The individual that I interviewed is a 18 year old, single male, first year college student. Who comes from a middle-class family living in the United States. He is the first generation of Asian-American from Thailand. He has a Buddhist background. I will call him "Joe" for this interview. Joe and I have a class together at Indiana University. We stayed after class to do the interview. I was not sure what to expect from the interview, but I did assume that our ideas about grief, death and after death were going to be very similar since he has been living in the United States for his whole life. Which I am a 22 year old, white, single female, middle-class, Christian background, from southern Indiana. But to my surprise we have many differences on ideas about grief, death, and after death.
