Anonymity in America is a psychological as well as a social situation which is alien to the traditional lifestyle in small communities in the Arab countries; there it is enough to mention one’s last name to gain respect and preferential Arab/Muslim Families in the United States 37 treatment, while in the United States one must follow another path to better social status, such as education, work, and wealth.

Within this system, in which issues are determined by others, the individual learns to be helpless as an individual, avoids personal initiative or challenges, and expects matters to be arranged by some external force. Put in other terms, Arabs/Muslims tend to have an external locus of control (Dwairy, 1998a).

People think, feel, and behave according to a priori determined standards.
