Solidarity right or wrong?
The main idea behind solidarity is that people are supposed to stick together and look out for each other. I feel that this is a very good and valid point but, I do have several problems with this theory and its modern day supposive practice. For example in Loyola many teachers and staff will tell of how Loyola promotes solidarity. I on the other hand think that in many ways it hinders it more times that it actually helps it. A perfect example of this is missions. This is meant to have students give their extra money so it can go out and help the needy which is supposed to help kids demostrate solidarity. I feel though that all this does is prohibit it because kids are just giving money to a faceless person. They are not actually going out and connecting and uniting with these people who are in need. that is why i feel that the idea of soldarity is good, but its modern day practice is not always done correctly.
