Cause and Symptoms
1， Culture shock might be called an occupational disease of people who have been
suddenly transplanted abroad. Like most diseases, it has its own symptoms.
2， Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs
and symbols of social intercourse. Those signs or cues include the thousand and one ways with which we are familiar in the situation of daily life: when to shake hands and what to say when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to go shopping, when to accept and when not refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These cues, whick may be words, gestures, facial expressions, customs, or norms, are acquired by all of use in the course of growing up and are as
much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend for our peace of mind and our efficiency on hundrends of these cues, ofter without our conscious awareness.
3， Now when a person enter a strange culture, all or most of these familiar cues are
removed. He or she is like a fish out of the water. No matter how broad-minded or full of goodwill you may be, a series of props have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of frustration and anxiety. People react to the frustration in much the same way.
First they reject the environment which causes the discomfort, “The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad.” When foreigners in a strange land get together to grumble about the host country and its people, you can be sure they are suffering from culture shock. Anther symptom of culture shock is regression. The home environment suddenly takes on a tremendous importance. To the foreigner everything becomes irrationally glorified. All the difficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered, It usually takes a tripe home to bring one back to reality.
