Answer to Question 1

Emic is the insider point of view. It expresses things meaningful within that culture. This may not always be something easily understood by outsiders. The etic perspective is the scientific approach to another society. This is easily translatable across cultures, but it may seem less meaningful and emotive as a form of understanding.

Answer to Question 2

It is feelings of alienation and helplessness that result from rapid immersion in a new and different culture.
