An Exercise with Independence and Individualism
Close your eyes. Think of someone influential in your life.
Now write down who you thought about and why you thought about that person.

In what ways are Americans afraid of being dependent on others?
Do you think that this is related to our value of independence and freedom?
In what ways do you depend on other people? Does this bother you?
Another great example of these values influencing us negatively is explored in this TED talk by Brene Brown. She speaks about vulnerability and our culture. We want to numb our feelings of vulnerability, but in doing so we also numb our feelings of connection to others and our sense of worthiness which allows us to feel love and happiness.
The feeling of individualism and independence that creates this lack of invulnerability may also detach us from feelings of gratitude that help contribute to our happiness.
