Social Responsibility

In our society today, I think that individuals have very little responsibility to make things better for the whole. I think most people are focused on the responsibility they have to make their own life better. It seems we all have our eyes on the sidewalk , or the road with the car windows up, as we quickly move from one important destination to another satisfying our own needs. Taking no notice of others around us.

It would be nice if we all looked each other in the eye and took notice of each other. I think there are many factors contributing to the way we have become an isolated individual centered society. Driving our own separate cars to get from place to place, having drive through windows for goods we need. All the media outlets we listen to and watch. All these things take our attention, opportunity, and need to reach out to each other away.

I think that individuals in our society should be taught to pay attention to those around us and always look for ways to help others and have compassion. Ask how can we make this place better for everyone.

If we were taught these things in the home as well as at school and in church this would help to mold our society as a whole to become more aware of others and their needs instead of just our own.

I think the government should give some kind of reward for kind acts, like a tax deduction or something. They should also place regulations on the media that they have to report the same amount of good in the world as bad with each paper and broadcast.

If our news would share the lime light with the good doers a little and not give all attention to the bad guys, this would help people to focus attention on doing good. As it is the news focuses on how bad, scary, and wrong things are going to the point that people are scared to reach out to each other.

Come on media lets focus on what we want to see in our people! Stop focusing on how you can attract more attention for your individual benefit and lets focus on the greater good of the people in our country! Did anything good happen today? Was anybody nice today? Did anyone share today? We want to hear that too!" There are allot of great things going on around us. What are they today?
