People experience the wrath of natural disasters like flash flood, landslide, and hurricane wind not just because these are all natural phenomena, but it is all due to humanity's neglect and exploitation towards nature. “Karma” as we say here in Philippines. But the question is, why do we really need to experience before we learn? Are we all PEOPLE that dumb for us not to understand what the consequences are?
Actually, we are also implicated by that flood. In other words, we are also affected by that unfavorable happening last week. My first-made reflective journal for that week swam with the flood. Hahaha. At first, my reaction was at rage because not only for the reason that it swam with the flood, but because the document which contained my RJ was deleted because I didn’t expect that to happen. And for that, I need to do my RJ again. Saya diba? Hahaha. What about you ma’am? Will you be also get angry when your work was just lost unexpectedly? But I don’t really expect Miss Razon to be at rage, honestly. Hahahah. I can’t imagine Miss Razon’s face at rage because I’m used at her face that always SMILES. Now I’m always practicing that, even if I’m a short-tempered person, I always smile even if there’s no reason to smile at all. Sometimes, I became truly used to it that even when I’m sleeping I also smiling. Kidding. Haha.
And that’s what I learned during this adversity. To always smile. I brought that lesson beyond our four walls. We also need to know that whatever may happen every time there is a typhoon, people should remember that it is not a revenge by nature, but rather it is a plea in which nature has been expressing it to everyone in the form of natural force. Nature has its own way to protect itself. Though it cannot speak, it can able to express its plea through actions. If people cannot discipline themselves, nature will show them how. It merely reverts back to them what they deserve to

People may do some different things like run, scream, hide, stay put and let it happen until their death but those are just a few ways people react to disastrous situations like a tsunami, tornado, or a fire.

    As nurses, we encounter ethical situations everyday regarding patient care. How we handle these situations promote equality while seeking rationality. After reading the two case studies presented, I will discuss in my reflective journal how the ethical issues were presented, the steps taken in the decision-making process to ethically address the issues, the lenses used and how these lenses influenced the decisions made, and also how these can relate to the workplace. The Baird Decision Model is a five step process that guides us through that decision-making process when making ethical decisions.…

    Sometimes, bad things happen. We can not always control it, or stop them from happening. The only thing that there is to do is to prepare, and know how to handle whatever life throws at us. Devastation can come in many forms, it can come as earthquakes, tsunamis, tornados, storms, and anything inbetween. After reading “Sometimes, the Earth is Cruel,” by Leonard Pitts, I found that the main theme that stands out is devastation.…

    In the last century in the United States there have been approximately sixty-five-hundred deaths incurred from hurricanes when taking into consideration only the top twenty deadliest. The numbers are incredibly difficult to verify when trying to account for a cumulative total and become especially staggering if taking into consideration the more than sixteen-hundred lives lost just last year in Hurricane Katrina, which was the second deadliest hurricane known to the United States. (source 5) While death tolls are obviously the worst figures to think about in conjunction with nature's fury, devastating totals of economic hardship are sad reality and sad when thought is focused on it, between money required for repairing damages and providing…

    2 items I would consider my best work on the right side of the journal is my baby dragon on page 80, and the Bikini Bottom Dihybrid crosses on page 88. I would consider the baby dragon my best work, simply because it is a decently drawn dragon which I mostly made out of my imagination. It also shows how genes can sometimes make certain organisms look odd, like my dragon with his long neck and short tail. Nonetheless, I am very proud of my dragon, Norbert II. The second item on the right side of my journal I would consider my best work is the Bikini Dihybrid cross on page 88. This is because I was very proud of how fast I was understanding the concept of Dihybrid crosses, which is a very simple subject, but I was still pleased with how fast…

    Natural disasters are events that occur beyond our control. They can become extremely violent and cause havoc across a society, making livelihood very devastating. Gilligan describes pathos as “those natural disasters or ‘acts of Nature’ sometimes called ‘acts of God’ over which we have no agency or control.”(pg 6) We’ve seen examples of pathos in our American society where our citizens have suffered due to a natural disaster. In August 2005 New Orleans experienced on of the most deadly hurricanes in its cities’ history with Hurricane Katrina. It was mounted one of the most deadly hurricanes in United States…

    Hurricane Puerto Rico

    When Puerto Ricans found out through social media that there was going to be a second Hurricane in two weeks people got crazy. They went to supermarkets and pharmacies to buy all the necessity things. There was no ice and gasoline so, people got desperate and started robbing. Also, the heavy rain from Hurricane Maria made a rupture in the Guajataca Dam in Quebradillas that could flood the entire town due to the threat of a failure. According to BBC News the National Weather Service announced flash flood warning and immediate evacuation for local residents. Because of this, the Mayor of Quebradillas accused the Governor of Puerto Rico for causing hysteria and stress to the locals when no one from the government has reached out to discuss the danger of a break in this dam. This shows how in the future people will lose trust and can divide communities instead of helping each other. It can also have an impact in the citizens…

    Environmental psychology does not just study how man affects his environment but also how the environment and natural occurrences affect man. The continual cause and affect cycle from both sides of the equation give purpose to environmental psychology as well as incorporating other disciplines. Unlike many disciplines that have a single focus, the focus of environmental psychology covers many areas of concerns. It incorporates other fields of psychology along with medical and scientific fields. The recent natural disasters of Japan will advance knowledge and theories in environmental psychology. This paper is a summary of an article focusing on the psychological impact of these disasters and how these events will advance understandings and theories in environmental psychology.…

    Last but not least, after understanding that these natural disasters are from God All-Wise, we should refer a verse from the Qur'an: “Whatever misfortune happens to you, is because of the things your hands have brought, and for many (of them) He grants forgiveness.” (Surah Al-Shura, 42:30). It is clear that these disasters are the result of our evil actions. What we must do – if any misfortunate happens to us – is to check out our deeds and revise what we have been doing, improve and correct ourselves immediately so that we can be from further punishments…

    It is obvious that these emotions occur during times of disaster. However, when such adversity is preventable, the effects are greater and more deeply felt. Take for instance the 9-11 terrorist attacks. This is far worser than Hurricane Ike because the 911 terrorist attacks were planned out to kill people and they were based on selfish reasons. Injury such as this, results in the collapsation of towers, the killing of innocent people and explotions. To make matters even worse, it was not only local it spread to other states.…

    But then, last November 8, 2013, Typhoon Yolanda happened. The typhoon that was way worse than Reming. The typhoon that nearly wiped out the whole Visayas, specifically Tacloban. Seeing and hearing all the news in all types of media, it saddened me, that it made me cry. It made me think about all the children that was about my age when Reming happened, how scared they might have felt, and how traumatic this calamity has been for them. I somehow knew how these children felt. But I know what they felt and what they are feeling right at this very moment is ten times more than what I felt.…
