Today was published in “El Imparcial” that a mother from Haiti reported that a group of American men took his child, as well as other children, to take care of them for a while. But they didn’t give him back. She made an accusation, and when they got the men, they answered that the children didn’t had any legal papers of their parents, and they were going to take them to an orphanage.
When I read this article I asked myself, where they really taking the children to an orphanage, or where they just taking advantage of the situation? I consider this really cruel, but due to how society in working many things crossed through my mind. In Haiti many people is just looking for help, and I think that they are not expecting for someone to make them suffer more. In the present, many people just want the best for them, and they don’t care for others; I think that every person that does this, he or she doesn’t has a high standard of morals (they don’t care of others). And to solve this and stop being selfish, we must think for a while and analyze that we are sharing one planet, we don’t have to fight for being better (yes you have to have goals and try to reach them but not in a bad way just for power or money), we must cooperate in all the things we do, and maybe with this all of us can improve our life.
We must stop being selfish in every activity we do, and help others.
After several days of the Haiti Earthquake, it seems that there is still big problems going on that city. According to a recent new I read, Bill Clinton stayed that there is a lot of people that still need help. Giving a hand to those people is still very difficult because of the lack of organization. Mr. Clinton visited Port-du-Prince to "try to identify the things that aren't being done and need to be speeded up and fill thos blanks". I think that this man is doing a great humanitary job because is total chaos in Haiti. There are still people sleeping in the streets and lacking of a good health care system. According to the article too, there is about 1 million people that need aid. I hope that countries like ours could do more to help this poor country. Sadly, some news like the one of Cabaña's shot is taking away the spotlight of more important and urgent issues. After the magnitude 7.0 earthquake, officals said that 212,000 people died. Why do people are more impacted when one "celebrity" is shot than when a group of people is killed? Don't they deserve the attention because they aren't famous? They are humans, just like us. About 315 markeshift were installed around the city. It's sad to hear that these people who once have a home, lost it all. There are about 16 main distribution food centers around the country. However the lack of security in this place made difficult for person to obtain help. Some people asaulted trailers packed with food and water. This made me think that the situation over there is chaotic, like the survival of the fittest. Moral ethic values are on the floor. Another question that popped in my head is, do morals and ethics are completely forgotten in situations like this? I mean we can study the theory and applied it in some aspects of our life, but if a great natural disaster like this one happen in our city, will we lost all our sanity and just follow our instinct? Desperate situtations like this one is a clear example that when you live a tragedy personally it is a whole different world.
