    So our values can change over time?

    What a strange question. Of course they can and they do, all the time.

      Then what makes a value an American value?

        Usually “country’s values” are something the state or the population publicly (claim to) hold. Another perspective is what others view as their values.

        It’s not a clear cut thing at all. Americans often use terms like “freedom, liberty, democracy”, stuff like that so I’m thinking from their pov those are their values.

        Money.

        Money is the only truly American value, everything else can be discussed about depending on how much money is involved.
