Posted By richmcl 6 months, 1 week ago in Business & FinanceCulture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings of surprise, disorientation, uncertainty and confusion people have when they move to, or have to deal with a different and unknown cultural, such as a foreign country. Culture shock come from the difficulties in assimilating the new culture, causing difficulty in knowing what is appropriate and what is not. This is often combined with a dislike for or even disgust with certain aspects of the new or different culture.
Reverse Culture Shock, also called Re-entry Shock, is the shock you get when you return to your home culture after growing accustomed to a new culture. Reverse culture shock can produce the same effects as culture shock. A person often finds reverse culture shock surprising and difficult to deal with than the original culture shock.
