Or how soldiers bond together like a family in ¨The Moral Logic of Survival Guilt¨ by Nancy Sherman an editorial, about keeping each other safe and how they feel guilty when they can't save each other. Then in the podcast ¨The Key to Disaster Survival? Friends and Neighbors¨ by Shankar Vedantam, one of the examples the podcast speaks about is a man giving his generator to someone to help save his father live.

Neighbors help so much since they live so close neighbors and family help so much to help emotionally. …show more content…
