Our society does not consist primarily of American soil. America is a nation composed of immigrants from around the world. Although America is our homeland, we have allied nations that are considered our friends and family. When our friends and family members are in danger, we support them until they are able to support themselves. Japan has been stricken beyond belief as we all know. It has been a month and recovery efforts continue.
American traditions and values encourage citizens to perform good deeds. According to the Signature series, a good deed performed is a deed worth being praised for. This thought led to the existence of religion and government to promote good and steer clear away from the bad in life. Assisting Japan directly connects to the concept of doing good deeds.
In addition to doing a good deed, the support that Japan is receiving from others and myself, correlates with being responsible citizens. Any and every effort that is made to support our allies, is contributing to the good of our society. Most of all, I feel proud to be an American whenever there is a crisis situation that I can be a part of. It is especially heartfelt when helping out means more than raising money and you can actually be where the crisis took place. Furthermore, America’s vision and values is what allows our country to maintain our superpower status.
