Caring for others is a very underrated activity in our capitalistic world. America has created this ideology of the “American Dream”. The American Dream is what makes America so great, however it replaces citizenship, responsibility, and humility with greed, selfishness, and unlawfulness. It makes people want material things and personal gain. We tend to forget those around us. That is where our true leaders and great citizens step in. These are the people that apply the good aspects of the American Dream, such as work ethic, ambition, and perseverance, to the community around them. People that spend their time, money, and effort in order to benefit the less fortunate is what citizenship is, but that is not possible without leadership.
