Yeah, this seems like a pretty lame assignment. It's almost as if they want you to talk about how "American" viewpoints on the rest of the world are somehow inferior. Although, a lot of these viewpoints extend boundaries, such as the one that deals with wanting to cheer up your buddy who is feeling down. That's good, but human nature, not culture.

Even so, I do agree with these: 2, 3, 9, 10

Americans do (at least try to some degree) want egalitarianism. Sure, there are the upper class elitist fucks who don't want it, but by far the vast majority of Americans are all for it. When I lived in Europe for a year I did notice some (not a lot) class differences. And asian countries are far worse about this even today. So I guess this survey isn't all bad.
