Feedback:
The teenager is experiencing cultural change. This often occurs when a person changes upon coming into contact with new beliefs and ideas. Culture shock is a stress response that involves being unable to comprehend the culture that one is immersed in. Viewing one's own culture as the only correct standard by which to view people of other cultures is ethnocentrism. Cultural relativity refers to an understanding that cultures relate differently to the same given situations.
