Jan and all,

I was so taken back by this statement:

"My husband and I went to a class the  other night (nothing to do w/ bf), and 
the instructor gave us a sheet of paper  in which business people from three 
cultures (American, Japanese,  Arabic) identified and then rated what they 
considered to be the 20 top  nationalistic traits of those cultures.  
Unsurprisingly, the first  one for Americans was freedom - the second was 
independence.  
In  both the Japanese and Arabic, family appeared in the top ten.  No  where 
in the top 20 for Americans did family appear in any way, shape or  form.  
."

What is more important than family to them???? I have to know.
