Solidarity is a unity or agreement of feeling or action, among individuals with a common interest. This provides mutual support within a group. Today in the world there are many examples of solidarity, and how it is and is not working.
So an organization called Catholic relief services is greatly demonstrating solidarity. They help over 40 different counties. They are all dedicated to increasing food security around the world and supporting hunger and poverty. Over 13,000 different faith communities are involved with this. They are all working together to achieve and make progress in something that they believe in.
A lady faked having cancer to raise money... This is definitely an example of how solidarity does not exist everywhere. To her instead of helping people that really do have breast cancer she wanted to be selfish, and very not nice i might add, and hurt people that tried to help her. She angered and enraged many people by doing what she did. But the damage is done and cannot be undone.
Even though all people do not display solidarity, many do. This is a good thing too because its good for people to work together towards something, rather than be lonely and selfish.
