Many people assert that social standing is of less importance in America than in other cultures. While this is certainly true in some cases (India’s strict, traditional Caste system comes to mind), it really depends on the cultures that you compare it to. Compared to much of Europe today, America is much more divided by class and race. While we like to celebrate the equality that American culture so reveres, the huge gap in wealth, power, and standing between those at the top and those at the bottom shows that Americans are not, unfortunately, all on an equal ...

Where did the idea of the American Dream first originate? Immigrants to the New World were bent on creating a new society, one that thrived on democratic principles, where they could worship freely and having equal standing in the eyes of the law regardless of their financial situation or social status.

They are drawn from the beliefs of the early Protestants, specifically the ideas of separation of church and state, equality for all and hard work and integrity.

It is not surprising that Robert Frost, an iconic American poet, addresses it in his most famous and most quoted poem, The Road not Taken (“The Norton Anthology of Poetry” 1232-1233). In spite of the widely spread opinion that the poem raises the problem of “being an individual” or “taking a different road from the masses” (Fagan 293), I strongly believe that the poet’s major intention is to emphasize that no matter what choice we make ...

The social psychology of altruistic actions impinges on values embodied in love and selflessness. As often as we interact with each other, daily, there is the tendency to forget how important acts of kindnesses are towards ourselves and then others.

The new age in this story comes with many changes which see a shift from the conventional practices in society to the adoption of new behavior.
