Natural disasters and what to do with Previous experiences



Natural disasters and why we need to find ways to reduce their damage

Learning from past experiences is one of the best ways to prevent future disasters, but there are many factors that contribute which could make some efforts fail in vain. Although deaths caused by natural disasters don't contribute to the top causes of death in the world  they are steadily increasing, so it is best to take prior precautions. 
Often times when there is a natural disaster or a predicted one there typically will be a warning. These warnings do save lives, that is only if the people listen to the warning and take proper procedures to stay safe. But there will occasionally be people who ignore them because they were proven wrong in the past (Again past affects future). Other determinants are, the access to safety, information or, in a situation when your money deprived and the situations requires COLD. HARD. CASH. The Situations are different for everyone and are most undesirable to experience. It is best to avoid such things and follow what instructions were given. 
Communities of which have experienced the calamity of these natural disasters take a reasonable time to recover from them. Most of those communities have seen what has happened will have improved or added some systems which would assist them when the the next one comes (Another example of the past is affecting the future). 
Although these precautions and acts will not prevent a natural disaster they will help rebuild the community faster and with more efficiency. There are still many things which need improvement but learning from past experiences will surely be the best advantage we have against these natural disasters.

Cultural Anthropology

Gabriel Han Sep 16 IHSS Cultural Anthropology Blog I read an article about the Dead Sea Scrolls, and a study around them conducted by MIT. The Dead Sea Scrolls are a series of ancient Hebrew texts that were discovered in 1947. The study was focused on one scroll known as the Temple scroll, out of the 900 or so scrolls. The scrolls were hidden in jars on hillsides north of the Dead Sea, often under debris. The reason the Temple scroll was chosen was because it is the largest and most well preserved of the scrolls, despite the fact that the material is incredibly thin, at only 1/250 of an inch thick. The study was to investigate how the parchment was made, and what it was made of. Results showed it was processed in a strange way, and made of odd ingredients like evaporates that differed from the normal ones. This raises questions such as how did they make it, or come up with the idea for it? Scientists believe that understanding this parchment could provide insights into the cultur...

Further Investigation of Immigration

Andreas Cantu Mr. Roddy IHSS 12 April 2020 Chinese Immigration  Between the years 1845 and 1855 the US saw a massive influx of chinese immigrants. This was due to the gold rush in California. Chinese immigrants would leave the friends and family in search of a better life with more opportunities in America, and gold rush gave them their best shot at making it big in America. Although they had hopes to join the gold mining most of them took jobs with coal mining companies for little to no commision. This was huge problem for the immigrants, because it made life in America very difficult. As time went on they had begun opening up small business wherever they could, this helped them integrate their culture into the American culture and help them feel more at home. The American Robber Barons saw Chinese immigrants as noting but cheap labor. In 1863 The transcontinental railroad began its six year long construction, stretching from Sacramento California to Omaha, as more Chinese...

Thoughts on Engagement

After doing the research for my challenge project on kill and no kill animal shelters, I have decided that I want to find a way to educate people on the internet without stating any form of opinion in order to be informative without being offensive. What I want to do is make a website that will have information both good and bad on kill and no kill animal shelters in an effort to educate the public on the matter. many people will for blind opinions on specifically kill shelters as they don't do the research and end up attacking people without any information on the matter. This is something that people need to know about because it is important that people who are thinking about adopting an animal know what they are getting in to before they do so impulsively. I will also include information on why sterilizing animals is so important to the issue of strays and why people should consider sterilizing their household pets as well as it only puts their animal in danger and makes them w...
