A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition isto respect the self-made man - the man who has risen to the top through his ownefforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader inbusiness or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social positionand commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or eventhe skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his fatherstarted life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.

This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of Americanlife. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but evenluxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is everyevidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel,expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostessprobably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will washdishes afterward; furthermore, thedinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled fromcontents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. Onthe contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of specialdishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in hisflowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, justas he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may waiton table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may workwith a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.
