The world we live in is easily the most perfectly imperfect system, comprising anything and everything: all of time, all of space, and every person to have ever existed. The best possible example of finding order and reason within the seemingly perpetual and infinite disorder of the universe, is faith. Whether through the organized religions of the billions of people on earth, or through individual spirituality. The fact that we know so little about the world we live in, causes people to look to the supernatural to explain even the most natural of all things. Destructive weather phenomena? God’s plan. Death of someone? God’s plan. Even those who don’t consider themselves religious, still turn to the idea of Karma when someone has wronged them. You, just like myself and all people, are guilty of this. It’s not our fault though, humans are predisposition to look towards the sky for answers of phenomena.
In a December 2010 study by Beth Azar and the APA, Azar states “Adults tend to search for meaning during times of

It is seemingly random that a massively destructive hurricane could devestate an entire coastline of a nation, misplace thousands if not millions, and result in billions of dollars in damage. Some people will say “It’s God’s plan.” Let's skip over the absurd notion that and all loving God would choose to let people suffer and die, and focus on scientifically or statistically proving exactly why the storm occurred. this is where we see the largest divide between religion and science. we can study these mass of storms and the impact that they have on people and society. we can determine exactly what factors went into creating the storm. we can even go as far as to looking into preemptive measures for future storms. with all this said, it takes the time and energy to actually look into the scientific basis for such; to bring chaos and disorder, in to
Book Review: Isaac’s Storm Introduction: Isaac’s Storm: A Man, a Time, and the Deadliest Hurricane in History, written by Erik Larsen, is a book which may very well be called one-of-a-kind, as it describes one of the most disastrous of the natural calamities of the world-the Galveston hurricane of 1900 and the events which precede it. The author has carefully analysed the hurricane, scrutinized the impact caused by the actions of several people prior to the hurricane that ultimately resulted in massive destruction (Larson, 2011). He has pointed out with precision how the wrongful thought processes of that time led to such a tragedy. Review: The author has pointed out the fact that the thoughtless actions of some men are mostly to blame for the tragedy.
Statement of the Problem Among the events that have had a drastic shaping on human events throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries are natural disasters. Often times, a natural disaster will leave residents of affected areas in a state of awe as they seek to understand what exactly happened. One such example is Hurricane Hugo.
“Boom”(lighting strikes) a storm begins. But do we really Understand what a storm is and what it’s capable of doing.” The perfect storm” and “ super disasters of the 21st century” both have the same topic but different techniques. Junger and Adam both explain the cause-and-effect of natural disasters although the way of explaining is different they’re still talking about the same goal. Sleet,clouds,waves,wind,temperature they all have part in the perfect storm.
These high winds can easily destroy homes and buildings. Tornados are also often produced by hurricanes. Some hurricanes develop several tornadoes, while others create none at all. more than half of hurricanes that happen will develop at least one tornado. There is no way to predict which hurricanes will produce tornadoes.

Can you imagine going through long battle with a disease only to be told that you have only 6 more months to live. All of these thoughts and questions start running through your head and you feel like you’re dreaming or having some sort of out of body experience. Being diagnosed with a terminal illness is unimaginable, emotional and physically trying. Cancer is the number one leading cause of terminal death in the United States, to put that into a better perspective one out of every four deaths is cancer related. That’s about 564,000 deaths annually and 1,500 deaths per day.
Why has dignity become the defining and unifying aspect of the right to die debates? Whether “Dying with dignity” is defined as having a meaningful death or as a death without undue suffering or loss of autonomy (as proposed by the right to die movement), “dying with dignity” is now synonymous with having “a good death.” Dignity represents a taken for granted ideal of both sides of the debate, with an assumption that all human beings desire to die with dignity. Many right to die advocates argue for more relative and contingent definitions and understandings of dignity. In current terms, dignity is subjective and may depend on how the person views their mental and physical being.
The storm itself did a great deal of damage, but its aftermath was catastrophic due to the lack of
The way the media portrays an incident affects how those reviewing the media regard the incident at hand – whether it is viewed as a “disaster” or not. Hurricane Katrina Slams into Gulf Coast; Dozens Are Dead by Joseph B. Treaster and Kate Zernike highlights Hurricane Katrina as a disaster through victimization of those in New Orleans, naturalization of the hurricane, and by choosing to highlight government aid instead of the privatization of hurricane relief. Hurricane Katrina Slams into Gulf Coast; Dozens Are Dead chose to highlight incidents from the hurricane that in turn portrays the people of New Orleans as victims. This victimization lends to the creation of Hurricane Katrina as a disaster. In order for there to be a disaster, there
There are numerous incidents that we can’t believe in the world, so many people often suspect that it was behind on the incident, and then people feel interest in them. It is called “conspiracy theories”. Some people think that all incidents happen for a reason such as control and order of the government or mafia. People wonder why people usually seem to doubt it themselves. Some experts insist that is because it occurs when supply of information is less than demand of information.
If your loved one is/was fatally injured due to the recklessness, negligence or even intentional acts of someone else, then it is known as the wrongful death. When you contact a Boynton Beach Personal Injury Lawyer, the lawyer will pursue the case of wrongful death depending upon the facts you bring across. Usually the case is filed on behalf of the dependents of the deceased person such as spouse, children, parents, siblings, grandchildren or even grandparents. Most of the claims for the wrongful death are due to medical malpractice, auto accidents, bicycle/pedestrian accidents, truck accidents, negligent security, aviation/railroad accidents, watercraft accidents, unsafe premises, nursing home abuse or even defective products.
If you knew that you had very little time left to live, how would you want to go? Would you rather die peacefully without pain, or in agony and excruciating pain for up to months before you finally go? In our country, the first option is only legal in a few states. Everyone should have the option to end their life on their own terms. This is why death with dignity should be legal in every state.
INTRODUCTION Catastrophes affect humanity all the time but two of the most memorable in history are Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Harvey. Hurricanes are first seen from the satellite. This means that the hurricanes are spotted right away, it gets predicted where its going to impact first and how strong it can be when it hits the ground. These hurricanes are extremely dangerous because of its high-speed winds it comes with and the amount of rain produced by them, this makes it worst because they can last for days.
Although this storm has broken many records, it also caused catastrophic events. In anticipation
One of the reason that cause hurricane it’s depend on environment. Hurricane use the warm air and warm ocean as the power of the storm. As being said, the warm temperature that form above the ocean create the rotating wind because when warm air and cool air are touching together then it makes an area of lower pressure, warm air is lighter than cool air so higher air pressure pushes into the lower pressure area and it cause hurricane.
