Globalization is an inevitable trend in today's times. People today have more and more opportunities to interact with the whole world. Students study abroad to gain more advanced knowledge. Travelers travel all over the world to enrich their experiences. And even a small business begins to think about how to manage international trade. More interactions occurring means more information exchange. More information exchange leads to increased sharing of knowledge and wisdom. As more and more knowledge and wisdom are shared, humans move forward together. However, what cannot be ignored is that at the same time as people interact all over the world, cultural differences arise. As an international student, I want to discuss the effect of cultural differences on international students in this article, based on my experiences and research. So what is the effect of cultural differences? Is this positive for international students? Or does this have a negative impact for international students? Why is this important to people? Some people think that the effect of cultural differences is the same as that of culture shock: "the personal disorientation a person may feel when experiencing a particular way of unknown life due to immigration or visiting a new country. , a movement between social environments, or simply a journey to another type of life” (Macionis and Linda Gerber 54). This idea is absolutely good. Because most of the time, cultural differences cause many inconveniences for people, like international students. Let's prove this from two aspects: daily life and studies. From daily life to say, international students like me cannot easily understand what people are talking about and therefore cannot participate in the daily conversation middle of paper. .....but it is important and necessary for people to know more deeply about the effect of cultural differences in order to answer these questions. Only when people know more about these effects can they find effective ways to help international students adapt their daily lives and succeed in their studies. Furthermore, only when people know more about these effects will they be able to identify the particular values ​​and personalities of international students.
