In 1970, robin williams jr. identified 10 value clusters in our american way of life. what are the 10 key values of us culture? do you agree with his choices? explain what these values mean to your life. identify and discuss these 10 american values using your own words and following the rules for proper english grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. you must write 250 words and no less than 10 complete sentences.

The 10 values identified by Robin Williams Jr. are the following:

1. Equal opportunity.

2. Achievement and Success

3. Activity and Work

4. Efficiency and Practicality

5. Science and Technology

6. Progress

7. Material Comfort

8. Humanitarianism

9. Freedom

10. Democracy

These values can be considered pillars of the American culture and therefore we can agree with the author, once every cluster may be identified in virtually every American citizen's life.

The United States of America is knowingly a land of freedom, providing endless choice possibilities while also being fair and rewarding merit where its due satisfying points 9, 1 and 2. Your success is determined by your own choices.

The USA has a really well developed economy and culture, having enough activities and job opportunities to enable people to work with what they love, helping the country develop its science and technology, enabling efficient improvements and applications to technology and culture, consequently fueling the country's progress, as noted on points 3,4,5 and 6.

Finally, the mentioned "American way of life" is not complete without material comfort, characteristic of a well-developed industry to fulfill the population's needs and whims. Another characteristic of the American population is the humanitarianism, working with the whole world to improve conditions of life and economy to those in need. All these characteristics are enabled by the democracy model of politics, which gives the power to the majority and keeps the country's government working for the population, not for the minority, fulfilling the points 7, 8 and 10.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)

good question. i'll be looking into that. (this is a joke sir)
