1) Its true, American people live very busy in their work worlds, they don't have time for others.

2) As an international visitor I can assure you that is true as they describe it

3) It's very different, for us a friend comes first, of course after the family

1. I agree with the idea of independence. I think friends are people who you like and enjoy communicating with and not to take advantage of.

 

2. I think it is good manners to invite people over for dinner and it is not an obligation to maintain some relationships after

 

3. Depends on people. We can have a few close friends who are like family members, but it is not very common. Also we can ask for help but only those who we trust and know for many years.

1. Interesting and true.

2. Yes. Absolutely true. I have experienced similar. It felt like exactly too soon too much, but not enough.

3. In my country, it is like opposite. It takese time to make friends, once we are friends there will be more and more to share.

1- Interesting reading, related to our writing assignment

 

2- Yes, very similar. I have observed all these scenarios

 

3- In my culture, people open up easier, they are not that scared of looking dependent or vulnerable

1. What did you think of the reading?

 

2. As an international student/visitor, is the article accurate in how it describes American friendships? Have you observed/experienced something similar or different?

 

3. How is the concept of “friendship” similar and/or different in your culture?
