People go to work and try to get everything done the right way and quickly. Young kids try to win at whatever sport they're playing and it is considered an accomplishment to them. People value success because it can bring happiness and feeling accomplished.]]> 2018-09-20 18:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284091971 211friedmanc https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284094579 In America, people are always on the go and are consistently working hard. There is always chaos in public transportation. The train stations are always busy and the airports are always crowded. People are always speed walking on their phones and it causes stress and anger. This shows how values in America in activity and work are right. ]]> 2018-09-20 18:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284094579 211friedmanc https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284094904 Most Americans like to run errands during the day so they have family time at night. People wake up and are always on their time schedule and if they are running behind, it affects their day. This proves that efficiency and practality values in America are supported.]]> 2018-09-20 18:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284094904 191falkiewicza https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284095478 Progress in the US is always increasing because technology is always changing and improving peoples lives. Smartphones keep people organized every day. Technology has a great impact on societal values in the US because people use it every day. This proves that there is always progression in America. ]]> 2018-09-20 18:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284095478 211friedmanc https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284095710 Freedom is slightly restricted in the US. People are not allowed to do taboos without consequences such as serving time in prison or even dealing with the death penalty. Given the death penalty is illegal in most states, there are other ways to deal with these criminals. Americans value freedom because they go on about their day doing whatever they want without having to face any consequences. ]]> 2018-09-20 18:37:01 UTC https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284095710 191falkiewicza https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284095770 The values of education in our society's expectations have raised throughout the years. For public and private schools, starting in 1983, the GPA average was around 2.8. Now, in 2013, the GPA raised to almost a 3.2. The definition of an adequate education for most Americans have changed. Which also proves how educational expectations have risen in the US.  ]]> 2018-09-20 18:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284095770 191falkiewicza https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284096148 All of Me by John Legend is an example of values of love in the US. Although some songs do stress that love is just about sexy time rather than actual feelings towards the other person. In the song, the lyrics say, "How many times do I have to tell you even when you're crying you're beautiful too. The world is beating you down." This proves that not every guy wants sex but wants to feel affection. This proves how romantic love stereotypes are not always correct. ]]> 2018-09-20 18:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284096148 211friedmanc https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284096202 Gender equality in the US has slowly been improving over the years but is still off balanced. Women's March in Chicago reflects a statement that women and allys continue to be educated and fight for social justice and Women's rights. Over 300,000 people go and support every year. This shows that women value success and stand up for their beliefs.]]> 2018-09-20 18:37:49 UTC https://padlet.com/191falkiewicza/gayk252md1ca/wish/284096202
