Culture Shock is a term used to describe the anxiety produced when a
person moves to a completely new environment. The feeling of culture shock can
usually set in after the first few weeks of arriving in a new country. Some of
these symptoms: irritability, headaches or stomach aches, overly concerned with
health, easily tired, loneliness, hopelessness, distrust of hosts, withdrawal
from people and activities, painful homesickness, lowered work performance.
I have been had this process to. These are some of my culture shocks in
this 5 month:
The first stage, I encountered the new things In Canada. Everything’s are
wonderful. I was curious to find new things .These
were taking
the bus or going to a restaurant …
After two months I entered the second stage, I encountered
some difficulties or simple differences in my daily routine. For example,
communication problems such as not being understood, food, attitude, and
customs, these things got me bad feeling. I felt of discontent, impatience,
anger, sadness, and a feeling of incompetence. This happens when I was trying
to adapt to a new culture that is very different from my own.
Now I am in this stage. Sometimes I think what I am
doing in Canada or I think is that right I moved in Canada or that is better come
back to my country.
For this problem I try to compose myself and preoccupation
to another thing for example I play with my son and I think I am here to
improve my life.
