Together We Stand Hum/114 Together We Stand In this town lived a small population of people. The people of the town grew into a close tight knit community. While living in this town the people there were happy and grew to rely on each other. The size of the town was a benefit to all because it caused the people of the town to become closer than those that lived in larger cities. The towns’ people had no issues and they lived for many years free from worry. Then the life of the community would become divided when the town people became ill. Between their happy life and an unexplained mysterious illness, the town was torn. As the people in the town are becoming sick one by one it can be asked how, but first the question should be what exactly is making the community ill' Some cases range from mild symptoms such as headache and nausea to more moderate symptoms such as with the flu. In the most severe cases there are positive test results for cancers and even death. What is going on in the community to cause the onset of these symptoms and how did it happen' Investigations are taking place into the soil and water supply that the town has lived on and around since it was founded. There has not been any one thing that has been conclusive as of this moment. The Genetic tests were even given in the beginning in hopes that the family afflicted was to be the only one of its kind. Testing the soil and the water revealed something more shocking. There is evidence of contamination due to the negligence of the utility company. Since the discovery of contaminants in the soil the towns’ people are waiting to find out what will happen from here. The company is responsible for this tragedy they have made and they need to apologize to the people and figure out what the next step is to resolve the problem. What the main question should be is how did the chemicals become a contaminator in the first place' The community needs to hold the utility company responsible and figure out where they all went wrong. The company needs to investigate another form of disposal that keeps the residents of the community safe. There needs to be some form of assurance from the company that they will keep this tragedy from occurring again and also that they intend on making the situation right by possibly offering monetary compensation to the families affected. For a community to have the ability to move on from this tragedy it may take an enormous amount of understanding and support from one another. If the company will make the right choices from now on in regards to the disposal of chemicals, the community may be able to move on the path to forgiveness. As the community heals from the past they reach out and help each other through these rough times. The whole community has come together and turned this crisis into a learning experience and an opportunity to lend a helping hand to one another. So now the question remains, who will come out on top' Does the company resolve the problem with minimal backlash and mend their reputation with the community' Can the town be healed and move on to a better place' Only time will tell how this will end up. As these events finally come to a close we have many unanswered questions. Can this company bounce back from the pain it has caused' Will the company renew its’ reputation with the community' Can the people of the town forgive and forget or just have the ability to simply forgive' What will make the community maintain their bonds they have created with each other even after the crisis is over and there is nothing to fight for'
