The+American+Character

"...And the American people are the greatest people in the world. What makes America the greatest nation in the world is the heart of the American people: hardworking, innovative, risk-taking, God- loving, family-oriented American people." -Mitt Romney

The American Character are two separate characters, woman and man. Although we live in a "equal" society, we are not always treated as equals. The way a man is treated verses a woman is completely different, the idea of man being more superior to women will never change no matter how long we fight for justice or equal rights, the ways of society can only improve but the mindset will never completely change because it has always been in our roots of the "American way".

"Americanism is a question of principle, of purpose, of idealism, of character. It is not a matter of birthplace or creed or line of descent." -Theodore Roosevelt

“There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle.” -Alexis de Tocqueville

**The American Man** **The American Woman** 

"I know I fib a good deal. After all, a woman's charm is 50% illusion" -Blanche (A street car named desire)


 * The Cult Of True Woman Hood **
 * 1. Piety**
 * 2. Purity**
 * 3. Submissiveness**
 * 4. Domesticity**


 * The Cult Of True Woman Hood Still lies into our society today, we are taught as young girls on how to be a lady and although society has progressed forward women will never be treated as exact equals, because we must obey the cult of true woman hood because that is what makes us a true American woman.**
