While many Americans have lost confidence, at heart, there is a steadfast belief in a brighter future. In yesterday’s post, Rebuilding America, we discussed the importance of social responsibility, education, community, and creativity. Our team believes that the following 4 themes will emerge as central to the rebuilding of America.

Real Responsibility
Given the focus on accountability and our desire to find real truth, it naturally follows that Americans will place an increased emphasis on Real Responsibility. We must be a responsible leader in the world community and in our own lives. “The average American needs to have more common sense and be more prudent about how they expend resources.”*

In a world of real responsibility, truth champions deception.

Social Entrepreneurship
“We need to start leveraging our power and take a POSITIVE leadership role in issues that are global in scope.” While Gen X wants to help out through volunteering and charitable contributions, Gen Y has a stronger interest in making philanthropy central to their lives. “My plan is to go into a field where I can positively impact those around me.” Whether it’s the rise of green innovation or simply companies that recognize that they can do good, there is an emerging spirit of social entrepreneurship.

Whole Foods was an early leader to incorporate social cause into its mission. In a world of social entrepreneurship, we will see the rise of companies like TOMS Shoes that provide great products and do good too. Online, budding social entrepreneurs can do good for their cause through sites such as Social Vibe.

Creative Community
“America may be an individualistic society, but more often than not, those individual American dreams are grounded in a desire to help some level of community.” We have seen an explosion of creative mashups online and that creative, experimenting culture will spread like wild fire.
