I believe Sandy was worse than Katrina. Because it had a greater impact on humans by destroying the building and killing more people. The people in the disaster that were affected by Sandy were by millions and Katrina as well. But not as much as sandy. It states, population affected by Sandy was 17,676,119 in artifact 4 and the population for Katrina was 15,000,000. So sandy is worse than Katrina even in kinetic energy and landfall. It says in artifact 3 sandy was 150 mph intensity and for Katrina was 120 mph. So which is still worse than Katrina. Also, many people will agree with me like the mayor of new york. It states, “The mayor of new york states that “Hurricane Katrina, in many ways, was not as impactful as hurricane sandy, believe it…

Katrina didn’t expect a huge hurricane because when it hit Florida it was a category 1 killing 3 people. So they taught that they wouldn’t get hit hard and it was just another tropical hurricane. Well they guessed wrong, because once it had went over water it had picked up speed and had became category 3 hurricane. This had then caused over 80 percent of New orleans to be flooded. Katrina then became a category 1, once it had hit Mississippi. Floodwater did not recede for weeks. This had left them with no water and no…
Citizens from every state across the U.S. responded immediately to the attacks by giving blood and donating much-needed items to shelters, where an overwhelming amount of aid was sent to assist the itinerant victims. However, it's ironic that the American people who were so benevolent and charitable for the populace of the 9/11 tragedy would turn their backs on and as soon as forget about the southern states devastated by Hurricane Katrina. American's own self-centeredness gave way and gave way to greed, when the Louisiana didn't receive the same helpful consideration New York.…

The balance between amusement and critique is a central dynamic of successful satire, as it is through humour that the satire may censure its target, prompting the respondent to revaluate their own perspective with that of the satirist. Through his hyperbolic depiction of the nepotism inherent in the diplomatic posting system in The Ambassador, Sitch’s series The Hollowmen reveals the malleability of political values. Sitch furthers his satire of such political expediency through his ironic depiction of the policy making process in Rear Vision in which he exposes the artifices that characterise the modern Australian political landscape. Similarly, Moir’s reductio ad absurdum critique of Australian immigration policy in his cartoon Australian Values Test challenges the exclusivism entrenched in facile notions of Australian identity. Ultimately both texts emphasise the distinction between parody and satire, suggesting that whilst both forms rouse amusement satire has the additional function of critiquing the prevailing facades of society. Through his depiction of the nepotistic machinations of the Central Policy Unit in The Ambassador, Sitch exposes the tension that exists between political necessity and the self-serving agendas of politicians. In highlighting the dilemma presented by the Prime Minister’s eagerness to appear non-partisan by stopping “clapped-out party hacks getting plum overseas postings” and the need to “make one more”, Sitch establishes the quintessential political conflict between an idealistic desire for transparency with the practical necessity for deception. Such a conflict is evident in Sitch’s use of Warren and Phillip, preeminent caricatures of political naivety, as foils to the dissembling pragmatists Tony and Murph. Sitch heightens this conflict through the scene-cut from the scrupulousness embodied…

Those days when Hurricane Sandy came by for the area of NJ were the worst stressful days in my life. I did not pay much attention at first when a saw in the news last year that a Hurricane was going to pass the area of NY and NJ.

As a result, I started to pay more attention to the news, and I put interest in what would I do in case of an emergency.…

On October 22, 2012, it was announced by The Office of Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management (ODPEM,) that a tropical depression (Sandy) was headed towards the shores of Jamaica and that the arrival to our shores would be on October 24. On the 24th Sandy approached and the effects were devastating. The winds caused several trees to plummet, taking down power lines, utility poles and homes with them. The winds blew roof tops off and destroyed several produce causing a huge devastation to the agricultural sector. The rainfall caused several homes and roads impassible and even completely flooded a number of communities. The storm surges caused shores to be evacuated as the tides were too high and strong for shore home owners to weather the storm. .” 70% of Jamaicans were without electricity after the passage of Sandy due to down power lines, fire and blown transformers. Many roads were impassible due to trees that had fallen. “Minister of State in the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Hon. Ian Hayles, says early estimates indicate that close to 11,000 farmers across the island have been affected by Hurricane Sandy, with some 1,500 hectares of crops “totally destroyed.” (Reynolds-Baker, 2012).” He goes on to highlight the breakdown of early estimates of damages that amounted to $700 million. . Understanding the effects such as wind damage, flooding and storm surges can better help us as Jamaicans and the Jamaican government to prepare for tropical depressions, storms and hurricanes. If the government takes short and long term steps along with its current hurricane initiative, it will reduce the amount of damages by a significant amount of dollars and the Jamaican society will be able to…
