The entire book of Arnold takes culture as collection of everything what is the best and perfect in the world. In such a case, harmonious perfection is a general perfection that affects all the members of society because if one member suffers, all the others must suffer with it. Mathew Arnold defines culture as study of perfection. It is usually hard adjusting to a new place, friends one hang out with, the way they talk, express themselves, all this is new but the best thing about it all is that it is temporally. It is natural for someone to experience all this due to all the changes people encounter. Also when someone moves to new place, it is both exciting and overwhelming but at the same time someone can get culture shock. This is due to the lack of awareness to the new culture. When someone is immersed in a new culture apart from the one he is used to, someone feel vulnerable, frustrated and fearful. These include beliefs, traditions, food, customs, dress, language, music, art and literature. Culture is the way of life of a particular people or society.
