Culture shock refers to the personal disorientation someone feels when experiencing an unfamiliar way of life due to immigration, travel, or moving between social environments. The degree of culture shock depends on cultural differences between one's own and new culture, individual differences in personality and ability to cope, and experiences in the new culture. Symptoms include feelings of disorientation and assuming behaviors necessary in one's own culture are no longer useful. Prevention involves learning about the new culture, making friends, keeping an open mind, and avoiding comparisons. Effects can be deeply felt emotionally and solutions involve early education for children and organized activities for teenagers.
