• Reverse culture shock: Reverse Culture Shock (a.k.a. "Re-entry Shock", or "own culture shock") may take place — returning to one's home culture after growing accustomed to a new one can produce the same effects as described above. This results from the psychosomatic (mental) and psychological consequences of the readjustment process to the primary culture.
• The affected person often finds this more surprising and difficult to deal with than the original culture shock.

Outcomes: There are three basic outcomes of the Adjustment Phase:-- Some people find it impossible to accept the foreign culture and
integrate. They isolate themselves from the host country's environment, which they come to perceive as hostile and see return to their own culture as the only way out. These "Rejectors" also have the greatest problems re-integrating back home after return.
-- Some people integrate fully and take on all parts of the host culture while losing their original identity. They normally remain in the host country forever. This group is sometimes know as "Adopters".
-- Some people manage to adapt the aspects of the host culture they see as positive, while keeping some of their own and creating their unique blend. They have no major problems returning home or relocating elsewhere. This group can be thought to be somewhat “cosmopolitan”.

HEGEMONY
• Hegemony is an indirect form of imperial dominance in which the "hegemon" (leader state) rules sub-ordinate states by the implied means of power rather than direct military force.
• Monopoly of some one… in around the society
