Culture shock is the disorientation individuals may feel when exposed to a new cultural environment, often due to immigration, travel, or a shift in social surroundings. It involves distinct phases like honeymoon, negotiation, adjustment, and adaptation. Common challenges include information overload, language barriers, and homesickness. Students in study abroad programs often experience culture shock, but in-country support can help mitigate its effects. Research suggests that well-rounded university programs, including pre and post-program assistance, can aid students in overcoming culture shock challenges and contribute to global development.
