"But this is the great danger America faces. That we will cease to be one nation and become instead a collection of interest groups: city against suburb, region against region, individual against individual. Each seeking to satisfy private wants"
- Barbara Jordan
About this Quote
This quote by Barbara Jordan speaks to the risk of America becoming divided and losing its sense of unity. She cautions that if we end up being too focused on our own individual desires and requires, we run the risk of ending up being a collection of interest groups that are pitted versus each other. This might lead to a scenario where cities are pitted against suburban areas, areas are pitted against areas, and people are pitted versus individuals. This would be a harmful circumstance for America, as it would result in an absence of unity and an absence of understanding in between different groups. It is necessary for us to bear in mind that we are all part of one country, which we should make every effort to interact to accomplish our common goals.
