As Americans we are able to break free of our cultural heritage. We have the rights and freedoms to change almost every aspect of our lives, including traditions and beliefs that at one time we may have been raised to live by. Although we do have the personal freedom to make decisions about how we want to live our lives, society does tend to try and keep us in line in some ways. The strong belief that you should take pride and support where you came from is definitely an idea that is taught at a young age.
I don’t think that there is danger in disregarding societal
norms. The idea that you can be and act in
whatever way you want as an individual is becoming much more accepting than it has
been in the past. Creativity and being
unique is rewarded and encouraged by most in America.
