It discusses how Americans value independence, taking responsibility for one's own success through competing fairly, accumulating wealth through natural resources and diligence, and separating church and state.

Editor's Notes
- Fair: a person does not win just because he/she was born into a wealthy family or lose because of race or religion
- Held by public schools and community groups
- Going from rags to riches
- The Americans do have other values and ideals
- Equality of opportunity and self-reliance may not be always put into practice. Some have better chance for success: Born into rich families Many black people have fewer opportunities than the White Many women have fewer opportunities than men Today immigrants have fewer opportunities than those who came before them (when the economy was growing fast, many high-paying factory jobs)
