My Values


I have three main values. They are freedom of speech, education and family. I feel like freedom of speech is the most important one. That is what makes this country so great. Being able to speak your mind. Also we have brave men and women fighting for that right. Education is second important because we can get a better future. We work hard now to relax later in life. Family is my third important value. Without there support we might have given up a lot of times. I work hard to impress my parents and my older sister.

Most American values are money, power, and entertaintment. Since most American dreams are to be rich. Most people will do anything to be rich. Sometimes it is sad because you will see good people brought down. Power is a huge value to America. We want the world to be like America. Have a Bill of Rights, Constitution and laws like in here. This is one reason why we go to war. Entertaintment is some what of a value. That is why we have websites like Youtube and Myspace to see if we can find talent.

To me my values are way to different from America's values. America's value can make good people go bad. Fame and fortune can be taken away quickly. Too much power can corrupt a good soul. Freedom of speech, education, and family can never be taken away. I can trust that my values are always going to be there. I will fight to make sure I don't lose these values.

Ruben I honor your values. The values you have are probably those that almost everyone in the world values as well. However they might have a different opinion abut America and what their values. You should go deeper in your values and America and see what lies beyond the cover. Well good luck on the journey.

HEY I KNOW THAT THESE ARE REALLY IMPORTANT VALUES IN OUR LIVES AND I AGREE WITH YOU BECAUSE IF WE DIDNT HAVE THAT WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN SLAVES RIGHT NOW TOO! BUT LUCKILY WERE NOT! BUT WHAT DO YOU VALUE ABOUT LIFE WHAT IS SO OMPORTANT ABOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH? THINK ABOUT THINGS THAT YOU LIVE WITH EVERY DAY AND THAT WOULD MAKE YOU GO CRAZY IF YOU DNT HAVE THEM? THIS MIGHT HELP YOU TO ADD THINGS TO YOUR PROFILE.
P.S I LOVE THE WAY YOU DID YOUR PROFILE ITS SO UNIQUE AND IT GOES WITH YOUR BLOS!

yup all of the things u said are true i agree. the good thing there is some people who don't appreciate what they have and they want more. And obviously freedom of speech is really important. Because without it we wont be able to express our own ideas to the public. That is good you made those interesting points.

Hi! I never thought of freedom of speech as a value. I find this very unique. Also I really like what u wrote but I wish u would have written more, it’s very interesting. Put links and go deeper in ur discussion. What kind of better future do u mean? Y do u work so hard to impress ur parents and older sister? What made u come to the conclusion that Americans value money, power, and entertainment?
