TYPES OF FRIENDSHIPS IN US (NEW YORK TIMES)
Americans are thought to be suffering a loss in the quality and quantity of close friendships since at least 1985 (American Sociological Review ).
The study states 25% of Americans have no close confidants, and the average total number of confidants per citizen has dropped from 4 to 2.
Reasons: the shortage of time & numerous commitment to family, work…
Thus, Americans have casual, friendly relationships with many people, but closer friendships with only a few.

41% of American women ages 15-44 have cohabited.
In 2001, in the United States 8.2% of couples were calculated to be cohabiting, majority of them were in the West Coast and Northeastern United areas.
In 2005, the U.S. Census Bureau reported 4.85 million cohabiting couples, up more than ten times from 1960, when there were 439,000 such couples.
REASONS FOR COHABITATION
Testing compatibility or establishing financial security before marrying.
Cohabiting couples do not have to seek legal or religious permission to form or dissolve their union.
Many cohabit to share living expenses, to avoid loneliness or in response to social pressure to find a mate.
Cohabitation is an attempt to avoid the painful experiences of being raised in a broken home.

RESULTS OF COHABITATION

Cohabiting women are more likely than married women to suffer physical and sexual abuse.
Cohabitation brings increased conflict and aggression as well as increased chance of divorce in later marriages.

Overall rates of violence among cohabiters were double that of marriage.

Discussion Question
An American is a close friend of a Russian immigrant. The person from Russia asked American to co-sign a loan, in other words, the American’s signature would indicate a willingness to pay back a loan to a bank if the Russian immigrant was not able to do so.
In this case, if you were that American what would you do? Why?
Have you ever had an experience with an American or someone else from another culture where each of you had different expectations of the friendship?
