Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Greg's stress and discomfort in a foreign environment suggests that he is experiencing culture shock, which is a common reaction to the unfamiliar customs and ways of life in a new cultural setting. Globalization refers to the interconnectedness of people and countries through increased economic, political, and cultural exchange, and does not describe Greg's emotional state. Difference in worldviews and exposure to co-cultures are related concepts that refer to the ways in which different cultural groups view the world and interact with one another, but neither term specifically addresses the feelings of stress and discomfort that Greg is experiencing.
