Rescue Culture

Rescue Culture refers to a societal tendency to prioritize aiding individuals in distress, often elevating the value of urgent, dramatic interventions over long-term solutions. This culture can manifest in various forms, from everyday acts of kindness to organized efforts in emergencies. While it fosters compassion and immediate support, it can also lead to a neglect of deeper issues or the systems that contribute to those emergencies. The challenge lies in balancing the immediate need to "rescue" with addressing the root causes of problems, ensuring that help is both effective and sustainable.
