The United States today is blessed to have so many values. A value is something that a person or a group respects and actively participates in. Citizens have many rights and values that allow them to live their life’s every day. All of these values are related in some way to our society and benefit the individuals who live in it.

Everyone has the right to use these values to guide their lives. Even though I do not agree with values like concern for the environment, and material comfort, I respect them because I know they are important to other people just as my values, religiosity and physical fitness are important to me. These two values guide me daily and help me grow into the person I hope to
