Assignment 4

In my opinion, the attitude of being with other Chinese is acceptable but not agreeable. When we refer to the theory in sociology, the term of Culture Shock can be completely approved by Liu's experience in the US struggling between connection with Chinese and Americans. The story of resocialization happened on almost every foreigner's life when move to the new countries which has more or less differences with their own countries on not only on language but life style and value even culture. Honestly, I involved in such change, though it did not influence me as serious as Liu, and I can hardly feel it now. I can understand the situation of isolation of culture from the native culture for foreigners even if they live within the latter for long time like Liu. However, they should try to adapt to the culture where they are and hypnotize our original one temporarily, as the saying, "do as Romans do." It is irony that if denying even try to adapt to the new culture, why does Liu come to America? Only for live with the ones he see everyday and really familiar with on how they are like before coming? Or for spreading communism to Americans? If yes, why does not he stay in China. That is the cradle of his dream. Studying oversea is more than education rather the entire internal and external aspects of the new countries from which students' lives will benefit. Although I never object the intimacy of being with the own fellows, melting in the new culture virtually provide the opportunity of harvest the culture distinguish from the previous one, which is the reason why I am in America.
