Heliotrope Enterprises

In the first answer, the departments of US federal government are criticized strongly for not being able to prepare to deal with the catastrophic destruction of the hurricane. This answer further tells that the disaster went up to huge scale due to the connectivity of global drivers as being part of SESs which is true because global drivers are dominating the local ones in today’s era. Another issue here that arose was that in many towns the people who were left behind started looting the stores. Nearly 80% of Orleans’ structures got damage by the hurricane which in my point of view is quite optimistic figure as one can see in the path of the hurricane that the main target of it seemed Orleans which it swept off. There is lots of critic in the answer about mismanagement of the US departments on relief activities. Where government was; during this adversity remains big question mark. Why the government bureaucrats were not able to carry out relief activities? Why they had not enough money to accommodate the victims of the hurricane?

The leg which is bearing most of the weight is engaged and the ...

After 9/11, the Patriot Act was promulgated to protect the collective security of the people . Some of people’s liberties—especially the right to privacy—had to be curtailed to trace possible sources of terrorism. Under the circumstances of 9/11, these seemed to be acceptable practices. In situations such as war of that of 9/11 (the US eventually went to war against Iraq), curtailment of people’s rights are expected and are acceptable practice. In different contexts however, the application of such laws can be perceived as abuse and discrimination.
