Abstract
When my family and I came to the U.S., I had to learn and adopt American cultural values. After years of living in America, I went to visit my home country, and to my greatest surprise, my family and friends thought I was no longer the same. During a friendly conversation and argument over social services and an occasional power outage, a friend said to me, “This one is Americanized; not only does she speak with a different intonation, she reasons differently.”
