The shattering of glass, the crumbling of concrete, the screams of frightened people. These sounds where heard, and lives were lost last week. On Tuesday, January 12, 2010 Haiti was hit by a massive earthquake. Many people went from carrying on an average day to complete devastation within minutes. Although the earthquake hit many miles away, the whole world has felt its aftershock. In kindness 101, it is known that people should give a helping hand when ever possible. People in Haiti need our help. Any contributions are helpful, and greatly appreciated. Log on to MSNBC.com and donate

All of the coverage about "Relief for Haiti" has me wondering, why do we as Americans need to have something plastered all over the internet and television to care about a certain issue? Would so many people still find it important to donate without George Clooney hosting a telethon, or the talking heads telling us how tragic this is? Aren't there tragedies everyday that warrant sympathy and activism? What is the deciding factor in American concern for other countries, or other people, and how much of it is actually up to us?
ReplyDeleteI need to watch more of the news because I keep hearing about Haiti from everyone. Sometimes in this world, we have to understand that the earth changes and the are natural disasters all the time. Yes they are tragic, but its nature, the Earth changes. The impact is horrible. I hope that they all have have that everything will be ok. Because when we realize that, life is a lot easier.
