Pres. Carter's attitude in pargraph 8 toward Americans with "too many of us now tend to worship self-indulgence and consumption" can be described as

1. Unifying
2. Furious
3. Ready for change
4. Self aware

Answer 4: Carter knows that the problems of the country cannot be blamed on Americans or government directly. There's no smoking gun, in other words. He realizes that for America to be great again, Americans will need to be unified rather than what they are at every level -- from the citizenry to the elected officials. And the government will need to start listening to the people.
