I am also indebted to Mr. Mark Graber and Mrs. Janet Pardo for their friendship, support, and encouragement, as well as for their help in the proofreading. Acknowledgment is also extended to Mrs. Donna McElroy and Mrs. Sandy Carter who also helped me in the proofreading. As a classmate and a person with a great intercultural sensitivity, Donna also provided understanding and guidance. I am glad that she, my wife, and I went through the thesis process together and saw it to a successful conclusion. Rolando Salazar, my countryman, also deserves my acknowledgement. He has been a friend and a critic and his help has been of great value. Most importantly, I thank my wife who patiently listened to me even though she was also working on her thesis, and to my little daughter, Nien, who went to classes with us when she was weeks old and celebrated her second year without her parents, and to Jimen, my son, who had to finish high school without his father's support. To the rest of the family, especially those who gave us more than a moral support, the biggest thanks of all. I thank Mac and Susan Mccorkle. Without their love and support, everything would have been more difficult. I am proud to call them my American parents and that they call me their son. v
