What does it mean to be American?
Dad: the freedom and liberty to pursue your own dreams, ambitions, and free will. The ability to have free speech, religious choice and the ability to criticize the government without reprisal, and a judicial system based on innocent until proven guilty
Mom: the freedom to live, make choices, everyone is considered equal irregardless of race or sex. I feel like I have a chance to make a difference, and I have a voice, and I have a chance to be anything I want to be.
What values distinguish us as Americans?
Dad: American values are freedom of choice, to defend what you believe in even if it's inconsistent with the government, the right to raise your family the way the individuals see fit. Americans value religious choice while accepting the religion of others. Americans value entrepreneurialism, independence, and social economic tolerance and we value families, sexual expression, artistic expression, and American nationalism or patriotism when necessary.
Mom: Americans are more entrepreneurial "go getters" spirited as the people, the love of freedom, and freedom of speech. We get to live as we please.
The picture in the upper right hand corner represents our freedom of speech, and right to express ourselves. In the movie Team America, our American values are shown and gives viewers a good idea of what it means and is like to be an American.
