I don't believe that if you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem. I was taught the quote "Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." There are some things you cannot change, therefore getting involved isn't always a good thing, or the right thing to do. Sometimes situations are completely out of your hands, and putting yourself into the matter can complicate things further. It's all a matter of perspective. Sometimes not doing anything can seem to put you in an ethical gray area, and this is when you must think about the possible outcomes.
Lakshmi is in no slightest way, the problem just because she doesn't do anything about the huge issue of sex slavery. This is something so much bigger than her, especially since she is so younge, that her reaching out and attempting to fix the problem seems crazy. Lakshmi had the chance to tell the American police about what what going on at 'Happiness House' but there are to many factors, and it is to risky. I have no ideas on how she could have handled her situation without hurting someone.
