As we learn through socialization, our thoughts and behaviors begin to reflect shared cultural values. Observe the advertisements around youon TV, in magazines, and online.

  • Discuss an ad and how it is an example of mainstream and popular culture reflecting American values.
  • With America being a melting pot of other cultures, in what ways do you think American values make us more culturally relative or ethnocentric in our views of other cultures?
