American Values
Q. Think about what you value the most and what America values the most. Do they match? why or why not? use what you know, what your classmates have said and what your family says.
A. The values that my family and I have are completely different from the values of America. I know that America values money and power. Those are things that I think are just to keep the countries name in its place. This is something that may be value to other people but not to all Americans. From what I believe money always comes and goes. The power that America wants is power that makes people go against each other all the time and this might be what is getting America in trouble.
What I value the most is education and religion this is what my parents showed me and what they think is valuable too. Education is my most valuable thing because I put effort into it and get knowledge out of it this is like a give and get thing. America puts little attention to education and I think that is what makes Americans not understand each other. My family has always said that money comes and goes but that education stays forever. I think America has different values because it makes sure to have the needs to reach Americans different values so they might be making sure that we keep what we have.
My classmates and I have similar values they all have to do with family traditions and culture that we like to keep in the family for ever. They are all different from American traditions because we worry about our tomorrow and our today. We all have same values but explain them in different ways and this made me feel stronger about how I feel about my strong and weak values. Most of us come from the same ethnic groups so this makes us combine our similar values but in different ways. The things that we value the least are depending on our economy and on what we respect in our family. We share similar values because we know how hard it is to get things in our lives and other rich Americans don’t so we our the ones that suffer the consequences. They don’t consider what the poor would struggle if they race the money on schools because we are the ones working for it not them.

Mayra are values are based on parents and where we came from, but are also based on OUR beliefs and personal experinces. You mention that you value religion, why? What does it mean to you? What do you say to those who don't believe in religion? Mayra have you thought that the rich Americans haven't seen or experinced what poor or middle class have and that's why they act they way they do and value the things you said?
NOOOO! I agree with you half way. Education to is really importnat. Like that we can make a good living.Religion to me is another thing. I dont believe in god or any savior.
Hi! I think that u should have made ur family one of ur values because u seem to talk about them a lot in ur opening paragraph and so on. Instead of using the word “like” u can use “similar to”. Also stop saying “thing” there are a lot of words for example in second paragraph, second line u can use “a give and get situation”. What r some of the family traditions u would like to keep in ur family forever. Then explain y u think so. Finally use commas u have some run on sentences.
U are so right that "money comes and goes but educations stays forever".That is because education helps you to be a better person in the future as like to find a good job. And keep on putting more effort into ur education.
Love ya, Erika!
