What role does the individual play in American Society? Is this a good definition, or what else can I say to describe the roles in American Society:

The individual contributes to the mix of backgrounds and cultures of people, while also recognizing their values, even if you don’t agree with them, respect is always the key because we don't know what they might be going through. Simply, we have the right to live freely by not being judged nor judge others because of different ideas, opinions, and beliefs.
