Being and American, to me at least, is trying to be the best you can be and use that to help the people around you. Everyone has a special gift that makes them stand out from everyone else, i think it is important to use that gift to help better the world. If you don't use that gift for somehting what's the point of having it. What's the point of being a genuis if you don't use that intellect to help people? There isn't one, all you would be is a really smart person. Now using that ability to find a way to fix a major problem is what sets you apart.
When we don't care about each, that is when the monstrousities happen. That is when adoptive parents kill their adopted kids, when people steal ot for need but out of greed, when all the truely atroshish acts happen. These are people using whatever gift they have for the worst. That is why i believe that trying to better the world is imprtant to be an american. If we don't use our gifts to help the worl the gifts end up for being used to worsen it. Our compassion as a country is what sets us apart from the dictators and terrorist. I try my best to be the best i can be because i know that the next worst thing to diong something evil is not caring and letting others do it. That is why being being the best you can be is what being an American is about.
