Kofi is 19 years old and has lived his entire life in Accra, the capital of Ghana, a west African country. Kofi has completed his freshman year at the University of Ghana and will attend the University of Michigan his sophomore year. One of the things that most concerns Kofi about the move is the potential __________. a) counterculture b) culture shock c) taboos d) value contradictions

Answer 1

Answer: b)culture shock

Step-by-step explanation: Culture shock is the uncertain or confused feeling that occurs due to events or experience that can happen while dealing with other culture or living in different society which is different from their own society or culture.

Kofi is also concerned with the culture shock that she is going to experience in Michigan as the society is completely different from Ghana.

Other options are incorrect because counterculture is the culture that works against the mainstream culture . Taboos is type of ban or prohibition on social culture and contradiction is opposing of ideas or thoughts.Thus, the correct option is option(b).

Culture shock is the feeling of uncertainty, confusion, or anxiety that people experience when visiting, doing business in, or living in a society that is different from their own.

Culture shock can arise from an individual's unfamiliarity with local customs, language, and acceptable behavior.
