International students face culture differences

International student may face culture differences in United States. They may experience some kind of culture shock. America is country that has personal freedom which everyone seems to want but the international students may think this country is too open mind and hard to adjust their mind. They need to accept and understand the culture of America. For example, they need to understand that a simple “how are you?” is only greeting. It is just like saying “good morning or hi.”. Most of the international students come to America after their high school life. In China, they need to rise their hand to ask the teacher to have the permission of going to the restroom. The students in China are more respectful and politeness to the teachers. In community college of the America, I had seen some of the Chinese classmates ask for the permission of going to the restroom. The students in America have a better relationship with their teachers. The American students have large collection of friends and their groups of friends changes over time. The American has less interested in the past and look forward. They eye on near-term future. They are easily to forget the past and goes on. These kinds of culture differences may be the obstacles of making American friends in America. These may affect their personality and the views of things. To deal with this, the international students can make friends with other international students or try to accept the American culture.
