Comparing American Values to Vulnerability with Your Sociological Imagination

Chris Salituro, Stevenson High School, [email protected]

Culture and U.S. Values

• Robin Williams• L. Robert Kohl

o The Values Americans Live By

• American Values vs. Other Cultures’ ValuesPersonal control/responsibility vs Fate/destinyChange seen as natural and positive/Progress vs. Stability/traditionTime and its control vs. Human InteractionEquality/fairness vs. Hierarchy/rank/statusIndividualism/independence/freedom vs. Group welfare/dependenceSelf-Help/initiative vs. Birthright/inheritanceCompetition vs. CooperationFuture orientation vs. Past orientationAction/work vs. “Being”Informality vs. FormalityDirectness/openness/Honesty vs. Indirectness/ritual/”face”Practicality/efficiency vs. Idealism/theoryMaterialism/Acquisitiveness vs. Spiritualism/detachmentAchievement/Success vs. Acceptance/Status QuoMorality/judgement vs. Consequentialism/situational ethics

Robin Williams (The sociologist, not the actor), studied American culture in the 1970s and came up with his own list of values, which is largely still applicable today.

Use a Case Study

• Tuesdays with Morrie• God Grew Tired of Us• Bemused in America

Chris Salituro, Stevenson High School, [email protected]

Apply to Student’s Life

• Make it experiential.• Close your eyes. Think of someone influential in

your life. Now write down who you thought about and why you thought about that person.

• Now take out your cell phones and call that person and read what you wrote.

For Discussion

• How might American values of freedom, independence, individualism and personal control make it difficult to admit that we are dependent on other people?

• Why might this unwillingness make it difficult to complete the exercise?
