Global Solidarity

Throughout this course, and throughout my life right now it seems, Solidarity is a HUGE reoccurring theme. Of course it is our responsibility to care for women who are abused or take advantage of. They are our sisters, they are our family, of course it is our responsibility to protect them. Especially if we see it everyday and continue to do nothing. Protect the dear neighbor. Isn't that part of the mounts mission statement? On a global level, people tend to help more when it is a signification event that effects millions of people at one time. Examples of such events are hurricanes  wars, tsunamis  It is easier to rally around to help one event at one time, especially if it effects our area, example hurricane Katrina. The shock and urgency of such events attract attention and publicity, leading people to be more inclined to help. When really things happen everyday that need to same amount of attention and urgency, but don't get it.
