By freedom, Americans mean the desire and the right of all individuals to control their own destiny without outside interference from the government, a ruling noble class, the church, or any other organized (a) authority. The desire to be free of controls was a basic value of the new nation in 1776, and it has continued to attract immigrants to this country. There is, however, a cost for this benefit of individual freedom: self-reliance. Individuals must learn to rely on themselves or risk losing freedom. They must take responsibility for themselves. Traditionally, this has meant achieving both financial and emotional independence from their parents as early as possible, usually by age eighteen or twenty-one. Self-reliance means that Americans believe they should take care of themselves, solve their own problems, and “stand on their own two feet.” Tocqueville observed the Americans’ belief in self-reliance in the 1830s:
They owe nothing to any man, they expect nothing from any man; they acquire the habit of always considering themselves as standing alone, and they are (b) apt to imagine that their whole destiny is in their own hands.
This strong belief in self-reliance continues today as a traditional American value. It is perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of the American (c) character to understand, but it is profoundly important. Most Americans believe that they must be self-reliant in order to keep their freedom. If they rely too much on the support of their families or the government or any organization, they may lose some of their freedom to do what they want. Even if they are not truly self-reliant, most Americans believe they must at least appear to be so. In order to be in the (d) mainstream of American life—to have power and/or respect—individuals must be seen as self-reliant.
For example, if adult children return home to live with their parents because of economic conditions or a failed marriage, most members of the family expect this to be a short-term arrangement, until the children can find a job and be self-reliant. Although receiving financial support from (e) charity, family, or the government is possible, it is usually expected to be for a short time, and it is generally not admired. Eventually, most Americans would say, people have a responsibility for taking care of themselves.

answer: Americans believe that if they rely too much on their family, government, or any organization for support, they may lose some of their freedom to do as they wish.
g. What does the passage suggest about how Americans view receiving financial support from family or the government?
