lower than in places less culturally diverse like Montana (The Mumford Center 2011).
Therefore, by enhancing the strength of the whole country, the multicultural environment
brings effective convenience and influence to the police in managing community stability.
Application in Chinese international students
By analyzing the causes of discrimination from both police’s side and African-American
teenager’s side, the reasonable and reliable citizen-police connection should be estab-
lished to solve the root of racial problems. I still want to reiterate my position that as an
outsider and a prospective international student, my standpoint that the reciprocal relation-
ship between African-Americans and the police maintains the social safety and develop-
ment under racial tensions in the United States only applies to the analysis of the above
literature. For international students, both their subjective factors and external environ-
ment affect the reactions to against racial discrimination in the United States (Hülya P10).
I intend to help Chinese international students better adapt to the new environment under
minority group discrimination and establish a consistent relationship with the country. The
harmonious relationship between teenagers and police plays a role as a legitimate strategy
against racial discrimination.
Within the unfamiliar environment, the trust of the police and the sense of belong-
ing to society helps international students to better adapt to cultural differences and new
groups. Before moving to a new country to study, in-depth and comprehensive investiga-
tion of local cultures helps Chinese students to examine their own behaviors according to
the patterns (Miller P27). Keeping the legal provisions in mind, especially when uncon-
trollable discrimination occurs, also remains you to react to social problems properly.
Because the police carries out the laws of country, “Chinese international students should
respect policeman’s impartiality to the law and their seriousness of security” (Brunson
P76). The mlticultural acceptance and mutual understanding consolidate the reciprocal
and reliable relationship between international students and the police.
In order to be responsible for our own actions, the evaluation and consciousness of
suitable reactions play an important role in establishing flexible and solid police-citizen
relationship. “International students improved in awareness of their emotions, learnt to
relate to difficult emotions more constructively, and regulated negative emotions more
effectively” (Hülya P1). The lack of international students’ academic knowledge often
occupies a large part of the discriminatory factors and has a negative impact on the
reasonable judgment of the police. Because of that, Chinese teenagers can accumulate
their relevant knowledge by experiencing different living environments and developing
