One Answer:'Ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country' means:Don't look for ways your country can simply benefit you.

Don't look only for hand-outs and helps up.

Don't expect something for nothing.

Instead, look for ways that you can:

Help your neighbors

Support your community

Assist your government

Another_Answer:">Another Answer:

While John F. Kennedy believed government could solve some problems in society, he also believed that citizens needed to participate and do their part. He was a strong supporter of volunteerism, of joining advocacy and charitable groups and trying to better the country. Thus, he was saying don't just expect the government to take care of everything; be willing to do your part and be willing to help your country.
