CULTURE SHOCK
What is culture shock?
The term culture shock expresses lack of direction, feeling of not knowing what to do or how to do things in a new environment, and not knowing what is appropriate or inappropriate in this new environment.
I experienced this culture shock and I try to solve this problem. Since different countries have different cultures, when people get into the new country, they may encounter different challenges like:
1) Problems in communicating with the native speakers
2) Feeling sad, lonely, dejected and stressed
3) Been afraid that i can’t understand the courses because of the language
4) Lack of sleep
5) Feeling strange
I tried to suggest answers and solution about this problem, which includes;
I tried changing my attitude
Patience to go through difficulty of culture shock
Suggesting some advice from the people of my country that lives in the new country.
I evaluated this suggestion about the solutions that I should;
I Feel comfortable and try to think positively all the time
Culture shock help me redefine my life objectives.
I learn how to interact with a different culture so that I will find it valuable experience
Then I tried to force myself to apply this solution by speaking with the native speakers, because speaking with them is more effective and one thing to kill my loneliness.
I apply because I take positive steps such as changing attitude and forcing myself into this environment for me to solve the problem.
