Before I came here I had some stereotypes about Americans. One of the stereotypes is family. In the movie Click, it emphasizes that family is the most important thing in the world. At first, Adam Sandler can not make a decision between work and family. His two children want to go to camp, but he does not have enough time to spend with his children. His family is disappointed with him. By choosing work, he messes up his whole life and he loses his family. Finally, he realizes that he made a wrong decision. He regrets to choose work. Fortunately, that is a dream. After dreaming, he comes back his home and spends a lot of time with his family. After I saw the movie, I think that American consider that a family is more important than work. Now, I think that it is true. Americans try to spend more time with their family. Americans enjoy going camping with their children when they have the time and having dinner. I think American companies give Americans many opportunities to spend the time with children or family. The second reason why I think Americans think that a family is an important thing is most of Americans have a big family car. They love often to go to family trip and they move altogether. After children grown up, American children leave their parents and live separately, so American parents try to spend a lot of time when their children is young. Even though they live separately, they always keep in tough with their family. I think that is really good situation. When they live together they spend a time together, and when they apart from each other they try to keep in touch. Before I came here, another stereotype that I had is American education has good surroundings for students. American education has opening mind and a few students can talk with teachers. American teachers always smile and accept their students’ opinion and thinking. In contrast, in Korea, teachers have the answers of questions and they do not try to accept students’ opinion. Korean teachers are always stubborn. Also, Korean students have to study with over 50 friends in class. That means teachers can not talk with their students man to man. Now, I think that it is partially true. What American teachers always try to accept students’ opinion is true. When teachers ask questions, there are no answers. Student’s thinking is right and is the answer. I think that means teachers have opening mind for students. In addition, students can say their thinking freely. I can not imagine that over 50 Korean students say their opinion in a class. However, in universities, both American and Korean students have the same situation. The reason is many global students take a class together in university. However, most important thing is teachers always try to something for students and it is really good. In Korea, some teachers are changing, but others are not flexible. A stereotype is just a fixed too general image or thinking. There are no reasons. Also a stereotype is not always right. After I stayed in America, I changed my mind. Before I came here, I had some stereotypes about Americans, education, and others. Now, I have new aspects of American and thinking what I experienced and saw is truth. I think what people have some stereotype is not good. People have not to have stereotypes.
