It also presents a cast of co-conspirators criminals, among whom are George Bush and his gang, as well as racism, poverty and police brutality.

    The aftermath of Hurricane Katrina may be remarked as a very important aspect to understand the relationship between federal, state, and local governments when it comes to major catastrophe. In Katrina’s case, federalism is seen as central to what was largely a government-created disaster. Numerous scientific articles are trying to offer various interpretations of what went wrong and why; however, out of all perspectives, I find Stephen Griffin’s argument most persuasive.…

The French/Spanish architecture gives it a romantic and mysterious appeal. The air was not as fresh as I had wished it was but at least I could still breathe.

Residents, not only tourists, walked past it as if trash belonged on the ground.…

    Following hurricane Katrina many people wonder whether the country’s worst natural disaster was due to a lack of preparation by the government or more with race or with class.
