Мой собственный смысл как американец заключается в том, что мы начали испытывать недостатки, связанные с созданием практически всех моральных вопросов с точки зрения прав личности. American history has consisted of swings back and forth between rights talk on the one hand and talk of duties, responsibilities, and the common good on the other hand. Recent decades have seen a big swing toward rights, and conceived in very individualistic terms, which hasn't always been the case even with rights.
