Cultural Shock

From my career (psychology) a cultural shock could be like a internalize of concepts, ideas, attitudes include beliefs of other place, also a cultural shock can generate strangeness and surprise. My experience about of a cultural shock is recent. Happens that my family it's gone to live far away, in the south of Chile. For that reason I' ve lived a cultural shock.
Although I live in Chile too, the south is different, it's have other habits. For example, the manner of speak, the accent and also the charm. The people of Santiago are very individual, we think very little in the others and that is a bad thing because the world was made for everyone and each one must be respected.
I'm surprised when speak with the people in the south of chile because they are polites and I fell that like a true expression, and this is beautiful because still exist hope.
I think that a cultural shock is, in general, a good thing because the people learn of other cultures, sometimes there is bad experiences, is true, but also there is good, surprising and wonderful experiences. Know and learn are two beautiful verbs that we not must us forget, this is a elementary part of the life but very important!
