People nowadays don't always think about other while doing thing but the Greeks have a proverb that say, a society grows great when old men grow tree whose shade they know they shall never sit in. This more or less means, that when people do thing for others, that don't always help them self, it makes the people as a whole greater. Mother Teresa was a woman that did so much for other while getting nothing in return, she was willing to have nothing so others could have something, which reminds you that their are some great people in the world. Gandhi was a peaceful man, he want to make India a better place, so he did it, but he did it without violence, he thought that If India was saved from violence then it wouldn't really be saved.

I do think that this proverb is right, only at the point where people care more about other than their self, can society think of itself as great. If you really want American to be great again think of another, think about your neighbor here or there, send a cake there way or something. And you don't have to spend money, if someone look like they need a hand ask if you can help. If you can do something for someone else do it, it doesn't matter how small or how big, just give a hand. And then there might help someone then that person might help someone, so on and so on, and you know how it stated, you gave someone a

    Civil disobedience is defined as members of a community choosing to actively disobey laws in protest of a cause. As proponents of civil disobedience, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Gandhi advocated for those following their causes to complete acts disregarding unjust laws put in place to draw attention to their separate causes.
