Americans seem to be hopelessly divided. We just can't stop arguing. But now, based on new research at the University of Michigan, sociologist Dr. Wayne Baker shows us that a broad common ground still exists in America. In his new book, Dr. Baker shows how we are united by Ten Core Values, which we have held for a long time-despite our differences in age, race, income or political leaning. Let's use this common ground to start a whole new nationwide dialogue!

Core Values

What do you think of when you think of freedom? Do you believe all people deserve respect? These might seem like obvious core values, but take a moment to consider that many of these values are so ingrained in American society that what may be obvious for one culture may not reflect similarly in another.

What do you value most in life? Do you want to accomplish things and grow, get ahead? What would you trade for assured security? If you've found yourself asking these questions in your daily life, you're not alone. Millions of Americans grapple with value issues. In United America, Dr. Baker provides the answers: what millions of Americans actually think, value and prioritize in regards to their most core beliefs.

United America is suitable for any setting. Every section ends with several discussion questions, either for self-reflection or to provoke a discussion in your book club, organization, congregation or classroom.

An Accessible Read

"There are two kinds of numbers in the book," Dr. Baker likes to say, "Page numbers and once in a while, I'll give you some percentages." These percentages come from several years of rigorous research Dr. Baker conducted at the University of Michigan's prestigious Institute for Social Research. But, this book is not written for academics. In this book, Dr. Baker strips away the technical jargon involved in this ground-breaking research to hand you the facts you need to understand the depth and breadth of these core values. In this book, Dr. Baker hands you the tools you need to understand just how many Americans agree with you on your favorite issues. Dr. Baker explains each Core America Value through a combination of history, current events and personal anecdotes.

About the research

United America is unique. It's different than the many manifestos published by political activists, because United America is based on years of scientific research at one of the nation's leading universities. Dr. Wayne Baker's finding that 10 core values unite the vast majority of Americans is a startling conclusion, drawn from rigorous nationwide research. These ten core values were identified from data collected in four nationally representative surveys administered over a two-year period by the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research (ISR), the world's premier survey research organization. The surveys were funded in part by the ISR and the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Dr. Baker and his team designed their survey questionnaire after in-depth analysis of past research methods, followed by extensive pre-survey research with focus groups, cognitive interviews, and pilot tests. The data was analyzed with a battery of statistical techniques to ensure the validity and reliability of the results.

Heartless passers-by have been branded bad Samaritans after nobody stopped to help an 83-year-old woman who was left with two black eyes and a broken nose after falling in the street.

Helpless Joan Veysey called to people on Rope Walk for aid after she tripped on uneven pavement.

Left in the middle of the street for almost 10 minutes, Joan suffered a broken nose and two severely bruised eye sockets.

Eventually, she picked herself up and struggled to reach a neighbour's house, from where she was taken to hospital.

"We are hurt, angry and disgusted," said Joan's daughter, Dena Martindale.

"Falling is quite an ordeal for someone of any age, but the fact that nobody helped her has sickened the family.

"Thank goodness my mother is determined and strong-willed and managed to find her own help."

Dena said her mum is usually steady on her feet and regularly makes short trips around the St John's Street area of Bedford despite being diagnosed with bowel cancer last October.

Dena continued: "A frail and injured person is not a threat to anyone and the majority of us carry a mobile phone, so why didn't someone call for help?"

Joanne Martindale, Joan's youngest daughter, added: "If we found ourselves in the same situation we would have pulled over or parked somewhere and gone to help. "We hope that others don't experience the same treatment, we're disgusted with the people of Bedford."

The effects of being placed in lower bands/streams was researched by Paul Lacey (1970) in his study of Hightown Grammar School which sowed how streaming can lead to the formation of anti-school subcultures. Paul Willis (1997) also researched the effects of streaming/banding in his book 'Learning to Labour'.

Paul Willis' study is still relevant today as there's a persistence of counter school cultures in contemporary societies despite the 'drying-up' of manual labouring jobs. You only have to think of the number of NEETS and the increasing number of white working-class males failing school.

Paul Willis' 'Learning to Labour' is a significant study for two reasons. Firstly his research followed a group of lads in the 1970s that rejected school and all its values and instead focused on leaving school as soon as they could.

In the meantime while they did attend school they spent most of their time trying to disrupt or avoid lessons or just generally messing about in order to shake themselves free of any control the school could impose on them.

Willis argued these lads had consciously developed an anti-school or counter school subculture. By being in a subculture the bottom-stream pupils can raise their self-esteem by gaining status in front of their peers.

Disrupting lessons, playing up to teachers and breaking as many rules as they can is their way of getting back at the system which has labelled them as failures.

The second important point with Willis's work is it helps address some of the weakness in Marxist approaches to education. Althusser and Bowles and Ginitis argue schools prepare children for work, as if they're docile beings simply doing as they're told and being processed for the 'long shadow of work'. Willis (a neo-Marxist) points out that these 'lads' consciously turn away from school and seek semi-skilled or unskilled work rather than being 'forced' into it as traditional Marxists suggest.

In contrast to the conventional sociological view of the time that saw the education system 'failing' working class youth, Willis argued that the lads he observed were deliberately failing themselves in recognition of the inevitable manual working future that awaited them. They were growing up in working class districts and knew no matter what teachers told them they would end up having working class jobs so with this fatalism in their minds they thought they might as well 'enjoy' school!

The book was ground breaking in its day because it was the first major educational study to link culture and social action to wider structural processes. While most sociological studies of the 1960s, 70s and 80s saw educational failures as passive victims of socialisation, social deprivation or unfavourable labelling by the school, Willis' work painted a different picture of some working class children actively failing themselves by developing cultures of resistance in opposition to schooling.

Willis showed that the education system was failing to produce ideal compliant workers for the capitalist system. Rather the lads' counter school culture contained some perceptive insights into the nature of capitalism for workers.

The lads recognise that there are no equal opportunities under capitalism and no matter how hard they work their chances of success remain far lower than those of the middle class pupils. They can see through the careers advice given at school and know that even if they were to work really hard the chances of getting a professional or desk job are very low.

There is a recognition that individual effort is likely to achieve little in terms of future prospects and a strong investment in a male working class peer group. Paul Willis argues there's a persistence of counter school cultures in contemporary societies in spite of the drying up of manual labouring jobs you only have to think of the number of NEETS and the increasing number of white working-class males failing school.

China is an extremely large country - first in population and fifth in area, according to the CIA - and the customs and traditions of its people vary by geography and ethnicity.

About 1.4 billion people live in China, according to the World Bank, representing 56 ethnic minority groups. The largest group is the Han Chinese, with about 900 million people. Other groups include the Tibetans, the Mongols, the Manchus, the Naxi, and the Hezhen, which is smallest group, with fewer than 2,000 people.

"Significantly, individuals within communities create their own culture," said Cristina De Rossi, an anthropologist at Barnet and Southgate College in London. Culture includes religion, food, style, language, marriage, music, morals and many other things that make up how a group acts and interacts. Here is a brief overview of some elements of the Chinese culture.

The Chinese Communist Party that rules the nation is officially atheist, though it is gradually becoming more tolerant of religions, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. Currently, there are only five official religions. Any religion other than Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Catholicism and Protestantism are illegal, even though the Chinese constitution states that people are allowed freedom of religion. The gradual tolerance of religion has only started to progress in the past few decades.

About a quarter of the people practice Taoism and Confucianism and other traditional religions. There are also small numbers of Buddhists, Muslims and Christians. Although numerous Protestant and Catholic ministries have been active in the country since the early 19th century, they have made little progress in converting Chinese to these religions.

The cremated remains of someone who may have been the Buddha were discovered in Jingchuan County, China, with more than 260 Buddhist statues in late 2017. Buddha was a spiritual teacher who lived between mid-6th and mid-4th centuries B.C. His lessons founded Buddhism. [ Cremated Remains of the 'Buddha' Discovered in Chinese Village]

There are seven major groups of dialects of the Chinese language, which each have their own variations, according to Mount Holyoke College. Mandarin dialects are spoken by 71.5 percent of the population, followed by Wu (8.5 percent), Yue (also called Cantonese; 5 percent), Xiang (4.8 percent), Min (4.1 percent), Hakka (3.7 percent) and Gan (2.4 percent).

Chinese dialects are very different, according to Jerry Norman, a former professor of linguistics at the University of Washington and author of " Chinese (Cambridge Language Surveys)" (Cambridge University Press, 1988). "Chinese is rather more like a language family than a single language made up of a number of regional forms," he wrote. "The Chinese dialectal complex is in many ways analogous to the Romance language family in Europe. To take an extreme example, there is probably as much difference between the dialects of Peking [Beijing] and Chaozhou as there is between Italian and French."

The official national language of China is Pŭtōnghuà, a type of Mandarin spoken in the capital Beijing, according to the Order of the President of the People's Republic of China. Many Chinese are also fluent in English.

Like other aspects of Chinese life, cuisine is heavily influenced by geography and ethnic diversity. Among the main styles of Chinese cooking are Cantonese, which features stir-fried dishes, and Szechuan, which relies heavily on use of peanuts, sesame paste and ginger and is known for its spiciness.

Rice is not only a major food source in China; it is also a major element that helped grow their society, according to " Pathways to Asian Civilizations: Tracing the Origins and Spread of Rice and Rice Cultures," an 2011 article in the journal Rice by Dorian Q. Fuller. The Chinese word for rice is fan, which also means "meal," and it is a staple of their diet, as are bean sprouts, cabbage and scallions. Because they do not consume a lot of meat - occasionally pork or chicken - tofu is a main source of protein for the Chinese.

Chinese art is greatly influenced by the country's rich spiritual and mystical history. Many sculptures and paintings depict spiritual figures of Buddhism, according to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Many musical instruments are integral to Chinese culture, including the flute-like xun and the guqin, which is in the zither family.

Eastern-style martial arts were also developed in China, and it is the birthplace of kung fu. This fighting technique is based on animal movements and was created in the mid-1600s, according to Black Belt Magazine.

Ancient Chinese were avid writers and philosophers - especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties - and that is reflected in the country's rich liturgical history.

Recently, archaeologists discovered detailed paintings in a 1,400-year-old tomb in China. "The murals of this tomb had diversified motifs and rich connotations, many of which cannot be found in other tombs of the same period," a team of archaeologists wrote in an article recently published in a 2017 issue of the journal Chinese Archaeology. [ Ancient Tomb with 'Blue Monster' Mural Discovered in China]

China has invested large amounts of money in science advancements and currently challenges the United States in scientific research. China spent 75 percent of what the United States spent in 2015, according to the journal JCI Insight.

One recent 2017 development in Chinese science is teleportation. Chinese researchers sent a packet of information from Tibet to a satellite in orbit, up to 870 miles (1,400 kilometers) above the Earth's surface, which is a new record for quantum teleportation distance. [ Chinese Scientists Just Set the Record for the Farthest Quantum Teleportation]

Another 2017 advancement is the development of new bullet trains. Dubbed "Fuxing," which means "rejuvenation," these trains are high-speed transportation systems that run between Beijing and Shanghai. The trains can travel at speeds of up to 350 km/h (217 mph), making them the world's fastest trains. [ China's 'Rejuvenation' Bullet Trains Are the World's Fastest]

The largest festival - also called the Spring Festival - marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year. It falls between mid-January and mid-February and is a time to honor ancestors. During the 15-day celebration, the Chinese do something every day to welcome the new year, such as eat rice congee and mustard greens to cleanse the body, according to the University of Victoria. The holiday is marked with fireworks and parades featuring dancers dressed as dragons.

Many people make pilgrimages to Confucius' birthplace in Shandong Province on his birthday, Sept. 28. The birthday of Guanyin, the goddess of mercy, is observed by visiting Taoist temples. It falls between late March and late April. Similar celebrations mark the birthday of Mazu, the goddess of the sea (also known as Tianhou), in May or June. The Moon Festival is celebrated in September or October with fireworks, paper lanterns and moon gazing.

The former Baywatch star, 62, is selling his Calabasas, California, home

The property includes five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a pool

Celebrity neighbors include Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Stevie Wonder

Anyone with an appreciation for David Hasselhoff and a spare $2.3 million dollars now has the chance to live in the former Baywatch star's home, as the actor has put his sprawling California mansion up for sale.

The 5,767-square-foot home boasts five bedrooms, six bathrooms, and a pool - as well as a roster of A-list neighbors including Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Stevie Wonder, Miley Cyrus, and Selena Gomez.

The Hoff, 62, is hoping to make a tidy profit from the sale; Variety reports that he bought the home in May of 2013 for $1.95 million.

Built in 1990, the two-story house is located in the guard-gated Hidden Hills West Estates community in Calabasas, California.

Notable features of the mostly beige and ivory-colored interior include a curved staircase, a fireplace, a family room with a wet bar, and private verandas attached to two of the bedrooms.

It is situated on 1.53 acres of land, and the yard comes complete with a half-court basketball court, a 'free-form' pool, a built-in grill, and palm trees.

David's property is actually one of the more modest pieces of celebrity real estate within the community.

Last year, Selena Gomez shelled out a reported $3 million for her 7,200-square-foot Hidden Hills home, while Miley Cyrus just purchased a 6,500-square-foot house with a vineyard and wine cellar, a 10-stall barn, and vegetable and citrus gardens for more than $4 million.

Even more impressive, Kim and Kanye's $20 million, 15,667-square-foot mansion includes eight bedrooms, ten bathrooms, ten fireplaces, two pools, and two vineyards.

David may have chosen to sell the home in order to move to the UK with his Welsh girlfriend, 35-year-old Hayley Roberts, the Mirror speculates.

Haley, whom David met while filming Britain's Got Talent in Cardiff, Wales in 2011, has spoken out about wanting to return home since moving to California.

'I want to move back, so I will have to make David move,' she has said. 'It is home to me. Maybe we'll move in two or three years time, we'll have to see'

Japanese food, called washoku in Japan, has just been registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, but you didn't need an official declaration to know that sushi and tempura are absolutely delicious. But while enjoying Japanese food, have you ever mixed wasabi and soy sauce as a dip for your sushi? Or how about using your bowl as a chopstick rest? If so, you've committed an etiquette faux pas. Take a look at our list of 10 little-known rules for eating Japanese food and save yourself some embarrassment while enjoying a traditional Japanese meal.
1) Never use your hand to catch falling food
Image: Oshiete Takachan

Cupping your left hand under your food to catch any falling morsels or drippings is actually bad manners. Using tezara (手皿), literally "hand plate," may seem polite, eliminating any errant spills or stains on the table top or your clothing, but this common eating habit should be avoided when sitting down to a Japanese meal.
2) Avoid using your teeth to bite food in half
In general, you should always try to eat things in one bite and avoid using your teeth to tear food into smaller pieces. Since it's impolite to place half-eaten food back on a plate, cover your mouth with your hand when chewing big pieces of food.
3) Never mix wasabi into your soy sauce Image: Wikipedia
This improper eating method is seen in many restaurants all over the world, but should be avoided. Instead, place a small amount of wasabi directly on the piece of sashimi and then dip the fish into the soy sauce.
4) Don't invert the lid of your bowl
Inverting the lid of your bowl is mistaken as a cue for being finished eating, however, the proper cue is to replace the lid on top of the bowl, just as it looked when brought to the table. This is because you could damage the lid by turning it upside down.
5) Don't place clam shells in the bowl's lid or on a separate plate
When served clams or other shellfish, many people tend to put the empty shell in the lid of a bowl or on a separate plate once they've finished the meat. This is actually impolite and should be avoided; diners should instead leave the shell inside the bowl it was served in.
6) Don't hold your chopsticks before picking up your bowl
When eating a Japanese meal, you should first pick up the bowl or vessel you will eat from and then pick up your chopsticks. When changing bowls, first put down your chopsticks, then change bowls. Only after you have picked up the second bowl should you pick up your chopsticks again.
7) Don't hover or touch food without taking it, and always pause to eat your rice Image: Aladin
Not sure which food to eat first? Hovering your chopsticks back and forth over the side dishes before finally choosing is a breach of etiquette. It's such bad manners that the practice has an official name, mayoibashi (迷い箸), literally "hesitating chopsticks." Touching a food with your own chopsticks and then pulling them away without taking anything is called sorabashi (空箸), or "empty chopsticks," and should also be avoided. You better pause to eat some rice between those side dishes, if you don't you are committing utsuribashi (移り箸), literally "transition chopsticks."
8) Never rest your chopsticks across the top of your bowl
You've probably seen this done so many times it seems like the correct thing to do, but using your bowl as a chopstick rest is a breach of etiquette. If you want to put down your chopsticks, you should do so on a chopstick rest, or hashioki (箸置き). If none are available, use the wrapper the chopsticks came in to make your own. If a wrapper isn't available, you should rest your chopsticks on the side of a tray or other similar item on the table.
9) Don't use the opposite end of your chopsticks to take food from a communal plate
Since the backsides of the chopsticks are where your hands rest, it's actually not a very clean area and shouldn't be used to pick up food. Asking the waitstaff for an extra pair of chopsticks or politely saying, jika bashi de shitsurei shimasu (excuse me for using my own chopsticks), and taking food using your chopsticks is actually the proper thing to do.
10) Never raise your food above your mouth
Many people raise their food to about eye level while saying, itadakimasu before eating. However, proper etiquette states that you should never raise your food above your mouth, the highest level your chopsticks ever reach.
***Bonus***
Many people already know this, but you should never raise chopsticks to your mouth that are dripping with soup or liquid and never stab food with your chopsticks. You should also never leave your chopsticks standing straight out of your rice or pass food between chopsticks as these are reminiscent of funeral customs and seen as a bad omen if performed anywhere else.

Some of these etiquette rules are unknown to many people in Japan, so don't feel bad if you've accidentally committed any of the following Japanese-food-eating sins. But do keep them in mind; maybe you'll impress your friends with your knowledge of the proper way to eat in Japan.
