Seeing a woman wearing a burqa can reasonably lead to assuming that she belongs to a specific culture, such as many Muslim cultures where the burqa is worn as a traditional garment. However, making assumptions about her attitudes or values would be speculative and inappropriate. There is no indication that she is experiencing culture shock simply by wearing the burqa.
