Abstract

In an increasingly interconnected global landscape, cultural disorientation has surfaced as a significant phenomenon, particularly within societies undergoing substantial transformations in cultural norms, values, and practices. Cultural disorientation denotes the psychological and social turmoil individuals endure when confronted with disparate cultural influences. This article investigates the origins, expressions, and repercussions of cultural disorientation, drawing upon frameworks of cultural identity, migration, globalization, and generational discord. Moreover, it offers methodologies for individuals and communities to adeptly navigate these intricacies, promoting a more inclusive and adaptive paradigm for cultural engagement.
