Introduction
It might seem so amazing when we see someone immigrating, especially, when they are moving to a more developed environment than their native one. But not all the process of immigration feels wonderful. Certainly it has a lot of benefits, yet it can make you feel really disappointed at some point. One of the very likely things that one may encounter when moving to a new country is Culture Shock. Culture shock describes the impact of moving from a familiar culture to one that is unfamiliar. It includes the shock of a new environment, meeting lots of new people and learning the ways of a new country.
