Excerpt
People with incredible inner strength may be extraordinary, but even average people can, when tested, show unsuspected reserves of inner strength. Such an idea is illustrated in two essays--one written by Brent Staples and the other by Bruno Bettelheim. In both we see how when ordinary people are placed in extreme situations, they will draw on these inner reserves and even rise above their own predispositions, if necessary, to survive.
