Kultur Shock
Kultur Shock refers to the feelings of confusion and disorientation that individuals experience when they encounter a culture different from their own. This phenomenon often occurs when people travel or move to a new country, leading to challenges in understanding social norms, language, and behaviors.
The experience of Kultur Shock can manifest in various ways, including anxiety, frustration, and homesickness. It is a common reaction as individuals adjust to new environments, such as when expatriates or international students adapt to life in a foreign country, like the United States or Japan.
