Reflection+4.1

=Instead of having an oppressive and cruel community, American must progress into a community where communal responsibility and togetherness are key elements. Through John Steinbeck's __Grapes of Wrath__, we are able to see, through numerous quotes, his argument on the necessity of a well run community. Steinbeck touches upon the ideas of communal responsibilty which in turn promotes a sense of awarness and safety. The constant care that develops in this particular community allows for safety to occur, which in turn allows individuals to be comfortable and help anyone in need. The Beatles's __Help!__ harps on the fact that when someone needs help, it is the community's responsibilty to help them. And this help will allow the entire community to feel as sense of responsibility to all which is the goal of the needed transformation of "I to We." By reshaping the American Charcater into this community based society, many more people will be able to gain equal opportunity becuase individuals of all classes will be constantly exposed to those around them in this community setting. The new awareness of one's surroundings will start to close the gap between classes and allow for the American Character to be redefined and be in a positive light. =
