In this episode of the Different View,I will start with with culture shock definition, concepts, and the main stages of the culture shock that we might face.

Also, there is a story of a friend from Russia that lived in the United States and what culture shock she faced when she came to the US.

In the end, a small tip that could help any immigrant who want to live in any new place and pass -or minimize- the culture shock experiment, which is "try to understand the culture differences".
