Abstract
In the United States, the ideology of individualism predominates. The individual, as opposed to the family, community, tribe, or hierarchy, is seen as the central social agent. This individualism allows for greater individual freedom - people have the ability to create and then to recreate themselves. Indeed, there are even some very basic narratives of recreation: the young Midwesterner goes to New York or Los Angeles to pursue the arts and experience freedom; families in overcrowded cities head West where the land is cheap and the air is clean; immigrants from all over the world come to the US with nothing and become...Americans!
