Like most ailments, it has its own symptoms and cure. Cul

42、ture shock is precipitated by the anxiety that results from losing all our signs and symbols of social intercourse.

It is then that the second stage begins, characterized by a hostile and aggressive attitude toward the host country. This hostility evidently grows out of the genuine difficulty which the visitor experiences in the process of adjustment. There are house troubles, transportation troubles, shopping troubles, and the fact that people in the host country are largely indifferent to all these troubles. They help, but they dont understand your great concern over these difficulties. Ther
