The television show I chose to watch was Sportscenter. I chose Sportscenter, because I watch this show every morning before school. There were numerous American Core Values used in this television broadcast.
The one they used the most was achievement and success. Measured by our accomplishments, this is the main idea of this television show. Every day they show highlights and give stats of the top players, of almost every sport.
Another value that they used was activity and work. All the professional athletes on Sportscenter, get paid to play their sport. They play these sports because they love to do so and also because they get paid a substantial amount that gives them an abundance of leisure-time.
Progress, is another major value they use on Sportscenter. If you watch Sportscenter as much as I do, you get to watch players grow and develop as they go from high school, to college, and to the professionals. Every athlete strives to be better, to be the best you must always improve.
When you think of professional athletes, you think of material comfort. On Sportscenter you get to see what is known as, "the good life." Showing all their jewelry and fancy cars, makes them an icon to young kids everywhere.
These are the main American Core Values used in the television show, Sportscenter, today.
(Though other days you may be able to find every single on of them.)
