What America values

My thoughts about what America values is that is weird how everyone values something different I value the most my friends,because I feel that friends are always there for you just when you need them the most, friends sometimes can give you advice,and I value friends too because I think that you could always trust them but the thing that I value the least is the material wealth which is like materials that you use everyday,such as clothing,I feel that there not that valuable because sometimes some girls might get a little crazy over a shirt but later they might not like it anymore that sometimes happends to me I regret buying it but not always.What I think America values the most is money because that way they can have everything they want I also think that Americans mostly value themselves rather than their family or friends they are like more selfish,so to me Americans value most money and themselves.I dont think that what I value and what American values have anything in common,they dont match because you dont need money to make friends,and to make friends you need to think about others and not just about yourself I think that people have different values because it depends on how important it is to them and the way they are. Also in my class all the students,might value different things everybody is different and have different ideas.
