Such mistakes and misunderstandings lead to cultural shocks experienced by a particular person or group. For immigrants from tribes and other areas newly entering new environments are particularly vulnerable to cultural shocks. Cultural shock or culture shock can also be one of the triggers of a conflict in an environment where it has a different culture.
