College Classwork: Intro to Sociology
What are the most important American values in your everyday
life? Explain your choices.
The most influential American values seen throughout the
country (i.e. family, generosity, education, freedom, etc.) have come to change
meaning throughout the "coming of America." Just in my life many of the
set American ways and values from my childhood are no longer the norm. These are
heavily changing times that I am certain will be documented by study in
history. Education is the most important American value in my book, but speaking
of books, where you get this education has been increasingly important. History
especially I see as being very significant as to where your information comes
from. I have had the opportunity to read several American History books. The
span of time for the books published was 50 years; all of these books covered
the Revolutionary War and the Civil War (of course) and also the eras of WW1
and WW2. I found the discrepancies to be varied and wide at times on crucial truths.
I found that the more sources I accessed, the greater an understanding I
gained. Knowledge truly is power.
