The big things take a collective will to change. Each has a responsibility in the management of public affairs. Collectively and individually, "it takes a village" to raise true human values in a community.
As for tough questions, if more asked "Who am I?" at critical moments we would live in healthier and happier communities. If the answer is "I am her husband, I am his father, I am a citizen, we'd intuitively do the right thing.
We're impoverished to the extent the answers are I'm too tired, it costs too much time and effort, she/they wouldn't do anything for me. Everyone is responsible to each other for everything in a caring community.
That seems to be the sense of what I've experienced with fraternal, social and service organizations in actively progressive communities. They make no distinction between liberal and conservative contributors to society.
Each contributes to their ability.
