The Way of Social Action

Trusting people is kind of hard for me to do basically because I am not sure that people will be there in the times that I will need them. Reading this article, it showed that there are still good people out there in the world. This young man stepped in for a pregnant woman in her time of need. This young man showed me two lessons that can come in handy in life. Knowing that there was a drunk man that was causing the problem, the young man decided to use his words to solve the problem rather than his fighting skills. Another reason that he taught me was that even though you do not want to get involved with other people’s problems, sometimes you have to step in and take control of the situation. What the man wanted to accomplish was done in words rather than in muscular fighting.

I chose this article because it was a real life situation that someone lived and decided to act. I was looking at the picture at the beginning of the article and it surprised me that the person that was in the article is actually an older man. I know that I got inspiration from looking at the picture of the elderly man in a wheelchair standing in front of all those officers. Conflict does not have to be done in fighting, rather than creating a solution with words and making a difference.
