Culture shock is a form of psychological disorientation produced by a sudden and complete change in one's cultural environment. The effect is proportional to the contrast between the individual's normal cultural milieu and that in which they are subsequently immersed. A change in climate, racial differences, geographical surroundings, mode of transportation, diet, friends, daily routines, coinage, and language all tend to make adolescents remarkably more dependent upon others for direction and emotional support. This also renders them more malleable and capable of new perspectives. This condition greatly enhances meaningful communication, offering young people extraordinary occasions for making enriching discoveries that inspire personal growth.
