My name is Christopher Peter and welcome to the Christopher Peter Review.

In this podcast episode, I discuss the famous words of former President John F. Kennedy calling for Americans to do their part to contribute to the American society they want to live and take pride in. In a nation built for the people, of the people, and by the people, it was a great message to ask the people to be an active participant in their outcomes.

This is a stark contrast from our current social condition, where our leaders seek power by shifting blame towards society for the actions, choices, and consequences that may emanate from the people. While there are some areas public policy can be better, the rhetoric makes it seem like these individuals do not believe in the people as much as leaders in the past. Or they want to shift the responsibility elsewhere for political power grab.

Our society does embody more entitlement than what could be deemed a healthy level. For instance, we those who max out their student loans and believe taxpayers should foot the bill for their personal choice. But I still believe most people want to succeed the right way, attain that self made label, and earn their keep in life without burdening others. They want to succeed but may need some direction or guidance.

I believe that America can have a society that fosters a culture that rewards hard work, ambition, and innovation, while still caring for those who truly cannot take care of themselves. Encourage and require that every able bodied person maximizes their opportunities for personal success but to also contribute to the wellbeing of society through service to community, generosity towards organizations that help those who truly cannot help themselves, and just basic showing of kindness and compassion. And not accept societal grifters.
