culture shock and intercultural communication

Culture shock refers to the feelings of disorientation, confusion, and anxiety experienced when encountering a new and unfamiliar culture. It occurs when individuals experience a stark contrast between their own cultural norms and values and those of the new culture. Intercultural communication, on the other hand, is the exchange of information and interaction between people from different cultural backgrounds. It involves understanding and effectively communicating across cultural differences and overcoming barriers such as language, nonverbal cues, and varying cultural expectations.
