Many of the people of the people of Bangladesh have to migrate and move to new areas that are suffering from the same situation they are in ‘’Dhaka each day, fleeing river flooding in the north and cyclones in the south. Many of them end up living in the densely populated slum of Korai. And with hundreds of thousands of such migrants already, Dhaka is in no shape to take in new residents. It's already struggling to provide the most basic services and infrastructure.’’(The coming storm Paragraph 13) The author shows how one problem or even a solution can lead to another, by explaining how if they migrate to another place they can cause more damage and lose lives along the way and other reasons being caused by own government industrialized countries ‘’Supported by governments of the industrialized countries—whose greenhouse emissions are largely responsible for the climate change that is causing seas to rise” (The coming storm).

    Robert Ebert, columnist for the Chicago Sun, argues the lack of a real plotline in the movie, “Paranormal Activity 2,” makes the movie terrible. What makes people continue to go watch the paranormal activity series is the scare they receive when watching it. Ebert uses the repetition of the word “gotcha” instead of the word scare to lower the reputation of the movie so that you view the movie as childish. Also, Ebert comments on the unnecessary use of stating the time and day. He shows that he did not understand why the directors would state that there was a certain amount of “days before the death of Micah Sloat.” Ebert criticizes the fact by stating “What are we supposed to do…

    Geographic Factors Dbq

    Monsoons are one uncontrollable geographic factor that plays a huge role on the outcome of the world’s living conditions and adaptations. A monsoon is a seasonal prevailing wind that blows for a whole season in the region of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Every summer, southern Asia and India, is drenched by rain that comes from these moist air masses. It is difficult to fully adapt to and understand the works of a monsoon due to its variation of strength and intensity from year to year. On a year with less hydration, crops suffer due to their dependence for a certain amount of water. On a year with more rainfall, crops drown from the flooding results of the monsoon. Crops are not the only aspect being affected by these floods. The other conclusions were shown and written by Priit J. Vesilind in a National Geographic, “Last year [1983] the city lay under water mixed sewage, rotting grain, and floating carcasses of dead animals. Elsewhere in the state flash floods swept away a locomotive and three railcars.” (doc.6a) Destruction and harsh living conditions is what the people of Varanasi faced in 1983. Shown in the photograph by Steve McCurry in the National Geographic, this city is adapting to these circumstances by means of transportation. Limited transportation meant a modification in trade. In the book, The World That Trade Created, M. E. Shapre discusses this problem, “All across maritime Asia—from Canton…

    In the introduction to Martin Luther King's "Why We Can't Wait", he uses stylistic, narrative and persuasive devices to capture the reader's attention. The passage roughly describes the life for an African-American back in the 1960s. If you sit back and ponder upon that idea, the question "Why?" might come to mind. Why? What was King's reason to write this passage and how did he want to get it across to his audience? Well, let's analyze this through football knowledge.…

    Political and trade relations across borders are not now new phenomena. Imperialism, colonialism, and military conquest have, infact, always accompanied human societies and have historically produced multinational economic networks, displacement of populations, culturally heterogeneous countries, and multinational empires under the supervision of hegemonic political powers (Edward Said,1993).…

    Uttrakhand Flood

    • 1458 Words
    • 6 Pages

    It is one week since Uttarakhand’s worst disaster in living memory. Flash floods resulting from extremely intense rainfall swept away mountainsides, villages and towns, thousands of people, animals, agricultural fields, irrigation canals, domestic water sources, dams, roads, bridges, and buildings — anything that stood in the way. A week later, media attention remains riveted on the efforts to rescue tens of thousands of pilgrims and tourists visiting the shrines in the uppermost reaches of Uttarakhand’s sacred rivers. But the deluge spread far beyond the Char Dhams — Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath — to cover the entire State. The catchments of many smaller rivers also witnessed flash floods but the media has yet to report on the destruction there. Eyewitness accounts being gathered by official agencies and voluntary organisations have reported devastation from more than 200 villages so far and more affected villages are being reported every day. Villagers whose homes, lands and animals have been swept away by the floods are in a state of shock trying to imagine day-to-day survival without their basic livelihood assets. Distorted coverage The national media’s focus on the plight of tourists has grossly distorted the true nature of the tragedy even in the Char Dham area. It has not reported on the fate of the thousands — almost all male — who come from the villages in these valleys (and elsewhere) to earn a major part of their families’…

    I went on a three week trip to visit my parents’ homeland Bangladesh when I was in eighth grade. As a developing country, Bangladesh’s infrastructure support new transportation, a greater power supply, mass communication and distribution of water. I have heard that the capital, Dhaka, has the world’s thirteenth largest mall called Bashundura. In the city, car dealers have all the latest models and designs of cars, other large malls and buildings built everywhere just as a thriving city would. But so far, the city reminds me of a developed city in a modern nation rather than a city in a developing country. But, there were many impoverished people on the streets of the city as there were in the village. The streets of the city were very congested with a huge amount of people, cars, and other forms of transportation such as rickshaws. As one can see, there are many factors that contribute to overpopulation in Bangladesh. Regardless of the currently prospering economy, it is difficult for developing countries, like Bangladesh, to become an established country because of a rapidly growing population that…

    Political Violance

    • 3090 Words
    • 13 Pages

    Political violence is hardly a new phenomenon, however novel the public and media attention to certain of its forms makes it appear. Nor has it ever been one-sided or singular in scope: political violence has multiple forms, perpetrators, victims and purposes. It transpires alongside and interlaces with non-violent politics and multiple struggles for peace and justice; it is habitually a part of modern political life but never the whole story. Political violence is like a festering wound, in that, without the aid of antibiotics the wound has the potential to depress the immune system and eventually overwhelm the individual, leading to death. Political violence in Bangladesh has been an integral part of Bangladeshi politics unlike the other sub-continental traditional politics. The human rights situation in Bangladesh has been worsening day by day and this is very alarming as to a significant stage the rights are being violated by the state itself. From bureaucracy to professionals, public procurement to conducting of public examination, politicization and criminalization are going rampantly everywhere. Various institutions are objected to malfunctioning at political will causing further deterioration of institutionalization contrary to the good governance and a healthy culture. Political violence is not unique to Bangladesh. Most developing countries suffer from far more serious bouts of internal turmoil. In these days when terrorists, insurgents and militants have replaced freedom fighters, jacqueries and anarchists among the first order of public enemies, when wars on all kinds of terror have become ubiquitous elements of everyday political life, it is worth taking a step back to consider and evaluate the nature, roots, meanings and consequences of political violence. As a researcher, I want to be conduct a research on political violence to root out it from our ‘Beautiful Bangladesh’.…
