All Americans have many choices, and it is such a part of our daily lives that we don’t even realize it.

It also demonstrates that we push ourselves out of our comfort zone and take actions to help others (TED Talk, 2014). - She emphasizes that our kind actions, big or small, prove that we want to take charge and make the world become a better place (TED Talk, 2014).
