Introduction:
The Poor cannot very often choose to live in places that are good for health.<br /> <br /> The Poor in the cities have to find places on least wanted land that no-one else<br /> wants. Such land can be on steep, muddy slopes as is the case in many countries in<br /> Latin America. When it rains heavily the sides of the slopes at times give in, since<br /> they are made of gravel and mud, and people and houses follow in huge mudslides.<br /> <br /> Many Poor live close to their source of income. Along many coasts worldwide, poor<br /> people live from fishing, which does not require a lot of equipment, only a small<br /> boat and a net. Their houses are often built by the shores, which are vulnerable<br /> when heavy storms and hurricanes hit. Storms and hurricanes are growing stronger<br /> and more frequent as global warming heats up the planet. For a hurricane to form,<br /> the ocean water has to reach 24 degrees Celsius, and it becomes stronger when<br /> traveling long distances over warm waters.<br /> <br /> As the ocean water levels rise because of ice caps melting in Greenland and<br /> Antarctica, coastlines and whole cities that lie close to or under sea level, become<br /> dangerous places to live. In rich countries such as Holland, where much of the<br /> country lies under sea level, the government has built strong walls along the coast to<br /> protect the land. In poor countries such as Bangladesh, the government does not<br /> have the same resources, and here millions of people live in areas that are often<br /> flooded – until they give up and move, but that is not easy as Bangladesh is a small<br /> country with 120 million people.<br /> <br /> Coastal areas can also be affected by tsunamis, such as in southeast Asia in 2005<br /> where coastlines along the Indian Ocean were hit and 250,000 died.<br /> <br /> When earthquakes strike areas where the Poor live, the disaster will claim many<br /> human lives. This was the case in Haiti in 2010, where 300,000 people died, as their<br /> houses collapsed. Safe houses in earthquake zones must be made with many iron<br /> bars in the concrete structures to prevent them from falling. But people who are<br /> poor cannot afford such construction. They have to live in the hope that the<br /> earthquake will not strike in their area.
Directive:
1. Read the text written after the Asian Tsunami in 2005.<br /> <br /> 2. Read Chapter 19, “Blanking the Beach – The second tsunami” from “The<br /> Shock Doctrine”, by Naomi Klein, 2007, page 487-512.<br /> <br /> 3. Describe how the natural disaster was taken avenged of.<br /> <br /> 4. Investigate if there are similarities between the aftermath of this disaster and<br /> “Katrina in USA” or the earthquake in Haiti.<br /> <br /> 5. Write the examples you have found and compare them with the Asian<br /> Tsunami.<br /> <br /> 6. Send them to your teacher.
