Week 5 Response

This political community is what we call the Republican Party. It's leader, because every community has one, would be Donald Trump. This political community in the article includes everyone Trump has appointed to be apart of his administration. This isn't the whole Republican Party. I only consider certain members of Trump's administration to be corrupt. The doctrine of this community is "America First". This doctrine could potentially make it an unhealthy community because this is a slightly selfish view. One of the articles ("Why 'America First" is a dangerous doctrine) we read talks about JFK's inaugural address that "pledged to support any friend and oppose any for to assure the success of liberty". This is basically the same thing Trump tries to say but he doesn't clarify exactly what he means. Trump doesn't even make an illusion to liberty, one of the principles America was built on. With this in mind, the doctrine could lead to a potentially selfish and very corrupt American Government. This political community could be considered an unhealthy community because like i mentioned earlier it could lead to corruption. Having someone who is a business man lead something like that could be hazardous because they could not be all that focused on what they should be. Potentially this could harm society in many ways; it could make people of the government turn against each other because they don't have the same morals and ethics. The healthy communities should just try to stop and help the other community as much as possible.
