Culture Shock: End of American Culture as Traditional Values Are Replaced (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781984593665)

Symbolic meaning of the "Statue of Liberty" on front cover of "Culture Shock" The Statue of liberty on Elis Island, New York, USA was given to America as a gift from France. It is a symbolic message to all immigrant arrivals that the USA stands for freedom. All are welcome. Liberty stands as a symbol of purity with traditional values. The torch held in the uplifted right hand is the lighted pathway to American freedom. The tablet in the left hand represents the date of Independence and the US Constitution upon which the Country was founded. Her expression reflects peacefulness and contentment. The robe that drapes her body is conservative clothing for the entire body. Liberty welcomes immigrants and stands for freedom, embodied in the American principles of traditional values and purity. Conversely, as America has changed from traditional values to a society of permissive values, original traditional values are disappearing and replaced by the more permissive values of the 21st century. The Statue of Liberty on the front cover reflects this change away from traditional values as a "Culture Shock", noted by the open mouth in astonished realization of value change. The torch in the right uplifted hand is replaced by a cocktail glass of Martini with three olives representing the holy trinity drowning in alcohol. The tablet in the left hand is the Communist Manifesto which has replaced the Constitution as the US moves from democracy toward socialism. America values are changing and headed for an end to American Culture of the founding fathers. American is in "Culture Shock".
