...US,I am quite curious? i.e ,mainstream philosophy in China are money ,power will be the mainstream philosophy .Most people will compare and pursue money ,power. Then how about US? I lived US for about 3 years, I can not find the answer.. I went Church ,go to school and working in company , I found actually I do not know what really people care..
Is love & fun the main thing in US?
Looks people also care about money and power in US.. but I did not feel that with my classmates and colleagues,, u know in China, 80% percent of the talk are all around money and power,,and people work & startup business very aggressively, but in US, we talked about entertainment ,cool games,new electronic devices ,ball games,ski,movies, etc.. I did not find much situation people show this desire..

I think you would be hard pressed to find something that people really care about in this country. As a society we have become rather numb to everything.

If I had to give an answer, I would probably say money and objects are the most coveted. Religion is the most mainstream, although the majority of "religious" people I have met are only "religious" when it is convenient. And don't forget the most important thing in this country: Never take responsibility for your own actions or problems. If you are having a hard time in your life, blame someone else. If you are having problems in your personal life, take medicine and blame everyone else.

I'm sorry to say this is what our county has become.

money, power, love, fun, and even tho we are suposed to be the "UNITED" States of America, we are oh so separated by stereotypes, gangs, religeon, ethnic background, etc...it would be different if we "UNITED AMERICANS" didn't have a problem with each other....sad huh?
