    Robin Williams formulated 15 central American values in 1970, including personal achievement through individual competition and economics, work discipline and dedication, morality and charity for the less fortunate, efficiency and practical problem-solving, progress and material comfort through hard work and improving living conditions, equality of opportunity and democracy where success must be earned, and freedom of choice and from government. Newer American values that have emerged include self-fulfillment through developing one's talents and potential, with education also becoming an important value. While some like Christopher Lasch view narcissism and extreme self-centeredness negatively, Daniel Yankelovich believes self-fulfillment is good for society if all individuals and parts strive to better themselves.
