Should solidarity with others be a principle of a company? If not what is the benefit to society, and what is non-solidarity anyway? Could it be discord, or indifference, or selfishness, or competition? I’d love to hear some examples of solidarity or non-solidarity. Meanwhile here are some definitions to keep us on the same page.
sol·i·dar·i·ty –noun (from dictionary.com)
from Wikipedia: Solidarity is the integration, and degree and type of integration, shown by a society or group with people and their neighbours. It refers to the ties in a society that bind people to one another.
And an Interesting Word Origin and History (again from dictionary.com)
solidarity (1841) came from the French solidarité “mutual responsibility” which came from solidaire (18th century) “interdependent, complete, entire,” which was from from the Old French (14th century) solide “firm, dense, compact,” which was from Latin solidus “firm, whole, entire” (related to salvus “safe”), which derived from from the ancient Proto-Indo-European language root sol- (4000 BC?) meaning “whole”.
