire for home and old friends, Physiological stress reactions, Homesickness, Boredom.
What can I do about these things?
* Learn the foreign language - Practice whenever you can and don’t worry about making
mistakes. You learn by practicing!
* Learn about your new country - The more you know, the more comfortable you’ll feel.
* Ask questions - It's okay to ask others to help or explain things for you.
* Share your culture - Be proud of who you are. Many others are very interested to
learn from you, just like you are trying to learn from them.
* Get help from others Talk to people who care about you, such as friends, teachers, counselors
or others in your community.
* Give yourself time - Change takes a lot of time. Don’t try to change too fast or too many
things at once.
I want to give some examples
In conclusion, culture shock should always be studied carefully so that people can feel
easier to adjust to new environment and haven't to meet culture shock.
