Culture Shock
The Alien Syndrome
By: Mustafa Sadman Sakib
What is culture shock?
Culture shock is 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.
The most common problems include:
● information overload
● language barrier
● homesickness (cultural)
Four Phases:
1) Honeymoon Phase
2) Frustration Phase
3) Adjustment Phase
4) Mastery Phase
Honeymoon Phase
During this period, the differences between the old and
new culture are seen in a romantic light.
Example:
When moving into a new country, you start off loving the new food and the
pace of the life. You feel fascinated by the new culture.
Frustration Phase
● Differences between old and new culture become
apparent
● Usually after three months
● Excitement of new culture begins to diminish
● Sense of disconnection due to:
○ language barriers
○ new systems- https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=GlCazmVBUMg
