A particular area in which assumptions and values differ between cultures is that of friendship. Friendships amorig Americans tend to be shorter and less intense than those among people from many other cultures. At least many observers from abroad have this impression. Because Americans are taught to be self-reliant, because they live in a very mobile society, and for many other reasons as well, they tend to avoid deep involvement with other people.

But they can be aware of their stereotypes, and be ready to find exceptions to them.
