2. Change
In the American mind change means development, improvement, progress, and growth. Many older, more traditional cultures consider change as а disruptive, destructive force, to be avoided if at all possible.
3. Time and Its Control
Time is, for the average American, of utmost importance. To the foreign visitor, Americans seem to be more concerned with getting things accomplished on time. Schedules for the American are meant to be planned and then followed in the smallest detail. Americans' language is filled with references to time, giving а clear indication of how much it is valued. For example: To be on time, to use time, to waste time, to spend time, to give time and so on. It is considered very rude to be late — even by 10 minutes — for an appointment in the United States.
4. Equality/Еgalitarianism
Equality for Americans is one of their most cherished values. This concept is very important for Americans. Most Americans believe that God views all humans alike without regard to intelligence, physical condition or economic status. In secular terms this belief is translated into the assertion that all people have an equal opportunity to succeed in life.
5. Self-Неlp Concept
In the United States, а person can take credit only for what he or she has accomplished by himself or herse1f. Americans get no credit for having been born into а rich family. In the United States, that wou1d be considered "an accident of birth." The American social system has made it possible for Americans to move, relatively easily, up the social ladder.
6. Future Orientation
Valuing the future and the improvements Americans are sure the future will bring what they need at the present. Americans hope that the future would bring even greater happiness they have now. Almost all energy is directed toward realizing that better future.
7. Action/Work Orientation
"Don’t just stand there," goes а typical bit of American advice, "do something" Americans routinely plan and, schedule an extremely active day. Any relaxation must be limited in time, pre-planned, and aimed at "recreating" their ability to work harder and more productively once the recreation is over. The first question one American will ask another American when meeting for the first time is related to his or her work "What do you do?" "Where do you work?"
8. Informality
Americans are one of the most informal and casual groups of people in the world. As one example of this informality, American bosses often urge their employees to call them by their first names and even feel uncomfortable if they are called bу the title "Мг." or "Mrs."
9. Directness, Openness and Honesty
Many other countries have developed highly ritualistic ways of informing other people of unpleasant information. Americans, however, have always preferred the direct approach. They are likely to be completely honest in delivering their negative evaluations. If you come from а society, which uses the indirect manner of conveying bad news or uncomplimentary evaluations, you will be shocked at Americans' bluntness.
