THE CHOPSTICK CHALLENGE EXPERIMENT: Culture and Diversity Challenges Each student will receive a bowl with chopsticks, Sour Patch Kids, and Smarties. Students will break open their chopsticks and practice holding them. Then, with a partner, students will time each other on how long it takes his or her partner to move both types of candies from a provided paper towel into the provided bowl. After students have practiced, they will then race to see who can move the candies in the quickest amount of time.

How important is work in the American value system?

Our Changing Values While the United States has a set of core values, new values or changed values are sometimes noted. New Values Leisure Physical fitness Youthfulness Self-fulfillment Environmentalism Progress Self-fulfillment and Narcissism Some scholars see self- fulfillment as a healthy new value, while others view its extreme, narcissism, as detrimental to society as a whole.
