culture shock  

Définition

  • Culture shock is a sense of loss and disorientation that occurs when our deeper values are challenged by a new culture where adaptation is required. This conflict in values frequently generates feelings of tension and anxiety due to the loss of familiar cultural cues, and a sense of inefficacy when we cannot succeed at tasks we once mastered.
