Diverse Country, But Independent Group


   When I read the "People Like Us", it changed my thought. I just think American is a diverse country which melts a lot different culture around the world. I never think people just live in their group in American, just like every Chinese wants to live in China town, they don't want to communicate with people is from other country. People like to live someone who looks like them. I think it is a personal nature. Even if you like the culture of Korean, you can't go into deep. You can't live with them, so that you don't understand their traditional stuff deeply. For example, a lot of American know the Chinese New Year, but few Americans know how Chinese people to celebrate their festival. In the other hand, it is very difficult to me or my sister to communicate with someone who was born in American. Sometimes, I can't have a same topic with my cousin. We just said "hello" to each other when we met. He had been in American when he was 10 years old. Although we are Chinese, we have same language, same tradition, and so on. However, We have different education, so that we have dissimilar way to think about the same situation. How interesting we are!
