一个社会的稳定取决于如何满足人类的极端行为

ould be beyond everybody＇s imagination. So, we can say, a nation＇s response in emergency is of the utmost importance. If one can＇t deduce it from general principles, he can easily know it from concrete examples.



The 9.11 event, for instance, did weaken America to some extent, but it also shows the strength of the great nation, especially people in its financial center
New York. After the plane crashed into the Pentagon, the world is shocked. But American citizens still act calmly. People working in that building walked down orderly, giving way to the wounded; the medical workers hurried to the spot, giving first aid:the mayor made out a series of strategies to bring the city back to peace; even the President himself made a encouraging speech to comfort all his people. Not long after that, everything is back to normal (stock index not included). America still stands as it was.



Unfortunately, things in Brazil didn＇t go that well. Small fluctuation in economy (here I＇d like to broaden the meaning of "extremes of human behavior")drove people to rush to cash their money in the bank, as if their deposits were to become a pile of waste paper in no time. Of course, banks were not prepared to afford such a large sum of money. The result? The economy in Brazil still lies in paralysis today.
