Many Americans are afraid of love but they do love one another just afraid to show it. Because of the times we live an age of masculinity where love is a very awkward topic for many people to talk on let alone act upon these feelings. The values in our culture that make us afraid of love is like tough guy act, shyness, and afraid to act on the feelings we have for one another. As a generation that can overcome masculinity and embrace the feeling of love and other taboo feelings. The difference between romantic love and real love is that romantic love doesn't always last but real love will always be there.
You can tell that Mitch values hard work at the beginning of the move but later starts to value love and life more. When it comes to my family when value love more than hard work. It started before I had started going to high school it was taught at a young age. I believe that many American are afraid of death because they can't handle a loss. I do believe that our feelings towards death does have to do with individualism because we do not want to feel the pain of loss of a loved one.
