The author's experience in Morocco that included the absence of women from public positions, intense stares directed at him by the Moroccans, pushing and shoving at the train station, and the total disregard for sanitation by food vendors left the author with a profound sense of:

Culture shock

Explanation:

Culture shock refers to the experience of a person who moves to another culture and feels disoriented in that culture. It can be defined as a feeling of uncertainty and confusion that one experience when living in a society or culture that differs from one's own culture.

Culture shocks usually happen to those who live far from their homes or those who travel.

In the given case, the author's experience in Morocco was a phenomenon of culture shock. He experienced the absence of women in public, shoving and pushing in trains, lack of sanitation, etc which is different from the author's culture.

So, the correct answer is culture shock.
