1. Individualism, self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values
most closely associated with the frontier heritage of America. Throughout their
history, Americans have tended to view the frontiersman as the model of the free
individual.
2. Individualism and equality
3. There are two types of heroic rugged individualists. Each is drawn from a different stage of
life on the frontier. In the early frontier, which existed before the Civil War of the 1860s, the
main struggle was man against the wilderness. Daniel Boone is probably the best-known
hero of this era. Boone explored the wilderness country of Kentucky in the 1760s and 1770s.
On one trip, he stayed in the wilderness for two years, successfully matching his strength
and skills against the dangers of untamed nature and hostile Native Americans. In 1778,
Boone was captured by Native Americans who were so impressed with his physical strength
and skills that they made him a member of their tribe. Later, he succeeded in making a
daring escape. Boone's heroic strength is seen primarily in his ability to master the harsh
challenges of the wilderness. Although he had to fight against Indians from time to time, he
is admired mainly as a survivor and conqueror of the wilderness, not as a fighter.
4. The self-reliant frontiersman has been idealized by Americans who have made him the
classic American male hero: the rugged individualist. This hero is a man who has been made
physically tough and rugged by the conditions of frontier life. He is skilled with guns and
other weapons. He needs no help from others and often appears in. stories as alone,
unmarried, and without children. Standing alone, he can meet all the dangers that life on the
frontier brings and he is strong enough to extend his protection beyond himself to others.

1. The beliefs, determination, and hard
2. This image change is probably due to the coming of mass advertising, made possible
by the beginning of radio broadcasts in the 1920s and the spread of television
programming in the 1950s. In the 1920s, businesses agreed to pay for, or sponsor,
radio programs that would run short commercials advertising their products.
3. Max Lerner, a well-known scholar who has studied American society, has said that
American consumers are particularly fond of three things: comfort, cleanliness, and
novelty. 14 Lerner believes that the American love of comfort perhaps goes back to
the frontier experience, where life was tough and there were very few comforts.
4. Technological devices that can engage us 24 hours a day have increased the pace of
life in the United States, and they have changed the way we receive and exchange
information. For example, computers and other digital devices have changed our
television viewing habits. By 2003, the majority of American homes had either cable
or satellite Tv. Consequently, in addition to the broadcast networks-ABC, CBS, NBC,
and Fox-most Americans can now choose from hundreds of TV channels. There is
everything from 24-hour news to movies, children's programs, reality shows, sports,
and games, and there are many specialty channels that focus on cooking, home
improvement, music, travel, history, drama, comedy, public affairs, entertainment
news, and lifestyles. There are also public TV networks offering educational and
cultural programs, supported by contributions from viewers, donations from private
companies and foundations, and government grants.
5. Rick Smolan and Jennifer Erwitt have written a large "coffee table" book called The
Human Face of Big Data. Smolan and Erwitt say that some people define Big Data as
more information than can fit on a personal computer. Others say that it is more than
just the quantity of the information-it is also the tools that allow us to see patterns and
make use of the knowledge. "Big Data is an extraordinary knowledge revolution that
is sweeping, almost invisibly, through business, academia, government,health care,
and everyday life," the authors state.
6. The United States has always come from a culture of abundance, not scarcity. Bono,
the rock star/activist, observed that Americans avoided the "curse of natural
resources" that some developing nations now face. Americans learned how to develop
the enormous natural resources on their continent and use them "not just to build a
modern society but also to feed and supply the world." Now Americans are redefining
their abundance as a powerful supply of ideas that can help bring solutions to the
problems of the world. In Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think, Peter H.
Diamandis and Steven Kotler say that scarcity of resources is a matter of perspective
and accessibility. It you have a tree full of oranges and you pick all the fruit that you
can reach, you have run out of your source of oranges. But if someone invents a
ladder, you have access to a new supply.
