Haiti Earthquake Analysis
The question surrounding the basis of the Haiti Earthquake paper is "What were the political affects on the country of Haiti before and after the earthquake?" My response to the question can be that before and after, the Haiti political situation had already been at a horrible position. One of the ways this supports the idea is the fact that over the past 25 years, drug trafficking was occurring daily throughout Haiti, meaning it's the main way it profits. What they try to do is to influence more societies in doing the same. One of the actions society should take in order to aid this country in rebuilding is to get rid of the drugs, since no matter how much support you give, having drug trafficking will only increase the tense situation. Additionally, the fact that Haiti was doing bad at the start was from their leaders. Their former leader, Jean-Claude-Duvalier, was a dictator who only brought order through fear and terror against other civilians. This same method was used by his father, whom was also a former leader. Due to all the negative and dangerous political structure, many of the civilians are losing hope in ever receiving a better life. The Earthquake only worsened the situation, since they had a major debt, not to mention the fact that everyone was impoverished and with no food or drink. In addition, no person was able to create a temporary government since there had been much sexual violence. The political and governmental structure is to be described as horrible, and even before earthquake, no precautions were taken in making it a safer place, in fact the total opposite, so now that the earthquake is hit, they are letting thousands of people die and starve. If it wasn't for the other countries that aided, Haiti would have no chance to survive.
