Solidarity means the agreement between and support for the members of a group. Bonding means the process by which a close emotional relationship is developed. These two elements can be found around us such as our own family, class, and our uniform group: St John Cadets.
In St John, cadets always work as a team. We care for each other, when problems appear, we will find the solutions together and solve them efficiently. This can show the bonding between us. Let us listen to a story to learn about the importance of solidarity.
Once upon a time, there was an old man lived in a big farm with his three sons. Time past and the old man died, before his death, he told his three sons that they must work together to protect their home, but no one followed him.
After the old man died, the three sons only focused on the heritage distribution like how much area of the farmland they could own and the money they got. In this period, none of them care about the farm. They did not know that the quality of the soil was getting worse since no fertilizer were added. Besides, most of the poultry received diseases since the living area was dirty as no one was taking care of them.
When they discovered this situation, the value of the farm became much lower than before, they felt regret for this, and they finally realized the final words from their father. They started to work together in order to rebuild their home. The bonding between three of them were stronger than before.
Solidarity is important in our life; everyone should cooperate and care about each other to lead a good life.
