Решение:

Culture shock is emotional or physical discomfort, disorientation of the individual caused by falling into a different cultural environment, a collision with another culture, an unfamiliar place. The essence of culture shock is the conflict of old and new cultural norms and orientations, old ones inherent in the individual as a representative of the society that he left, and new ones, that is, representing the society in which he arrived. Strictly speaking, culture shock is a conflict of two cultures at the level of individual consciousness. For example, I live in Kazakhstan and I’m used to seeing the same thing every day.If I leave a foreign country, it will not be familiar to me. Even because of this, I get a culture shock. There are many advantages from this, I will see something unusually new, I will develop morally and culturally. But because of the shock state, I can change my mind and stay to live abroad.To be honest, these problems concern all countries. Citizens leave and stay to live anywhere. And their patriotism may disappear.I think these are global problems of the world.
