Buddhism

       Buddhists believe people suffer because of their own desires. People want material things such as designer clothing and cars etc. this is what causes our suffering. (greed) In my opinion when you live in the United States you will always have to change yourself a little. When you believe in a religion such as Buddhism it may be hard to be yourself as you were in your country. United States is all about money and wealth. You are living "the American Dream" when you have an amazing job, a beautiful house, and a pricey car.  Everything thinks about this life. This is what we go to college for, its to achieve this picture perfect life. In the United States it is hard to lay low and not show of what you have. We work in hopes that one day we will reach the status and success we have always hoped for.

     I think there are some people that will never change, it does not matter were they live. But for most people moving to the United States also means changing what you believe (sometimes just a little bit, sometimes a lot)
