As a result, you might find their actions confusing, even unbelievable. This is my opinion about American Value. Whether you agree with me o
2、r not - or is willing to accept as valid any generalizations about Americans - my observations are thought-provoking. Americans do not believe in the power of fate, and they look at people who do as being backward, primitive, or naive. In the American context, to be “fatalistic“ is to be superstitio

The problems of ones life are not seen as having resulted from bad luck as much as having e from ones 第 2 页 laziness and unwillingness to take responsibility
4、in pursuing a better life. In the American mind, change is seen as indisputably good, leading to development, improvement, progress. Many older, more traditional cultures consider change disruptive and destructive; they value stability, continuity, tradition, and ancient heritage - none of which are
5、 considered very important in the United States. Time is of utmost importance to most Americans. It is something to be on, kept, filled, saved, used, spent, wasted, lost, gained, planned, given, even killed. Americans are more concerned with getting things acplished on time than they are with develo

This philosophy has enabled 第 3 页 Americans to be extremely productive, and productivity Is highly valued In th

Americans believe that all people are created equal and that all should have an equal opportunity to succeed. This concept of equality is strange to seven-eighths of the world which views status and author
8、ity as desirable, even if they happen to be near the bottom of the social order. Since Americans like to treat foreigners “Just like anybody else“, newers to the U.S. should realize that no insult or personal indignity is intended if they are treated in a less than-deferential manner by waiters in r
9、estaurants, clerks in stores and hotels, taxi drivers, and other service personnel. Americans view themselves as highly individualistic in their thoughts and actions. They resist being thought of as representatives of any homogeneous group. When they do join groups, they believe they are special. Ju

In the U.S. you will find people freely expressing a variety of opinions anywhere and anytime. 第 4 页 Yet, in spite of this independence, almost all Americans end up voting for one of their two major political parties. Individualism leads to
11、 privacy, which Americans see as desirable. The word privacy does not exist in many non-Western languages. If It does, it is likely to have a negative connotation, suggesting loneliness or forced isolation. It is not unmon for Americans to say, and almost to believe: “If I dont have half an hour a d
12、ay to myself, I go stark-raving mad!“ Americans take credit only for what they acplish as individuals. They get no credit for having been born into a rich family but pride themselves in having climbed the ladder of success, to whatever level, all by themselves. In an English-language dictionary, the
13、re are more than 100 posite words that have the word “self“ as a prefix: self-aware. self-confident, self- conscious, self-contented, self-control, self-criticism, 第 5 页 self-deception, self-defeating, self-denial. The equivalent of these words cannot be found in most other languages. It is an indic
14、ator of how highly Americans regard the self-made man or woman. Many other countries have developed subtle, sometimes highly ritualistic, ways of informing others of unpleasant information. Americans prefer the direct approach. They are likely to be pletely honest in delivering their negative evalua
15、tions, and to consider, anything other than the most direct and open approach to be “dishonest“ and “insincere“. Anyone in the U.S. who uses an intermediary to deliver the message will also be considered “manipulative“ and “untrustworthy“. If you e from a country where saving face is important, be a
16、ssured that Americans are not trying to make you lose face with their directness. As a matter of fact, the major American Value is distinct from Chinese. We ought to accept it when we municate with Americans. Thus, we need make ourselves think globally and act locally. 以上就是我们为大家提供的演讲稿范文，更多精彩尽在，敬请 随时关注哦！ 第 6 页
