What can you do to contribute to the Common Good?

There are many ways to contribute for the common good of the people and the
society but the being respectful and being humble are the most efficient way to help
other people. By being respectful and humble to other people, you are also encouraging
them to become a better person for their society, in that sense there would be less
conflict and people would easily understand other people's perspective despite their
differences in religion, beliefs culture and even race. The more harmonize the humans
are the more we can see the beauty in contributing to the common good. Just by
thinking on every decision and action we do or words we speak towards other people.
By just doing our part we can surely see dramatic difference on what world we have
right now.

The only thing that I can do to contribute to the common good is by following
what is right and would benefit the whole society whether in terms of education, religion,
law and etc. One can contribute to the common good only by doing good in what the
majority thinks is right and ethical to do. Respect is a great contributor to one's idea on
doing good deeds because if you respect someone, you also love them and care for
them. Respecting one’s identity, respecting his belief and even respecting on what he is
as a person is what a mere student like me can contribute to the common good. And if
there are any wrong rule that the common good suggest as a student I can also speak
for what i think the most ethical way to correct such rule or belief because no matter
how many people are there and if their statement is somehow not appropriate for the
humanity it is the time for us the student, the youths to tell them the majority that it is not
just to perform such rule that would surely harm the thinking of society on what is good
and what is right

Contributing to the common good is what makes it a common good. Majority of


people believe in the rule that would be beneficial to the society but are they right in
such believing or proposing the rule or law? Many arguments are done in just making a
single law. Lots of people argue whether it should be done or not. But this doesn ’t mean
that if it is beneficial for the majority nor it will harm other people. As a student and a
member of the society we should look for solutions or ethical standard that would
benefit the entire human race not just the majority. A single voice is important in making
what common good a common good. It should focus on the sake of everyone rather
than the majority only.
