For weeks,
Facebook has been a plethora of campaign ads increasing as the election draws
closer. Hurricane Sandy's arrival began to penetrate the political posts; the
Facebook family began to pay attention to the needs of those whose lives were
in the path of this ginormous catastrophe. Photographs, videos and posts
consistently updated, commanded our attention: a plea for help.
Our technology
is like a double edged sword - the ability to have instant information is
phenomenal yet seeing the demolition as it occurred; I could only imagine the
pain those who have been traumatized by Hurricane Sandy.
Hurricane
Sandy has taken lives and left horrendous destruction, yet we the American
people have an insurmountable strength to overcome diversity.
We the
American people have been known to argue and terminate communication when
someone attempts to negate our candidate/ beliefs yet in the midst of Hurricane
Sandy, we the American people shelved our differences to unite and help
those in need.
A question I
ask myself, “What if this happened to me?” There isn’t a doubt; I know I would
be grateful for any contribution.
May this find
you making a difference.
