Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below:

Many people believe that our government should do more to solve our problems. After all, how can one individual create more jobs or make roads safer or improve the schools or help to provide any of the other benefits that we have come to enjoy? And yet expecting that the government—rather than individuals—should always come up with the solutions to society's ills may have made us less self-reliant, undermining our independence and self-sufficiency.

Should people take more responsibility for solving problems that affect their communities or the nation in general?
Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.

1. 题目翻译：

很多人相信我们的政府应当做更多事情以解决我们的问题。毕竟，个人怎么能创造更多工作机会，提升道路安全系数，改善校园环境，或是帮忙提供其他的我们所享受的好处呢？然而总是期待政府，而不是我们自己，想出解决社会痼疾的方案会让我们不那么自立，减弱我们的独立精神和自主意识。

题目：人们通过合作比竞争取得更多成就吗？

2. 审题关键词：responsibility, community

3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲：

正：We are all an inseparable part of the community and nation as a whole. Thus, the society’s ill should be everyone’s problem.

反：We pay taxes to government so that they can help us solve the problems of the society. Otherwise, there is no point of having the government.

补：Neither should we rely solely on government nor ourselves to solve the problems. Instead, we should be responsible citizens of the country.
