  Harman Singh, a 22 year-old Sikh man, was praised on Friday after taking immediate action to save a child's life after being hit by a car in Auckland, New Zealand. He used his turban to help stop the bleeding from the child's head injuries, even though it is agains his religion to remove a turban in public. A Sikh's turban is not a religious symbol, but is one of the forms they praise their religion's founders. However, Harman has been given plenty of praise throughout social media for perhaps saving a child's life. The boy is now in stable condition thanks to this man's deed. Harman told The New Zealand Herald, "He needs something on his head because he's bleeding. That's my job, to help."

  I believe that what he did was right. I think more people should follow the same example Harman sets for helping people, even though it may be sacrificing something small in return. And despite, perhaps, some who might take Harman's actions the wrong way, he did what was morally right for his community and stands for what he believes in.
