All societies, including the United States, have value contradictions. Define and provide an example of a value contradiction
What will be an ideal response?
Value contradictions are values that conflict with one another or are
mutually exclusive (achieving one makes it difficult, if not impossible, to
achieve another). Core values of morality and humanitarianism may
conflict with values of individual achievement and success. For example,
in the 1990s, humanitarian values reflected in welfare and other
government aid programs came into conflict with values emphasizing
hard work and personal achievement. Many people are more ambivalent
about helping the poor or homeless than about helping victims of natural
disasters such as floods, hurricanes, or earthquakes in this or other
countries. For example, in the aftermath of the earthquake in Kobe,
Japan, in 1995, some people in the United States viewed economic aid
to Japan more favorably than welfare benefits for unwed mothers in the
U.S. under the age of eighteen.
