One of the greatest presidents that The United States was president Calvin Coolidge. He improved the government in the the United States by influence in both domestic and foreign policies. He fought corruption and worked clean the government system from the practice. As president of the Massachusetts State Senate, he said “If it be to help a powerful corporation better to serve the people, whatever the opposition, do that.” In his moving he speech he sends out a message the touches every single. Whenever help is necessary, there must be someone who can assist who can knowledgeably step up to help. However, nowadays it’s more like give and take more than just give.
Helping is the most powerful way that one can show love and affection for others. Being there for someone who is going through a hard time in his/her life means more than anything for that person. I believe what kept the world still alive is helping one another. For example during the world war I, when European powerful nations are fighting for no reason killing the people who could be their brothers if they weren’t wearing that uniform and holding that gun. When germany was thinking they won the war already, but when the United States join the Allies, everything comes into peace. Woodrow wilson’s plan for peace was achieved by helping the the Allies fight the central powers who influenced the Nation by power, military and economy had to give up their position.

There are two things that makes a big difference in how people are viewed in perspective of others.
Helping and not helping. If I see someone helping others I say he is nice or she is nice, and probably talk about what he or she had done which leads to a healthy approach towards someone. Even if we like it or not this will influence love with in us. This is the way to love one another closing all the gaps that lets evil thinkings with in
us. As a christian, I believe what Jesus has taught us through all the things he had done for us is really helping others and show affection to others. In the Bible on Matthew 5:16 it says “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” There are many verses in the Bible that talk about helping others, but this verse I believe agrees with Coolidge's statement above. Every one can give something of their own. I believe there is no such thing like I don’t have anything to give. Well, giving is not only about money. Giving your time, love, advice, energy are also powerful things we can give to help others. However, this is what is hard for people to give.
Throughout history, United-States citizens have elected several presidents, and each one of them are worth knowing for an event or an act in particular. There is an infinite amount of lessons that can be learned from other people’s mistakes, victories, and defeats. Theodore Roosevelt is one of the elected presidents, and he is worth knowing because he helped establish the Children's Aid Society, he facilitated the construction of the Panama Canal and he averted a national emergency by dealing with the 1902 coal strike. Roosevelt's had a profound impact on our society.
Assuming the Presidency at the depth of the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt helped the American people regain faith in themselves. He brought hope as he promised prompt, vigorous action, and asserted in his Inaugural Address, "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Despite an attack of poliomyelitis, which paralyzed his legs in 1921, he was a charismatic optimist whose confidence helped sustain the American people during the strains of economic crisis and world war.
His motto, “Keep Cool with Coolidge” furthered his political career allowing him to win the electoral and popular vote in the Election of 1924 making him the 30th president of the United States of America. Calvin Coolidge, nicknamed ‘Silent Call’, wanted specific policies and acts to stay intact as his predecessor in office, and sought to not significantly change any existing laws. Even though he was not in office during the various scandals, the public viewed him as a puppet of the Harding administration as he was ultimately blamed for the corruption that had previously occurred. One must look at the accomplishments of Coolidge while in office, he fought for his conservative policies surrounding increased tariffs and expanding the government to protect business opportunities for the people. Unfortunately, Calvin Coolidge does not get credit for his many accomplishments while in office, instead he is grouped with the political and sexual scandals from Harding’s
John Calvin Coolidge, soon to be the 30th president of the United States, was born on Independence Day, 1872 in Plymouth Notch, Vermont. His father, who was also named John Calvin Coolidge Sr. was a hard working farmer, storekeeper, and businessman. Coolidge Sr. cared for his son after his wife died of tuberculosis when Calvin was just twelve. Abigail Grace Coolidge, Calvin's younger sister died when she was just fifteen, a few years after their mother had died. After Coolidge graduated Black River Academy, he went on to study law at Amherst College, Massachusetts, then passing his bar exam in 1897, which is an exam students must take before they can become attorneys. A year later after his bar exam, he opened his own law office in Northampton where he handled real estate deals (land and buildings) and bankruptcies. He gained reputation for being a hard working man and solving problems his own way --by staying out of court. Shortly after, he married Grace Anna Goodhue, a teacher at Clarke School for the Deaf. They had two sons, one of which was Calvin Jr., who passed on from an unt...
When Hoover believed that it should be the duty of the People and charity organizations to raise money to relieve economic struggle and that, “the opening of the doors of the National Treasury is likely to stifle this giving and thus destroy far more resources than the proposed charity from the Federal Government” ( AUTHOR 9). Hoover considered self-government and mutual self-help to be the “American way” (9) and that relying on the government for aid is a “disastrous system” ( AUTHOR 12) to embark upon. Contrastingly, Roosevelt stated that, “the Democratic Government had the innate capacity to protect its people against disasters” (AUTHOR 58) and that the government can accomplish tasks that charities and communities cannot. In his second inaugural address, he alluded to previous events such as the revolutionary war and noted that a strong and proactive Federal Government was necessary for the country’s recovery. Through the methods of government, Franklin Roosevelt united an off-track population, used government resources and the people's’ help to better the nation’s economy, and paved a promising path for future
Theodore Roosevelt was one of our greatest presidents. He created the FDA and improved the position of the presidency greatly. Before Theodore came to be president, the position of presidency was slow and wasn’t very interesting so he made the executive branch more powerful by starting new reforms and a strong foreign policy.

Theodore had to deal with all of these presidential stresses, taking up much of his time.

“Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country” John Fitzgerald Kennedy’s famous 1961 inaugural address began one of the most important presidencies in the history of the United States. The 35th president of the United States was like no other, he had a leadership quality that as the quote implies, gave the people empowerment, and held a relationship with the American people different than the prior 34 presidents.
"No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country," - Franklin D. Roosevelt ("Thinkexist.com").

... great presidents like Roosevelt. Theodore Roosevelt helped to set the bar high for future presidents and the future of our nation as a whole, a bar that is still a measuring point for the rest of the world to gage their success.
Throughout his presidency, Coolidge was idealistic. He represented the hardworking nature of Americans and set a moral example of private virtue to counter the onset of moral decay that grew during the 1920’s. The most important aspect of his presidency was his push for less government involvement and to allow businesses to prosper. Coolidge supported agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission that sought to improve government regulation. With his support, these agencies were able to fill their staff with individuals working to expand business rather than policing their transactions. He believed that business was the driving force of the nation and incorporated a hands-off approach in regard to business along with the other aspects

Helping behavior is “any act that is intended to benefit another person”
If we open our lives and give service to those less fortunate than ourselves, we allow our hearts to receive immeasurable happiness. When we sacrifice our time to help someone in need, whether it is a great or small need, we become a part of their life and can help alleviate heavy burdens. Making time to help people in need creates opportunities for us to develop new and lasting relationships. Serving our fellowmen allows the best in each of us to shine through and we can become examples to our children.
For instance, it was an extremely sunny day in Ghana, West Africa, and I had gone out to the well to fetch water. It was while carrying the bucket of water on my way back that I noticed my neighbor’s children fighting over the insufficient amount of food that they had to share. My family and I were not rich but from what I saw, I knew that we were better off than other people I knew. I carried the bucket of water inside the house and came back outside to call the two youngest children that were fighting over the last grain of food. I shared my food my food with them and though it was not sufficient for all, feeding the younger ones alone was better than not helping any one of them at all. There was only little that I could possibly do but by sharing, I had helped them in a great way, even if it was just for the time being.
