   From the cases analyzed in the thesis, we can draw a conclusion that individualism, domain concept, privacy taboo are the major causes of the American personal privacy culture. Americans emphasize the importance of individual privacy. They learn to protect their own privacy from the very early age. Partly, individualism due to American society becomes an “I” society. Everybody stresses on the things they can do by themselves, and seldom asks for help from others. They see their own time, space, activity area as possession because of the domain concept. Privacy taboo language has many touchy topics. If one does not want others think he interfere them, he should know about the privacy taboo of their culture. Understanding the causes of the American personal privacy culture can make us not only have a better picture of American culture, but also avoid some misapprehension in communicating with them. 

   In order to have the better picture of American personal privacy, people should make the comparison of privacy culture between America and other countries. After people know more about the difference, they will pay more attention to other’s privacy when they communicate with foreigners.
