1. Statement of the Problem
A. Definition
Maria is an international student from Venezuela. It was her first time coming to the United State and had been far away from her family and friends. She was looking forward to beginning a new life and making friends in the U.S. Maria was lucky that she met Jenny, her roommate, a warm and lovely person. However, there were some different habits between them. Jenny loved hard rock music and she did not mind a messy room. In contrast, Maria hated hard rock music and she could not stand disorder. Worst of all, Jenny usually brought her boyfriend to her room. In Maria’s perception, premarital sex is a sin, so she was amazed by their behavior. She didn’t understand why American college students can regard this behavior as a common. Therefore, she turned to her friend, Elena, told her things about Jenny. Maria stayed with Elena at one night Jenny brought her boyfriend to her room again. In the next morning, when Maria went back to her room, I was total in a mess. Finally, Maria could not stand this situation anymore.
