1. Definition of Culture Shock from Study.com
Culture shock is the term we use to describe
the feelings of confusion and uncertainty that are experienced when you come
into contact with a culture that is vastly different from your own. Culture
shock can be commonly seen in foreign students, immigrants, and refugees. Even
students who stay in their home countries suffer from culture shock as they
make the transition into the foreign environment known as college.
2. Example of Culture Shock
a. When I came first in Yogyakarta to study, I
shocked very much because my friends who came from NTT ate something like flour
with a stick and it made their mouth red. After I asked them they welocomed me
to try that food. And I shocked again because they gave an explanation that if
I made a mistake in eating that food it will kill yourself.
b. When
I studied for the first time in UTY I extremely shocked because there are many
different ways of lecturer gave the lesson. Probably it was about the
transition from student of senior high school to being university student.
Moreover I obviously shocked because he talked a lot of the lesson in English.
I ever thought that it will better to me to go home at the time because I did
not understand all about the lesson.
