Sandy Storyline Quote sandwich

     New York City's residence showed more compassion then some of the government officials. New York City residence donated food, clothes and their time. It's honestly an amazing thing how so many residence did all these kind things without asking for anything in return. To me this is a perfect example of "restoring humanity" and this is something we need to do more of. Restoring humanity means helping each other and putting all the greed and problems aside and making the world a better place. In the website Sandy Storyline one of the audio clips called New York's Finest shows an example of restoring humanity. Due to hurricane sandy there was a broken traffic light so a lady and 2 other guys who joined her became a human traffic light. "Its much quieter and more peaceful and people are safer I'm glad I'm here"(Ellen). Ellen decided to step up and help the entire neighborhood. She could of ignored the broken traffic light but instead she tried to fix the problem the best she could. The reason why I said earlier that the residence showed more compassion then the government officials is because in the same audio clip when two cops saw the three people being human traffic lights all they told the people was if they don't leave there going to be in trouble. The police officers should have told them when the traffic light was going to be fixed or at least stand there and direct the traffic. We need to focus more on restoring humanity we need more people who do things from the kindness of their hearts.
