2. Stereotyping
3. Discrimination
4. Culture shock
4. Culture shock
Rationale:
Culture shock is a disorder that occurs in response to transition from one cultural setting to another. A person's former behaviors are ineffective in such a setting, and basic cues for social behavior are absent. Since the question is an "at risk" scenario, this may not occur, but there is potential for the problem to exist. Prejudice is a negative belief or preference that is generalized about a group and leads to "prejudging.". Stereotyping is assuming that all members of a culture or ethnic group are alike. Discrimination occurs when a person acts on prejudice and denies another person one or more of the fundamental rights.
