CULTURE SHOCK!!

What is Culture Shock?

It’s the personal disorientation a person may feel when experiencing an unfamiliar way of life due to immigration or a visit to a new country, a move between social environments, or simply travel to another type of life. Macionis, John, and Linda Gerber

"Chapter 3 - Culture." Sociology

Phases of Culture Shock

HOME HOST COUNTRY HOME

Everything is new, exciting & interesting

Differences become apparent & irritating. Problems occur & frustation sets in

You accept & embrace cultural differences. You see the host as your new home. Don’t want to leave new friends

You may feel homesick, depressed & helpless.

You develop strategies to cope with difficulties & feelings, make new friends, and learn to adapt to the host culture.

You are excited about returning home.

You gradually adjust to live at home. Things start to seem more normal & routine again, although not completely the same.

You incorporate what you learned and experience

abroad into your new life and career

You may feel frustrated, angry, or lonely because friends & family don’t understand what you experienced & how you changed. You miss the host culture & friends.
