Generally, I don't think anyone likes crises. I also don't think people cause or make up crises to get attention they need. I think it's often more about hiding progress than needing a crisis. I also think that life teaches us the crises get us attention. Even as adults, when something bad happens in the media, do you see how many people come out and join the cause? But it's usually only when something bad happens. Then we're taught that the "squeaky wheel gets the oil".
