a myth of our country that propagates is in my opinion it is too materialistic. we as americans are very caught up with our materials and much to often forget about the intangable things. this myth exsisted way before i was born but i feel it has propagted through the decades and is now at an unreasonable level. the american culture is one that is rich with materialism. vedio games, music, ipods, and many other things that have completely warped the minds of our youth. there are stories taht i hear from older geneteration people from diffrent contries that make me reflect on what our contry has become and what it will futhur develop into. my mather and mother grew in in soviet russia and often remind me of how they had nothing more than their neighbors and everyone was equal. no one had an ipod better than the next, no one had the newest vedio game. people valued their families and the things that they worked for. today kids do not care to sit down with their mothers and fathers to eat family dinner, they are too busy playing vedio games and caught up in their mateiralistc fantaices. hopefully family values will be restored to our country and people will realize that materials will never replace real people
