What are  the best and highest qualities that represent America’s  
“positive  core”?
What areas offer America the greatest possibilities to bring  about  
justice, equity and equality?
And, in 10 years, how would  we like all global citizens to perceive us?



The best and highest qualities that represent America's core is that most  
individuals truly care about those who are in need.
 
The areas that offer the greatest possibilities to bring about justice,  
equity and equality are the non-profit agencies that have dedicated to helping  
those who are in need. These agencies, who serve the poor, individuals in  need 
and individuals with developmental disabilities, do not make a great  deal of 
money but in their own small way bring joy and comfort to those they  serve. 
These individuals have dedicated their lives to making sure they make a  
difference and don't expect anything back except an occasional thank you from  their 
supervisors.
 
10 years from now, they know that even though the US is not perfect they  
will always do the right thing in the ned and that it may take time but they  
learn from their mistakes.
