CULTURE SHOCK AS A SOCIAL ISSUE
Main Article Content
Abstract
Culture shock is a reaction that individuals experience when entering a new and
unfamiliar culture. It is the result of increased anxiety, stress and disorientation resulting from the
unfamiliarity of new surroundings. Culture shock can happen to anyone, whether they are
travelers, students, immigrants or tourists. As a social issue, culture shock affects individuals,
families, and institutions. In this article, we will explore the dynamics of culture shock as a social
issue.
