The first responsibility that I have to America is, I must help prepare the future generations for their roles in the future society. The country will start to go into decline if the future generations, of this country, do not know their duties and responsibilities to society and …show more content…
careers. We, as American citizens, must teach them everything that they need to know about the rules and regulations of the world, like: how to pay taxes, how to apply to a college, and how to handle a mortgage. Without this knowledge, people can make major mistakes that can haunt them for the rest of their financial life.
The second responsibility is, we must carry our own weight; people should not be able to take everything they want and give nothing back. America’s economy is a give and take system, and if people just take and never give back the economy will falter. The point of a job is to provide the country with the goods it needs for its consumers. Consumers have to get a job to provide themselves and others with the goods that they buy themselves.
The third responsibility is, the American populace must become informed voters.
We must learn everything about a candidate in order to choose the correct person for the job. People must learn to develop their own opinions about a person; they cannot depend on the judgment of other people. Voters do not need to change their judgment on a candidate because the media or their friend told them otherwise.
The final responsibility is, we must make our best effort to support and defend the Constitution and everything it stands for. In order to defend the Constitution, we must help defend this country against anything that may threaten the rights of its citizens. These threats could be as small as breaking up a fight in the street, and they may become as large as going to war against our enemies. We must also turn in people who try to take away the rights that are given to us in this document. In conclusion, America has been the strongest nation in the world because of the hard work of the American people. The previous generations have done a superb job preparing us for society, and now it is our turn. We have done a fantastic job being informed voters, mostly, when it comes to picking our president. The Constitution is the document that gives us our rights and freedoms; we must do everything in our power to defend
it.
