Well as far as I know we are just as much a part of society as anybody else.
And there are things we can do. We can host refugees, for instance. We could even just help enter data into databases of missing people.
I know most of the problem came from bad planning, or failure to plan, but that doesn't mean there is nothing to do about it now.
1) I wish I could
2) There are more ways to do something than going directly there and breaking through the police barriers. We just need to fix all of the corruption and confusion in the agencies that can do something on the scene.
3) I guess/. is too cynical about everything to do anything anyway.
As a side note: giving them the means to live is just as much evolution as leaving them to die. If helping people is part of our nature, then it's a factor in evolution, it makes it easier for that population to survive. Social Darwinism is nonsense.
Well you're cynical, aren't you. Most poor people walk a lot more than anyone else. They have to. They have no cars. These people aren't leaving because they can't. They aren't being allowed to leave. The police point their guns when they try to approach the barricades. This seems more like "[insert deity] hurts those who are hurt by others."
I find it depressing that nobody has replied to this yet. That is exactly what we need to do, but nobody will do it. It is extremely frustrating to me as a 16 year old to see those with knowledge, experience, resources, influence not doing anything about it.
WE need to do the work. The activists. The people who actually care. The people who are outside the barricades, who can coordinate help. We can't just sit back and say: "what a pity, people are dying, starving, and nobody is doing anything about it, It's almost sad" COMEON people we don't have much power, but if we don't do anything, we won't have done anything, and nothing will have been done.
