The three american core values presented in this episode are...
Achievement and success-Michael (the manager of the office) feels that his employees are feeling stressed out because of his work. He feels that it is his job to get rid of this "stress" and comes up with an idea. Michael assigns a special day and tells his employees that they could pick on him all they want so that they can feel better! This assignment worked and the employees had a real good time!
Humanitarianism- The fear of Stanley's heart attack kept the employees worried and they continue to come up with solutions to avoid it. Michael had everyone stop working to meditate thinking it would lower Stanley's stress level. He is being helpful and caring. Michael wants to be the main aid for them.
Youthfulness- During the fire, Angela saw Oscar in the ceiling and she asks him to help her get up. He calls her fat and she replies saying she is only 80 pounds. That is extremely tiny! She still has the perspective of wanting to look young and good. Also, the employees joking around with each during work and saying jokes is not really amateur.
The show tells viewers that we should value friendship. (Humanitarianism)
Not all the employees get along with each other but they still have to maintain a good relationship because they work together. No matter what goes wrong, we need to understand where the person is coming from. We can always provide our help and show them that we care. Nothing is ever too late; always keep the door open for the ones that we love.
I don't really watch the office but the guy who called the girl fat just shows how obsessed over body image we are. We see this especially in teenage girls who think that appearance is everything. It's really unhealthy to be so obsessed with something that really shouldn't matter as much as it does.
