Americans use to have some good morals but look what has happened. Piss poor autos being built kids usung drugs gangs , guns in kids hands. Men using women, no one wants to work. Usa use to be great but not anymore
How are the morals Americans value different than other countries? Examples? How do they differ?
Morally we like big big Pepperoni Cheese Pizzas with Italian sausage and value🍺🍺🍺🍺 or 🍻 🍻🍻🍻.
Other countries morally they like small pizzas and value 1 🍺.
There are over 300 million Americans. I don't think you can put them all under the same moral compass. With that said, it is in our constitution to have many freedoms that some other countries do not. One of those freedoms is to choose what religion, if any we choose to follow. Many people place their definition of morality from what their religion has taught them. Since we are not a country with one religion there are different degrees of morality. That in now way implies that atheist have no morals, because most do.
Morals are an individual choice, more than a societal choice. The morals of a society are simply those agreed on by the majority.
Thus, the morals of any random American would likely be the same as those of any other randomly selected individual on the planet.
The US has a curious mix of morals and, like all other countries, has a handful of people at either end of the spectrum with the majority wallowing around in the middle.
What makes America different? Alone among all the advanced countries of the world they have a strong religious component in their collective psyche. The churches' influence is obviously diminishing but still remains at a level most of us began leaving behind in the 1950s.
And yet, it's a curious mixture of convenient belief which allows wide interpretation. Example? Read American Sniper. Chris Kyle claimed to be (and probably was) the most successful sniper in American history. He wrote about his enjoyment in killing enemies but several times in his book stated that when he stood before God he would have nothing to answer for because he only killed "evil men".
I'm not rubbishing Kyle. As General Patton said, it's better to make the other guy die for his country than for you to die for yours, but I thought it was a curious twist on the Christian message.
