I watched the show Scrubs. The American core values were very appherant in the show because it is about people trying to become doctors. First, achievement and success are shown through the interns work. They are hard working and work at work and study outside of work in order to become the best doctor they can be. This goes along with the value activity and work, the interns and doctors are always working even when they aren't at work they are thinking about it. Also along with success there is a heirarchy in the hospital. There is the janitor, the nurses, interns, and then doctors. Depending how much schooling and success you have had allows you to be higher up in the standings. The show also portrays youthfulness. All the successful doctors are young and goodlooking and it makes you want to be like them. Even the older doctors on the show look and act younger than they really are. Humanitarianism is another big core value with the doctors. Whenever they get a patient that they like or can relate to they take care of them more fervently.
