Why are American university students fine with sharing a room?

So yeah, never doing that again ever! I’d rather sleep in a fucking tent below a bridge! At least that allows some privacy! Sharing a room does not!

Hell, I grew up sharing a room with my (step-)sister for a while and frankly it was terrible! She got the side that didn’t have the fucking door and the fucking oil-fired-oven (the house didn’t have central-heating at first, my parents bought a house that was not up to modern standards and it took a while to fix it up!)…so next to my small bed (kid sized!) I had little room for anything! Hell, it was near “paradise” having that room to myself later on (sister got an almost equally large room in the attick that we rebuilt as additional living space!)

I don’t know!

From an axiology/value theory point of view, how can one say that a diverse society is better than a uniform one, especially given the negative effects of diversity (racism, sectarian conflict, problems arising from extreme cultural relativism)?
