The World

We frequently hear the term ?values? discussed with regard to American politics, culture and life. But what are “American values?”

This whole week, we’ll be delving into that question. We’re talking with experts and real people, both, and we’d love to hear from you as well: What do you consider to be “American values?”

We’re kicking off the series today with Toby Miller, a British-Australian-US interdisciplinary social scientist and author of ?Makeover Nation: The United States of Reinvention.?

In Dr. Miller’s opinion, reinvention is one of the most distinctively American things about our culture.
