As human beings, what duties and what responsibilities do we have to our society and to our community, if any? To what degree does this vary in different societies?

Basically we want to created for ourselves and our children a better world than the one we were born into. This means a more just world with less prejudges, a better economic world, a healthier world, more laughs and less misery -- the list goes on. Choose any part or parts of the list - it will make you proud.

As human beings we must set a code of morals for our self, Society today has to much violence, divorce, teenagers leaving their babies in trash cans, drugs, wars, over crowded jails, car jackings, robberies galore, and rapes. These are all the vices we must try and prevent. We live in very different times today and we owe it to our children (they are the future of our world today) to lead them on the right path, educate them morally, just don't tell them not to but WHY not to. People find it hard to change to day. We need to keep our cities safe and our children safe. Politics need to conform their policies and try and work with communities and not to worry about the budget.. We are living in a society today where the rich care about the rich and the poor about the poor. We pay school taxes and the people who send their kids to private schools still have to pay, Those who have no children or kids are adults still have to pay. So why are our school systems a mess today. Why do we allow so many foreigners in, when us Americans need help, sometimes more then they do. I really don't know if we will ever feel safe again. Can't even go to the corner store.or leave our doors and windows open we live in a imprisoned society today and we have no one to blame but ourselves .We gave up years ago. Communication is dead in the USA maybe there is still hope if that communication and living with high morals return.

As humans, we have the responsibility to make sure that the needs of that society are being met. We can not solely rely on government, who do not live in our community, to accomplish what needs to be done in a community. At the end of the day, the government looks out for itself.

We have the responsibility to try to improve society what I mean by this is if you ever see something unfair try to take a stand until what you think is fair has been done or if you ever see somebody that you think is saying something racist or ignorant tell them to stop saying those things and try to change their minds on how they view the people they don't like we can also try to help the earth by not polluting as much or littering and there are many other things we can help society but I think I will stop there.

Obey the laws set down by the "majority" aka Society/Community weather you agree with them or not...Don't ever shy away from your voicing disagreement, but don't ever act out against the laws beyond peaceful protest or voting. Respect yourself, others, and the environment. PEACE!

Pay sales taxes and hope the government puts it to good use.
