Insurance companies were pounded after the storm with many insurance claims due to all the flooding and wind damage. A lot of policies would not cover the flooding that was caused by storm surge. This left a lot of people with no money to fix their homes and an insurance policy that is useless. Not only were the people homeless, but also lost all of their clothes, beds, and valuables. Many of the valuables and memories could not be replaced.
b. Many travel with intent to remain in the country they visit, but this is not easily achieved. c. States worry about security, challenge of authority, cultural background, and cost. d.

As a result, better outcomes may become more and more hard to come by. As for the individuals, this could mean less money, education, or training for some immigrants. From an identity perspective, if NGOs and IGOs were left unchecked, could shape or transform the state in a negative way, maybe without even knowing it. Another ramification would be NGOs be allowed to be part of the democratic governments and decide what they want. Finally, for the individuals that may be affected, leaving this issue unchecked could cause them to make less money or send fewer remittances back home to their families.
Immigrant Social Structure Theories The social structure theories that best describe the circumstances immigrants encounter when leaving their native countries, is social disorganization and cultural deviance theories. Immigrants who live in disorganized countries and poor villages have a risk of their communities being high in crime. Due to the lack of businesses, declining populations, and deteriorating structures the social disorganization perspectives are easily seen. These factors along with the lack of resources are enough to make immigrants leave all they’ve ever known at a chance for a better life. Cultural deviance theories for immigrants exist because they feel breaking laws instead of conforming to laws are their only hope to survive.
Building an office and warehouse in areas away from the predictable natural disasters may prove to be more costly in the short term. These areas may be farther away from a lot of the population, causing customers to frequent closer suppliers. These solutions and scenarios will influence NFP in figuring out which solution to
It was then declared that Love Canal was and is still considered a very dangerous area to be near and to live on. “ Love Canal will likely long endure as a ‘national symbol of a failure to exercise a sense of concern for future generations'(Sam Howe Verhovek). In my own opinion, I believe that Love Canal should not now, nor ever have anymore houses or facilities built on it. Love Canal was and is a place that had many illnesses among its people. “residents exhibited a ‘disturbingly high rate of miscarriages ... Love Canal can now be added to a growing list of environmental disasters involving toxics, ranging from industrial workers stricken by nervous disorders and cancers to the discovery of toxic materials in the milk of nursing mothers.’ (Love Canal).
FEMA: Learning the Hard Way Student Name ESOL 400 Mary Warden Last Name 1 FEMA: Learning The Hard Way In August 29, 2005, one of the most devastating natural disasters struck the United States. Hurricane Katrina made an enormous damage to the people living in the Gulf Coast. The hurricane left an unimaginable suffering to people physically, psychologically, and financially. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), whose role was to prepare and organize actions necessary to warn and help people in national emergency situations, seemed to be disorganized delaying the help people needed in this particular situation. Hence, FEMA’s lack of preparation and organization led to a greater damage and suffering to people.
“But the Duvitches were marked people.” (3) This prevented them to do what they wished peacefully because where ever they went they would be harassed by the town folk. And that harassment helps to prevent them from feeling free. Moving into a new country is tough, but moving to a place where the community doesn’t accept you is much harder. Even though you are technically free, you can never be free unless you are accepted by the community you move to. This is shown in the short story The Strangers That Came to Town by Ambrose Flack.
Renia Laguerre Dr. Stephenson Psychology of culture “Crossing Over” The issues and challenges that immigrants and refugees go through are, being able to be a citizen in the United States, obtaining a residential card, and the process of receiving a green card or visa while in their country. Many groups are forced to move to another country because of war and oppression, and many decide to move for better living. The ones who are forced do not have a plan on where to live or where to go. Many times they are separated from their family and leave friends behind. Immigrants have a better chance because they plan to come to the United States, but the process of receiving a green card can take months or years to obtain.
Unfortunately, if an individual is choosing to become homeless there are often much bigger, darker rooted problems. For example, an individual in an abusive domestic relationship may choose to leave their home without a place to go for fear of their own safety. I believe it is important that an individual has the ability to maintain autonomy in knowing that when circumstances such as these arise society has adequately prepared to help. Such help may include shelters for victims of domestic abuse and transition homes so that self-improvement may be encouraged. Unfortunately poverty and homelessness are so intertwined that those who find themselves living on the streets often enter a vicious cycle that may inhibit self-improvement and according to Mills may then affect the general welfare of
