Culture shock is the personal disorientation someone feels when experiencing an unfamiliar way of life, such as when traveling or moving to a new country. Some common causes of culture shock involve individuals in an unfamiliar foreign environment experiencing differences in education, social situations, and negotiating between their old and new cultures, which can create anxiety. Physical reactions like tiredness, sleeplessness, headaches, and stomach aches may occur, as well as emotional effects like anxiety, irritability, and depression. However, experiencing a new culture through study abroad is a privilege that can lead to personal enrichment.
