Crisis Help!! -- Andres Acosta

(4)

There was one time when I was in a hurry to my job because I was going to be late. I was picking up some Mc Donnalds and a lady stopped me for help. She had just arrived the country and did not speak english. She was trying to apply for a job at Mc Donnalds and she did not understand what the application asked for. I felt really bad and hesitated, but I decided to help her and guide her through the application since no one else wanted to help her. I ended up being late about 10 minutes, and told my manager what happened and he actually believed me and did not mark me late! Helping that woman also made me feel a lot better about myself.

The thesis of this essay is "as we shall show, the presence of other bystanders may at each stage inhibit his action". I found the thesis at the end of the essay by the last paragraph. I am not sure what type of argument it is, but I am thinking it is Constructive.

The author's statement "it's a rare traveler whom in picking a roadside restaurant, chooses to stop at one where no other cars appear in the parking lot" means that many people like to fit in or go to places where lots of people go. When new restaurants or businesses open, many people don't go to it because it is not well known or because other people do not go to it. This means that our society is based people not being themselves because they want to fit in.

In this article there was a woman who was attacked by a burglar who broke into her house. She managed to escape and go downstairs to ask for help and two local restaurant workers responded to her and saw the man running out! They immediately took off after the burglar and in the rumble the burglar stabbed Joe Geinosky (one tof the two sumaritans) in the arm and slashed his chest! Geinosky decided to keep going after him. After chasing the burglar to a dead end and a garage the police arrived and arrested the person. Geinosky is now in the hospital under observation for the stabbing and cuts he received. The burglar is now in custody of the police and is being processed for attempted burglary and attack on Geinosky. The police are also investigating if this burglar is also responsible for the neighborhood'a past burglaries.

This article relates to crisis because many people would have chosen to keep on going with their lives and left the women alone. These two great civilians decided to make a difference and help out without expecting anything out of it. Geinosky stated that "anyone else would have done the same".
