Yes, culture shock still exists in 2025, even in our hyper-connected world. Globalization and the internet have made cultures more familiar through media and travel previews, potentially softening the initial impact. However, real-life immersion—differences in daily norms, social interactions, food, and pace—often triggers disorientation, anxiety, or reverse shock upon returning home.Recent reports highlight ongoing experiences among expats, students, and travelers in places like China or during reverse reentry to the US.Sources: National Geographic (2025): https://www.nationalgeographic.com/premium/article/culture-shock-jerusalem-paris-syndrome-travel Expatriate Consultancy (2025): https://expatriateconsultancy.com/cultural-shock-problem/ Wikipedia on Culture Shock: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_shock
