Lee is an international student who has been in the US for a couple of months, though he lives in a dormitory to get close with American students, but he still find it hard to assimilate into them.
The other International students comfort him by telling it is a common situation, that American students aren’t very interested in getting to know international students, but
I really don’t buy it.
Unlike most Asia countries, west countries are more of indicating a loose connection with people, they don’t have this strong group cohesion or loyalty of their own circle. This appearance is called the high individualism, which is proposed by Professor Hofstede. This may give a hint to Lee’s problem.
With the help of the high individualism theory, I can see that American students wouldn’t like to put boundaries with people from other countries. I believe an inclusive nation with all kinds of races is friendly enough to welcome foreign students. The reason why Lee hasn’t get into the circle, I list two causes.
First of all, lack of comprehending. With different education, American kids are more talkative and most of international children are the opposite. They are too shy to express their thoughts, and acting like a listener. It’s kind to be moderate, but also
make themselves difficult to understand.
In the second place, different life track. Americans love after-school-parties, and other relaxing entertainment. They enjoy themselves once a while by dancing and singing, drinking some beer, or even playing tricky games. It’s a directly way to make new
friends and strengthen friendship. But in their eyes, international pals are diligent and share no time in amusement. Truly, international kids study really hard to keep up, but they also can handle having fun in balance. They just need to show their charm, make those American kids to accept their personal fascination.
Therefore, I’d love to give Lee several suggestions:
The most basic rule is respecting and understanding different cultures, follow their thinking habits, and express your own.
Secondly, be helpful. In other words, bring your superiority, especially during group
work. Asia kids as we know are hardworking and cautious, we show great problem-solving ability in cooperation. So use it, offer yourself to some groups which have those popular but with poor performance classmates, make them adore you. And surely they will invite you to their life.
Next, don’t be shy. Express you true feelings, don’t bother to please others or swallow
your emotions. You are who you are, being overseas doesn’t means you are inferior to
others. Confidence can add your attractiveness.
Well, these are my whole opinion and suggestion about lee’s problem.Hopefully, my
words can mean something.
