I think this is called culture shock. This gesture of touching the head of the Ywadees is something new to the other cultures. People outside their culture believes that this is wrong but for the Ywadees, this is their belief and way of life. For a sociologist, they believe that there is no right or wrong in culture. People should respect other cultures.
