"国家の価値は長い目で見ればそれを構成する個人の価値である"
— John Stuart Mill
Simplified Meaning:
A state's true value depends on the qualities and actions of its people. If the individuals in a country are honest, hardworking, and educated, the country will likely be strong and prosperous. For example, if people in a community work together to clean up a park, the park becomes a better place for everyone. This shows how each person's efforts can improve the whole community. So, just like a team in sports where each player needs to perform well for the team to win, a country needs its citizens to act responsibly and positively. By being good citizens, everyone plays a part in making their nation better.
