Many song lyrics have to do with getting money and being above the "haters". For example, every other line is this song such as, "Adding up checks, no minus"
"Get your respect in diamonds (ice, ice, ice, ice, ice, ice)"
"Private life, private jets 'round the globe (private life)"]]> 2019-02-06 19:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/191brennera/eodjacjcxgjk/wish/328453011 191orleanse https://padlet.com/191brennera/eodjacjcxgjk/wish/328454691 I believe that currently, Americans do not have a very intuitive mindset in regards to science. There is a plethora of scientific evidence for global warming, yet President Trump and his supporters disregard this evidence. ]]> 2019-02-06 19:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/191brennera/eodjacjcxgjk/wish/328454691 191brennera https://padlet.com/191brennera/eodjacjcxgjk/wish/328457762 With this generation, doing nothing to get the max amount of money is idealized. There is a plethora of Instagram and Youtube stars that are paid to simply to endorse a brand to their followers. This has caused those who are not already famous to improve their image and to get more popular in order for these brands to reach out with cash. For example, Trisha Paytas, simply posts videos of her online either eating food or doing silly challenges with friends. Though funny, that does not explain her net worth of 4 million. ]]> 2019-02-06 19:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/191brennera/eodjacjcxgjk/wish/328457762 191orleanse https://padlet.com/191brennera/eodjacjcxgjk/wish/328459134 I do agree that Americans expect material comfort. Americans appreciate material possessions and feel the need to show off all they can afford. There is an irrational fear amongst youth of not being updated with the trends, regardless of cost.

Yet there is an equally as loud opposite side such as Alt-right and other traditional thinkers that still think that white prevails over all. An example of this is the battle in Charlottesville where people were protesting the notion of white privilege and an alt-right supporter drove a car through the crowd. ]]> 2019-02-06 19:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/191brennera/eodjacjcxgjk/wish/328461420 191orleanse https://padlet.com/191brennera/eodjacjcxgjk/wish/328465343 I agree that Americans are generally philanthropic people. Americans value charity and giving, as seen in many non profit organizations in our country, as well as larger corporations that give back to less fortunate people. Recently, the mall of America donated food, blankets, and hand warmers. ]]> 2019-02-06 19:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/191brennera/eodjacjcxgjk/wish/328465343 191brennera https://padlet.com/191brennera/eodjacjcxgjk/wish/328468872 In today's world, Americans from every age group use social media to boast. Whether it's about how great Brenda's son did at a Toddler soccer game, or how fabulous Britney's trip to Paris was. Getting positive feedback from as many people as possible is ideal. ]]> 2019-02-06 19:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/191brennera/eodjacjcxgjk/wish/328468872 191orleanse https://padlet.com/191brennera/eodjacjcxgjk/wish/328469657 Although Americans have come a long way in terms of acceptance in our diverse society, there is still so much we need to work on. There especially a lot of discrimination in the workforce towards women and people of color.
