The American values

 

Do you Know What Competition and Time & its Control really means to Americans, competition means when someone compete and win it brings the best out of someone and to me it means when you , time and control means that when people use time it can be used in different ways and how it controls us for example we can be on time, gained time, wasted time and time is controlling us because when someone is planning a party or something and you have to be there at a certain time and you cant make it cause your so busy then your late or you missed it is because you lost track of time.

Next an example of Competition and Time & its Control is used in the game NBA 2k, and when you play against someone  and you win you would think that you are the best and it makes you feel good about yourself and when you create your character you upgrade him so that he can be better than anybody else and that you are the best and that you are competition to everyone else It uses time by when your playing a game and you have a certain amount of time to score as much as you can before the time run out and if you don’t hurry and take the ball out you will get charged with an 8 second violation. That’s how Competition and Time & Control is used in this game.

Third in the book “To Kill a Mockingbird” the book is about a girl named scout and how she is challenged or competing against the boys at her school because she is a girl who is competitive, she is in competition because she does things better than the boys and do something’s they can’t. Atticus is in competition because he is a lawyer who is defending a black man in a trial and if he didn’t defend him he would basically loose his respect around town. The book uses time when you read about how long it took Atticus to get ready for the trial it took him 2 months so that he could get ready.

      Last is the movie about the Requiem for the American dream and how it shows Competition and how it uses Time & its control. For example, in the movie how they showed the highest earning in tax rates and the lowest earning in tax rates and they showed how they were going up and down in the Great Depression threw time, also showed how much the capital made threw out the years. This movie really doesn’t show an example of completion and so these are some example of two of the American Values Competition and Time & its Control.
