It's up to you
An individual can, and should, create and re-create his or her own identity
by the choices he or she makes. Self-reliance and personal initiative, it is
believed, bring about "the greatest good for the greatest number." One has
to take risks to succeed: "Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

US Americans may move frequently during their lives, separating
themselves from family, friends, and home to attend school, accept or seek
employment, or explore new opportunities.

Ideally, one is judged by what one does rather than for who one is. This
individual focus may result in a high degree of competitiveness compared
with some other cultures, with stress on being a "winner" and not a "loser."

US Americans generally believe that they are masters of their destiny; they
must take individual action to succeed. To be "in control" of one's life
means to manage it in a way that brings success to the individual.

US Americans like systems and products that enable them to do things on
their own: "empowerment" is a popular term among US managers.
Progress tends to be viewed as linear and upward. Successful careers
should mean steady promotions and pay raises. A company should always
be growing, the economy always expanding.

The US American sense of equality is seen in everyday behavior.
People tend to be open, informal, and friendly. People expect to be treated
fairly and professionally regardless of their background.
Politicians and business executives emphasize their humble origins to
demonstrate that they still maintain the values of "everyday" people. While
social and economic equality are ongoing struggles of US democracy, its
history is full of individuals and groups who have struggled to achieve equal
rights in society.
Though there is a large gap between rich and poor in the US, many people
still believe that equal opportunity, ingenuity, and hard work are the best
ways to guarantee a classless democracy. Laws and policies are directed at

Stimulated by continual advertising and goaded by the fear of "not making
it," people may work more than one job to succeed. Many shops,
restaurants and grocery stores are open for business seven days a week,
24 hours a day. And due to globalization and technology, Americans are
often "logging on" after hours and working longer.
In prosperous times, going into business, shopping, and spending money
are seen as virtuous and even patriotic activities because they support the
economy and the national purpose. The sanctity of private property is
shown in resistance to increased taxation, and the reluctance to provide as
many public services as some other industrialized nations.

do not deserve it.
On the other hand, they encourage philanthropy, generous gifts of money

US American Values Lens
Click on each value and then on the tabs above to learn more.
Based on the idea of equality, US Americans believe it is important to
create rules and laws to provide protection for all citizens. A basic tenant of
the democracy is "equal protection under the law."
Given the diversity that exists within the USA, rules clarify acceptable
behavior. Many US people don't feel comfortable unless they are acting
within the law, following rules and guidelines. Yet they may feel entitled to
look for, and utilize, legal "loopholes" that are to their advantage.

Although relatively expensive for the average person, US Americans may
consult with lawyers when they feel mistreated by other family members,
neighbors, schools, churches, or businesses. As a result of various lawsuits,
there are lengthy disclaimers of legal responsibility on products, books, and
even on some e-mails.
