During the Great Tsunami, I heard reports of people who were orphaned being taken up by surrounding families and made part of their families.
I think that mind-set is a big thing that is missing in 'Western Culture' generally. I was heartened by the images and reports of NOLA people getting together and helping each other out and the world helping those in NOLA out.
Family is indeed vital (the notion of youngsters 'having' to leave home should be questioned and actually thought over instead of just accepted). Cooperation. Hope.
