Subject: American Values

The American values

The material which I analyzed was fliers that I found at NMSU when I did my Exchange program. All of them have, in my opinion, one point in common: the information is something very important for American people and for this they try to make it easily available to everybody.
The first one warns about the dangerous in Juarez that the exchange students can find if they go there and don’t take care of themselves. It also includes some dos and don’ts for those that still want to visit the city even being aware about the dangerous. The value here is the safeness.
The second one tries to inform the students how they have to behave when they go to parties. Some of the tips concern the amount of alcohol which it is safe to drink. Here we find again the safeness for the individual’s health.
The third one shows how the university worries about their students. Like many other fliers that I saw, it instructs the students where and how they can find help to resolve their emotional problems. In this specific one, we have information about emotional abuse. Here we find two values: the intervention of the educational systems that is worried not only with formal education but everything that is part of students’ welfare and the solidarity between people through support groups.
