This is shown throughout America today. Most every student wants to go to college and in order to get the highest paying jobs one needs to get extra years of schooling like med school or law school. Students get upset when they don't receive a desired grade which shows how Americans care and value education greatly. ]]> 2018-09-20 18:26:21 UTC https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284088736 211cohenle https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284088792 This value means that there is a high value on personal success and beating others. This is very evident in American culture today. Everyone wants to be the best and get the most wealth, power and prestige. This can be seem in a variety of examples including students competing for the best grades to go the best colleges. People also want success in sports to make the best teams and work to earn the most money and the highest position. ]]> 2018-09-20 18:26:26 UTC https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284088792 https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284088941 This value states that Americans expect people to work hard and to be busily engaged in some activity even when not at work. I mostly agree with this statement because a lot of the time, individuals feel pressured to be doing something productive at all times. Though I think that there is more room for free time than the value suggested, it true that people are expected to be busy. After researching, I found that the millennial generation specifically feels pressure to be extremely productive more than past generations did.]]> 2018-09-20 18:26:42 UTC https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284088941 https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284089056 Americans are passionate about applied science to control nature (tame rivers, harness winds) and develop new technology. Many people spend their careers hoping to further science by making a discovery not yet known by the world. Science goes back to Isaac Newton's laws of motion, then to the discovery of electricity, and to now when people develop new technology like complex Apple computers or phones. There have been large developments in science and technology due to the great amount of passion Americans have for it. ]]> 2018-09-20 18:26:53 UTC https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284089056 https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284089289 By this term, Americans refer to majority rule, to the right of everyone to express an opinion, and to representative government. When President Trump was elected, the majority of Americans voted for Clinton, the other candidate, however, Trump won because the majority of electoral college voted for Trump. This has happened in past elections as well where the popular vote has not matched up with electoral vote.]]> 2018-09-20 18:27:17 UTC https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284089289 https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284089492 Americans tend to expect some sort of material comfort whether it's something for their health or something like a phone to make them feel safe. The majority of teenagers and adults depend on their phones for everything. Many feel uncomfortable or feel like something is wrong when they don't have their phone in their hand. They use a phone as material comfort even if they aren't calling/ texting anyone or playing a game, but rather their phone comforts them just by being on them. ]]> 2018-09-20 18:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284089492 https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284099289 Americans emphasize helpfulness, personal kindness, aid in most disasters, and organized philanthropy. Recently Hurricane Florence destroyed North and South Carolina leaving many people without a home and other necessary resources. People throughout America donated their money to help their fellow Americans in need. ]]> 2018-09-20 18:43:33 UTC https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284099289 211cohenle https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284100061 This should we added to the values list because it is very important to society today. Americans spend hours watching Netflix and you tube. We also spend a lot of money to go to shows, concerts, movies, amusement parks, carnivals, water parks etc. It is obviously important to Americans that they have fun and get to relax and take a break from work and school. This needs to be a value because one of the amount of money and time Americans spend on entertainment.]]> 2018-09-20 18:45:06 UTC https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284100061 211cohenle https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284103402 2018-09-20 18:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/211cohenle/b4b5sitdi6w8/wish/284103402
