Care is an essential need for human beings, especially students who spend extensive time at school. The goal of this study is to qualitatively explore Saudi university students’ perceptions of teacher care in the US. Fourteen male and female Saudi students at a large Midwestern US university were interviewed. This study offers a literature review about Saudi students’ cultural backgrounds, which make studying their educational experiences more understandable. Several themes emerged from the research data including cultural differences, learning a new language, help and support, making connections, and caring teachers as role models. Recommendations for US American teachers, Saudi Ministry of Education, and future research are offered.

Ce mémoire porte sur la deuxième génération issue de l’immigration, plus précisément sur ces Québécois dont les parents sont issus de l’immigration algérienne des années 90. Cette vague d’immigration offre un cadre légitime pour se pencher sur la deuxième génération, car les parents de ces Québécois ont immigré dans une temporalité et une géographie données, tout en provenant d’un même milieu social. Ce faisant, ces Québécois ont été socialisés à travers deux ensembles culturels, celui du Québec et celui de leurs parents. Ces deux ensembles peuvent sembler contradictoires ou en tension concernant les normes et les valeurs qui guident et encadrent la vie de ces derniers. Ce mémoire s’est donc intéressé à comprendre comment ces enfants, qui ont grandi au Québec, composent avec les attentes de leurs parents concernant le respect des valeurs et des traditions familiales et religieuses. Pour ce faire, nous allons explorer deux grandes thématiques. La première va se focaliser sur la relation de ces Québécois avec leur histoire familiale. La deuxième va se concentrer sur le positionnement de ces derniers vis-à-vis de différentes dynamiques familiales (école, religion et interdits). / This thesis investigates second-generation immigrants, more precisely the Quebecers whose parents are from Algerian immigration from the 90s. This wave of immigration offers a legitimate framework to examine the second generation, because the parents of these Quebecers immigrated in a given temporality and geography, while also coming from the same social background. Thus, these Quebecers were socialized through two cultural groups, that is, that of Quebec and that of their parents. These two groups may seem in contradiction or in tension regarding the social norms and values that guide and frame their lives. This thesis is therefore interested in understanding how this new generation, who grew up in Quebec, deal with their parents’ expectations regarding the respect of family and religious values and traditions. To do so, we will explore two main themes. The first one focuses on the relationship between these Quebecers and their family history. The second one focuses on the position held by these Quebecers regarding different family dynamics (school, religion, what is forbidden). / اخترت فى هذا البحث التحدث عن الجيل الثاني للهجرة من اصل جزائري في حقيقة الأمر سوف أحاول مناقشة بعض الامور التي تخص ابناء المهاجرين خلال فترة التسعينيات ‘’90’’هده الموجة من الهجرة المقننة تدفعنا الى الاهتمام بالجيل الثاني لهده الفئة وأعني بدلك أبناء الجيل الاول ومن البديهي والمعقول ان يكون اختلاف بين الاباء والابناء . عاشوا ظروفا مختلفة عن الابناء اللذين ازدادوا في (Québec)هدا الاختلاف يتجلى في بعض المجلات:جغرافيًا ،عادات و تقاليد وايضا الجانب الديني مما يجعلنا نلاحظ ان الجيل الثاني يعيش ثقافتين مختلفتين في نفس الوقت:الثقافة الجزائرية فى البيت بكل مكونتها الاجتماعية والدينية اضافة الى ما يعيشه الجيل الثاني في المجتمع الكبيكى وأقصد بدلك الشارع العام ،المدرسة و العمل ة،المناخ العام. فهدا الموضوع مركز على إبراز كيفية التعايش الجيل الثاني مع العادات ،التقاليد والتعامل الاجتماعية ،الثقافية والدينية داخل البيت وخارجه
