Frankly I think its the past generation that have failed to present
enough of an example. The biggest example I can think of the sheer
number of people that don't stop to help out at an accident or
roadside problem that someone has.
The most basic form of volunteering is stopping and helping someone
who needs it on the side of the road at night or on the highway. Too
many people are too busy rushing around in their Escalades, yakking
on their celphones to stop and help.
