Kannyn expresses in his Good Citizens essay that “Many of the obstacles that America faces are self-inflicted and easily solved. This solution is for American citizens to take action and actually use the many attributes that everyone is capable of exhibiting. Whether it be through voting, community service, running for office, displaying patriotism, or just respecting others, American Citizens must display these qualities to achieve anything. I am sure this is possible and obtainable as I see these qualities in my community on a daily basis.”
