READING: LEXICAL PRECISION:
Worried vs preoccupied
Worried means you are anxious or stressed about something. For example- I was worried about my test results.
Preoccupied means being thoughtful about something/someone or wrapped in your own thoughts. For example- I was preoccupied in preparing for my exams that I forgot about my brother's birthday.
Cultural clash vs cultural shock: which is milder?
Culture clash is what happens when there is tension between people because one or both people feel threatened by what the other believes, values and practices. This can be based on a person’s ethnicity, culture, religion, sexual orientation, age and/or gender.
Culture shock more accurately describes what an immigrant might feel when he or she first arrives in a new country, submersed in a culture with customs so different than their own. A more mild example on the culture shock spectrum would be what a person who did not properly prepare for his or her first camping trip might feel. You might also feel culture shock in another neighborhood of your own city or in a country on the other side of the world.
