Remake of Sociology--yard sales by Holly Hales https://padlet.com/hhales/55efqqs3p161 why are yard sales great examples of American values? en-us 2017-02-13 13:52:53 UTC 2017-02-13 20:54:01 UTC hello@padlet.com http://mwpca.org/yahoo_site_admin1/assets/images/372B9B01-E4D3-488C-BD1E-13CAFCD9AC15.12054752_std.gif https://padlet.com/hhales/55efqqs3p161/wish/153565093 Yard sales are a demonstration of the Americans value of thrift, self-made profit, and community. Americans value a good deal--a cheap buy, which is often found at a yard sale instead of at high-end shopping malls for the same items. Americans value capitalism--Laisseiz-Faire economics, in which individuals may make a profit free of government intervention, which is seen in the tax-free transactions made through yard sales. Americans also highly value community; people coming together with their neighbors and exchanging goods and services(the very definition of a yard sale).]]> 2017-02-13 20:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hhales/55efqqs3p161/wish/153565093 222374 https://padlet.com/hhales/55efqqs3p161/wish/153568018 People sell the things that are no longer important to them]]> 2017-02-13 20:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hhales/55efqqs3p161/wish/153568018 https://padlet.com/hhales/55efqqs3p161/wish/153568089 Yard Sales show not only what people collect thinking it will be important or valuable and inevitably realize isn't, at least not to them.

People get to buy "new" things for cheap. Its a great thing to do.
