| Abstract: | Misunderstandings between cultures is a prime source of conflict which can be seen repeatedly throughout American foreign policy. Following the research conducted in the fall of 2006, this study tries to understand how community is developed in I-House and who is part of this community. This research will investigate Illinois State Universities I-House and international student community. Building from previous research, which found a trend among International students to develop community with other International students, but not with American students. with this research I attempt to find an answer for why this trend is a common occurrence. Perspectives on the situation will include administrative persons of the Office of International Studies and Program at ISU and from International student living in and outside of I-House. |
