英语写作：the cause of cultural shock and how to address it?

Culture shock:- is a term used to describe the anxiety and feelings (of surprise, disorientation, confusion, etc.) felt when people have to operate within an entirely different cultural or social environment, such as a foreign country. It grows out of the difficulties in assimilating the new culture, causing difficulty in knowing what is appropriate and what is not. This is often combined with strong disgust (moral or aesthetical) about certain aspects of the new or different culture. The term was introduced for the first time in 1954 by Kalvero Oberg.
Culture shock is a research area in intercultural communication. Recently, some researchers claim that culture shock does have many positive effects on intercultural sojourners, like increasing self-efficiency [1] and helping improve self-motivation [2].
Experienced travelers tend to cope much better with the difficulties of travel. Some common strategies used to make the transition easier are:[4]:
* Reading about the country and its culture before departing. This way, the country and its people are more familiar upon arrival. They then become aware of differences in the new country and are thus better prepared to deal with them when possible (e.g., differences in hygiene), culture the water.
* Avoiding being offended, offending locals, or being engaged in any more general cultural misunderstanding; they familiarize themselves with local customs and language.
* Being open-minded about the culture they visit.
* Taking a 'time out' or rest apart from cultural exchange in order to reduce the 'shock' of adjustment.
