23. Values
•Independence. Americans strongly believe in the concept of individualism. They
consider themselves to be separate individuals who are in control of their own lives,
rather than members of a close-knit, interdependent family, religious group, tribe, nation,
or other group.
•Equality. The American Declaration of Independence states that “all [people] are created
equal,” and this belief is deeply embedded in their cultural values. Americans believe that
all people are of equal standing, and are therefore uncomfortable with overt displays of
respect such as being bowed to.
•Informality. This belief in equality causes Americans to be rather informal in their
behavior towards other people. Don’t be surprised if store clerks and waiters introduce
themselves by their first names. Many people visiting the US are surprised by the
informality of American speech, dress, and posture. Don’t mistake this for rudeness or
irreverence; it’s just a part of their culture!
•Directness. Americans tend to value, frankness and openness in their dealings with
other people. They believe that conflicts and disagreements are best solved by means of
forthright discussion among the people involved. Americans believe that if someone has a
problem with someone else, they should tell the person clearly and directly in order to
come up with a solution to the problem.
