Solidarity- I think (or better: I hope) everyone knows about it.
To promote the culture of solidarity and the spirit of sharing a little bit more, the UN decided to celebrate the International Human Solidarity Day.
The principe of solidarity is easy- These who have more give to these who have less, it is about sharing and helping.
In the time of today, the time of globalization, it is maybe as important as never to strengthen the international solidarity. Otherwise it is impossible to grow equal and to reduce the poverty of today. Because of that we have establishments like the World Solidarity Fund. I think this is the right way, but in my opinion it is not enought to defeat poverty.
In my opinion, Solidarity is one of the most important things. It does not matter if you speak about the solidarity in a small group of persons or the international solidarity, there are so many ways to show solidarity in nearly every situation.
I think it is a really important character treatment to think about the situations of others, to help where you can, to share and to make the world through solidarity a little bit better.
The gap between rich and poor is way to big in the world of today. If the princip of solidarity would work a little bit better, the poverty in the world could be reduced, or at least improved.
What's about you- did you show solidarity today? If yes: Perfect! If no, it could maybe be your goal for the day!
