Question:
According to Kohls, the dominant American cultural patterns include personal control over the environment, change, time and its control, equality, individual-ism/privacy, self-help, competition, future orientation, action/work orientation, informality, directness/openness/honesty, practicality/efficiency, and materialism/acquisitiveness. Arguably, any value taken to an absolute extreme is likely to seem logically absurd. In this elaboration you will examine the values of the dominant culture in the U.S. Specifically, the values include the following:
- Individualism
- Equal opportunity
- Material acquisition
- Science and technology
- Progress and change
- Work and play
- Competitive nature
identify and interpret each value in a negative way, as well as a positive one.
Identify five additional "common values" and engage in the same process of identifying positive and negative aspects of the value. Then analyze these values from a co-culture-how might they be perceived? What are some limitations and opportunities a different culture may perceive from these values? How would you guard against the negative manifestations of the values without compromising the value itself.
