Communication is an “act of creating and validating self-images”
(Zaharna 1989, p.510)
![Page 22: Chapter 3 Culture shock 1:38 space youtube/watch?v=B6C2e84a5lc&feature=related](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56812ec2550346895d946336/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The culture is different, and the expected parameters of social roles and social associations are no longer valid, so newcomers are faced with uncertain and ambiguous communication events as well as inconsistent self-images. The result is self-shock. ……..
