Description
Summary:Lee is a 22-year old college student who moved to North America from rural China with his parents when he was 13 years old. He is feeling isolated and stressed by his studies. Lee is living in residence, but characterizes himself as introverted and is not engaged in the party scene there. He enrolled in engineering and is struggling with the course load. As the first member of his family to enroll in university, Lee is feeling pressure from his parents to succeed. In this exchange, Anita hears Lee's reluctance to share his distress with his parents as associated with his membership in the cultural subgroup of men. In other words, she hears him as a somewhat 'typical' male who is not inclined to share his feelings. Lee understands it differently. To what does he ascribe his choice not to disclose to his parents?
