The Rejection of Barabbas

Abstract

After the makeshift tents of the Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement had folded, a not so silent exocentric altruistic values shift started. The New York Times reported that after Hurricane Sandy hit, “… Occupy Wall Street protestors rushed to apply their rabble rousing hustle to cleaning out houses, clearing debris, and raising more than $1.5 million for relief efforts. In some minds, Occupy members had become less a collection of disaffected class warriors than a group of efficient community volunteers” (Nir, 2013).
