Answer:

These experiences have left him with a profound sense of culture shock.

Step-by-step explanation:

Culture shock presents itself as a disorientation an individual tends to feel as he/she experiences an unfamiliar culture to his/her own. The individual may be confused with the differences between his/her own culture and the one he/she is experiencing.

Some examples are food, customs, attitudes, language barriers, etc.

In this case, John's American culture is very different from Moroccan culture and some of the examples which have given him the most shock include the lack of women in public positions, intense stares, shoving and pushing and lack of sanitation by food vendors.
