Abstract
Since the core American values have been present from the beginning of American history and have played a crucial part in the shaping of America, they present an extremely important topic of research. Considering the numerous changes that happened from the time of America’s founding until the present, the primary goal of this paper is to establish the extent to which the core values are still present in the modern society with their representations in the media and the social context of family and the immediate environment of people. The contribution of Benjamin Franklin and Alexis de Tocqueville to the development of American values is listed along with their origin, after which the opinions and attitudes about the values of adults and youth in America are analyzed. The influence of American values is further examined through their representation on television and movies, and their depiction in Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. After the analysis from the aforementioned aspects, it can be concluded that core values are nowadays present in various forms, the changing American family being the prime example, and the role of media is not simply to mirror them, but also to shape them with the help of fictional characters and events.
