What would the 21st century Emerson have to say

In my opinion Emerson would be disappointed in how we are today. The majority of people don't think of us as all one and connected somehow. People today are selfish and only car about one thing, themselves and their families. Most people don't stop by the homeless person thats asking for money on the street. Or care to do community service to help others out. I believe that Emerson thought that everyone is connected to each other and that they should all help each other out. Do work that you should do to help yourself and others. I got this idea from this paragraph,
"Help must come from the bosom alone. The scholar is that man who must take up into himself all the ability of the time, all the contributions of the past, all the hopes of the future. He must be an university of knowledges. If there be one lesson more than another, which should pierce his ear, it is, The world is nothing, the man is all; in yourself is the law of all nature, and you know not yet how a globule of sap ascends; in yourself slumbers the whole of Reason; it is for you to know all, it is for you to dare all."
To me it meant that we need to help others out to ensure a better future and country. And today we are not doing that. Which is why I think Emerson would be very disappointed with how our country is today.
