Description An account of the resource In this column by Lebanese student Abdullah Mina, the ways that foreign students are misunderstood and talked about by American students are explored. Mina begins the piece by claiming that being a foreign student "is a responsibility because the student is, in a sense, a representative of his country and his people" and that the judgements passed on that student can therefore easily be related to his or her country. Many of his "contrasts" illustrate the stereotypes of the "sophisticated" foreigner versus the "selfish" and "unpatriotic" one.

He goes on to say that Western Civilization has "had such a profound influence in the world that no other civilization may arise without borrowing from it" and that "no other civilization has done more for the advancement of mankind." He says that those who are critical "don't believe in their civilization as much as it believes in them as individuals," and that he still has faith in Western Civilization.
