The relentlessness of these effects on the larger economy depends on numerous issues, including the disaster itself, the pretentious area and the volume of national and regional institutions to provide relief and begin efforts to reestablish surroundings. When it came down to it, “Hurricane Katrina’s damage affected not only the U.S. Gulf Coast, but the national and global economy as well” (“The Effect of Natural Disasters on the Economy” 1). The disastrous storm restructured the movement of goods and service, the world prices for energy, food trade, building materials to rebuild what have been damaged, individual spending choices, and company incomes. Therefore, “natural disasters always alter the building blocks of economic productions” (“The Effect of Natural Disasters on the Economy” 1). Personal misfortune through injury or death decrease the size and eminence of work in the labor force.
In research the residence of New Orleans feel that those in power have pointed the finger at the federal government for the delayed relief effort. Experts say when natural disasters strike, it is the primary responsibility of the state and local governments and not the responsibility of the federal government to respond to such disasters. New Orleans emergency plan states that it will utilize the available resources to quickly and safely evacuate the most threatened areas. The plan also stated that it would evacuate people who are unable to transport themselves. When New Orleans was warned about the hurricane the plan was not utilized and those who were unable to transport themselves were left to die because there were delayed rescue efforts to help them to get to a safe haven.
Appiah, in his Moral Disagreement essay, provides a valid answer to this question, “The point is not that we couldn’t argue our way to one position or the other on this question; it’s only to say that when we disagree, it won’t always be because one of us just doesn’t understand the value that’s at stake” (p. 666). Just because different cultures eat different things, even something you might call a pet, it means you shouldn't judge them for it. Another point that comes across in Gender, Class, and Terrorism is the understanding of religion. Kimmel states, “The journalist Nasra Hassan interviewed families of Middle Eastern suicide bombers (as well as some failed bombers themselves) and found that none of them had the standard motivations ascribed to people who commit suicide, such as depression” (p. 652). This is because these bombers weren’t depressed.
This essay will address the factors that affect the quality of human life in the 2011 Japan and 2004 South Asia tsunamis, and what made them become two of the word's biggest disasters. Tsunamis become disasters when they result in loss of lives, injuries, and displacement of human population. In the case of South Asia and Tohoku tsunamis the coastline was densely populated leading to thousands of lives being lost as well as extensive damage to infrastructure - these were two of the greatest disasters the modern world had ever seen. The 2004 South Asia tsunami caused more than 270,000 deaths in fourteen countries across two continents (The Bolton Council of Mosques 2007-2012), whereas the Tohoku tsunami had caused approximately 20,000 deaths. This latter death toll was surprisingly high as Japan has the world's largest seismometer network, tsunami barriers and earthquake early-warning system (Cyranoski, 2011).
The heavy rainfall flooded areas inland all the way up to the Virginias. The North Carolina region which depends on tourism was devastated. Property damages in North Carolina alone was over $2.3 billion. Hurricane Fran was the worst natural economic disaster to happen in North Carolina. Survivors of a natural disaster would have feelings of shock and grief, and want to rebuild their home and reconnect quickly with their loved ones.
When the world has a natural disaster, it is one of the most frightening and dangerous things around and can cause many negative outcomes. In the article “Recent Tornadoes and the Broken Window Fallacy,” by Julie Borowski June 02, 2011, it explains how horrible tornadoes in the Midwest and Massachusetts have caused hundreds of deaths and infrastructure, homes and businesses to be demolished. These events are devastating but nothing can be done to stop them since nature will take its course whether we like it or not. Julie Borowski mentions the broken window fallacy and how it relates to this topic. The brief summary of this policy is if something is destroyed by a natural or man-made disaster, then it is a boost to the economy because someone has to get paid in order to fix the destruction.
She caused billions upon billions of dollars in damage. The city’s lack of preparedness was as large of a culprit as the hurricane itself. If another hurricane strikes, the city will now be more ready. Katrina will definitely go down in the hall of fame for worst storms ever to hit this Earth. Works Cited Bellar, Ashley.
English 1302 WS7 05 April 2010 Individuality and the Law Today there are many laws that are written for the people of the United States. Within these laws are issues that some may find morally unjust, and not want to follow. In Sophocles’ play Antigone, written in 441 B.C.E., these same issues existed. Antigone felt that even though she was breaking the law to bury her brother she had a religious right to uphold. To her, the religious laws were more important than the governmental laws she was being asked to follow.
Because there are too many mixed feelings and perspectives regarding the issue. But I feel denotology would offer the best reasoning, explanation and/or problem solver. Not that everyone would agree, but this view point could begin a path to possibly finding a common ground on the moral issues that stems from suicide. Deontologists believe that no matter the reason, doing wrong to another person is wrong. Treat everyone as an equal and with pride.
Horrific injuries were inflicted upon everyone in the blast radius, upon women and children, and the lasting effects have still yet to fade. The psychological effects are unknown as well. Many survivors were most likely traumatized by seeing their entire lives turned to ruin, seeing family members dead, seeing their entire community turned to ashes. Thousands of years of culture, food, and literature was lost at the insensitivity of U.S. generals. Even though “The American government estimated 1,000,000 lives lost in a war”, civilians did not deserve to suffer for the sake of others (Zenger).
