The biggest American value is its diversity, which create the liberal values and progressive society that you guys have (otherwise American will just fight to the death if they don't accept each other values). Claiming something to be "American value" and then use it as a mean to cultivate a homogeneous culture seems to be a good way to turn conservatives.
- jquery 11y ago> The biggest American value is its diversity, which create the liberal values and progressive society Correlation, meet causation. Lots of countries are more diverse than the USA but are doing far worse when you look at crime/corruption/QoL statistics. Lots of countries are far more progressive and far less diverse.
- NhanH 11y agoYou are attacking a strawman. I did not claim that diversity is a sufficient condition for progressive values, I did not even claim that it's a necessary condition. There are many sets of values that will go together to create a "good" society (for any subjective definition of good). For the case of the US, diversity is one of those values. It is entirely possible for a country to not have much diversity and still be a progressive country. In other words, I guess "create" in the quoted sentence should be replaced with "strongly influence". Essentially, if you're claiming that diversity isn't one of the more defining cultural value of the US, and without it the States would be the same, then I would like to hear your reasoning.
