American Values 101 isn’t a remedial course on values. It’s a collection of essays, a discussion, and hopefully a forum for debating the basics. We’ve let political buzzwords like family values dominate the issues for too long. The essays on this site are about getting back to basics, about exploring core American values:
Liberty
Equality
Freedom
Diversity
Tolerance
Justice
Security
Welfare
Peace
about reclaiming these values so that we can find some common ground and solve some of the issues that truly affect us as Americans, as family members, as individuals, as part of the food chain, however you see your role on the planet.
