I agree. The way people work for society in US cannot be compared to India. It will take us some time to get out of our me and my family mentality. I feel it comes from years of deprivation and uncertainity the society faced. In america people donate for common causes. for kids going to college etc. Going back in history, If we start our gurukul system again, I am sure the kids will roam around the country and will not get a morsel to eat at present (compare it to the past when students and brahmins used to sustain on dakshina). I feel the concept of working for society has been eroded because of social and economic insecurity for several centuries
