The American Struggle Over Identity

Why do Americans fight over identity?

If there is any country in the world that can be described as the wellspring of political schizophrenia, it is the United States of America. But why is it that Americans are so obsessed with identity? This video seeks to answer that question by presenting the thesis that Americanism is more of a political religious identity than it is an organic ethnic identity.

Americanism is founded upon the values of:

- Humanism
- Liberalism
- Egalitarianism
- Individualism
- Rule of Law
- Democracy
- Capitalism
