What is Culture Shock?

"Culture shock usually occurs when people unconsciously apply their own cultural rules to people from another culture," the author says. “And that can lead to feelings of frustration, surprise, disorientation, confusion, isolation, hurt, and sometimes even retaliation.” Sharing his experiences in Shocking Cultures, Dr. Ngomsi hopes to open the eyes and minds of people to understand that not everyone shares the same cultural lenses. As a result, “we do not see the world as it is but as we are".
