CULTURE SHOCK

When you go to other countries, when you travel to different places, you realize that there are many cultures that you never imagined. So you experiment many feelings at the same time, like an unexpected, intense and weird experience that has a sudden and powerful effect on people. When you are passing through a culture shock, you are "living" reactions and difficulties that can happen if you establish a life in a foreign country.

One of the most typical aspects is when you go to a country that has a culture completely different from yours, and the worst thing, is that you need to stay there for a longer period of time, because of work, any necessity, or wherever. That situation brings you a lot of emotional consequences that are caused by be away from your family, friends, own culture, etc. For that reason you "lose" your identity, felling totally lost.

The behavior also is affected when people get in shock with other cultures, because the dreams about how you can start a new life begin to be difficult. One of the reasons, is that you don’t manage perfectly the language or maybe you don’t find a good job (as you have in your country), so people start to feel defeated and failed.

Finally when a person goes to any country with a different culture, first everything is perfect, because you fell exciting to know other places, to travel and to transform your life to a new one. But latter the crisis begins as you notice that the change of countries doesn’t brings you benefits in emotional or behavior aspects.
