Cultural Shock

Most of  humans live and grew up  with other humans in small or big comunities, like tribes or cities. All of these groups have  a particular lenguage and folklor, and specifically  relations with the environment and customs .In brief, different ways of live;  the  Antropology uses the concept 'culture' to refer to that. Is important to say that in one society you can fin many cultures, for example the specifically of the old or young people of the same comunity  or the case of urban tribes

In this way, when a person has a change of social ambient has many problems: the costums and the relation between the people are different; also, many times the lenguage was different too. It is called 'culture shock'.

For example, when I traveled to Bolivia last summer I felt that I was in a really different place. I arrived at La Paz, that has an urban pattern so different in comparation of Santiago. Also, the people bought and sold so many things in the street and drive the cars so quickly. Days later, I found more differences between Bolivia and Chile, like the variety of lenguajes that people talk, like quechua or another dialects. Also, the people were more shy, use a mix between typicall clothes and things that people use here in Santiago, has different customs about the hygienic; many chilean people that I knew may have problems with it, I think. I'm tolerant and no demanding, but in the personal case I had problems to find vegetarian food.
