Question

The author's experience in Morocco, which included the absence of women from public positions, intense stares directed at him, pushing and shoving at the train station, and total disregard for sanitation by food vendors, left the author with a profound sense of ________. A. ethnocentrism B. culture shock C. cultural relativity D. stereotyping

Answer 1

B. culture shock

Step-by-step explanation:

Cultural shock is the experience one had when he is in a new environment. This experience is as a result of moving to an environment that is quite different for your own. Example is moving from USA to India. The intensity of the cultural shock differs from individual to individual.

In the case of the author's expereicne in Morroco, he or she was left profoundly shocked as a result of the cultural difference between his country and Morroco. For instance, in his country, there is no intense staring directed towards strangers neither is there restriction of women fro taking up public position unlike what he or she is experiencing in Morroco.
