- Culture shock is believed to be a major issue for students who go abroad to study. Though small differences around students may cause frustration, for instance; the food is different, unfamiliar language, norms, and the other traditions that they are used to. Yet, culture shocks are not either sickness or disease. Moreover, culture is could be learnt and culture shock is possible to be prepared in advance. These possibilities encourage the researcher to conduct research concerned in culture shock. Related to culture shock phenomenon, the research problems are formulated as the following: (1).
