Do you think that crisis brings out the best in man?
Yes, I think crisis brings out the best in man. Take the recent Japanese earthquake for example. The Fukushima Daiichi plant was badly affected. There was a nuclear leak and high radiation levels which was harmful to man. Most residents and workers near the plant were evacuated for their safety. However, a team of fifty workers aged 50 to 70 stayed behind. They risked their own lives and personal health to attempt to cool the radiators and keep things under control.
On the contrary, there are exceptional cases. The CEO of Tokyo Electric Power did not make a public appearance the week after the disaster. As the CEO, it is the culture in Japan to take full responsibility should anything go wrong. However, the CEO conveniently disappeared during the time of mayhem and disaster, leaving the management of the plant to the workers.
