Hurricane katrina

Topic;
I work for the New Orleans Tourist Promotion Board, a branch of the city government responsible for promoting tourism to New Orleans. In the wake of the disaster, the tourist industry has been devastated. You’ve been hired as a consultant to advise our board on how to design a plan to revive our local tourism industry. The plan should cover the next year or two but should take long-term considerations into account also.

In the end of August in 2005, Hurricane Katrina attacked the Gulf coast of Louisiana and Mississippi. The damage occured by Hurricane Katrina was tremendously huge. People, especially in New Orleans have been struggling against difficulty and poverty. It became obvious difference between rich and poverty groups, and Bush administartion is under heavy pressure whether they can secure poverty group suffred from Hurricane.

Soon after the desaster, many travelors have canceled their trips to New Orleans. Since the city government in New Orleans obtains much budget revenue through tourism, it has been suffered big damage from the Hurricane Katrina. In my opinion, New Orleans Tourist Promotion Board, a branch of the city government, needs to do a couple things to revive their tourism industry.

First of all, the borad should make sure safety for quality of water and air. Some people worry about bacteria and virus which come from industrial water or household effluent. These two are basic nessessity for human beings to live. The board needs to prove here is unharmful place to visit for travelors.

Second, people do not want to go to unsecured and unstable area. People in the world watched on TV that people sufferd from Hurricane broke windows and stolen foods, water, and nessasity from supermarkets. The city needs to obtain security as soon as possible, and then the board should to explain and advertise how secure here is now.

Moreover, the board should predict such a horrible wethear. We cannot avoid that Hurricane reach to our city because it is a natural phenomena. However, we can predict when they come and how big they are. If we know the scale of the Hurrican and time to reach, we probably could minimize the suffering from the Hurricane, not like this time. Travelors can only visit the time when they obtain their secure.

Now, citizens suffered from Hurrican Katrina have been trying to restore their life. Restration of New Orleans is carefully watched around the world. It is very important for New Orleans that people from outside come and spend money. I suggest that the board build the memorial museum to keep reminding people of the total desaster.

Smart animal(Edit)

One of the surprising animal behavior is construction skills that some animal build houses or nests by themselves. Not only do human beings build their houses but also some animals do so. For instance, birds nest on a tree or branch. Also, rabitts, snakes, and ants dig holes to live under the ground.

A smart animal I would like to discuss is a sea otter. They prefer cold place to live, like Alaska, Canada, and Beiring strait. They live in the sea where water temprature degree is from 2 to 12 celcius. Moreover, Sea otters build their nests built by peaces of trees or branchs on the water by themselves. It is incredibly great construction even for people's standard. Although human being use tracks or cars when they bring blocks and cements, they gather pieces of trees or branches without any vehicles and tools. They are professional architect on the water.

FInal Writing Assignment ; Anger

According to reading “THE ANGER FACTOR”, Author mentioned in the first paragraph that venting may up the heart-attack risk. I partially agree with that idea. The reason why it causes heart attack risk is that anger makes blood pressure get higher. As Dr. Murray Mittleman at Harvard said, anger cause heart attack twice as people who do not get angry easily. From my experience, people would have stress when they get angry to someone. Many diseases come from stress and it makes our body have bad symptom. In addition, violence make blood pressure move up from 2 to 6 millimeters.

In second reading “THE GREAT CATHARSIS DEBATE”, author talked about catharsis hypothesis. The hypothesis said that people keep being less angry and aggressive. As Thomas Scheff suggested that people can avoid keep having anger by laughing and crying and then feeling would be improved and become more comfortable. In my case, I do not get anger often. In other words, I am trying to avoid getting angry to someone. It is meaningless to have anger to someone and sometimes hit somebody. In particular, I agree that the situation may become worse than it was before when people express anger. Iraq war is exactly good example. It has started by anger which caused in September 11th. In progress of democratization, it has kept deteriorating security in Iraq. Thus, I do not agree Jack Hokanson and his Florida State Univerity colleague’s study that retaliation produces some catharsis.

I suggest that not only too much anger is not good for yourself but also dealing with your anger by your self is bad. I do not suggest to violent and retaliate by means of getting rid of your anger.

Graphs for whales

These four graphs indicate how many whales were killed from 1950 to 1985. First graph is showing about number of the biggest whales killed which are Blue whales. According to first graph, the number of Blue whales killed at the peak of 1951, and had sharply decreased until they were extinct in 1969. The second largest whales, Fin Whales, were killed the most from 1954 to 1961. During the period, Number of the whales killed was flattening and abruptly fell down at the point of 1961. As far as I can see, the number of Sperm whales killed relatively fluctuated evenly from 1950 to 1975. In forth graph, I can see sharp equally line of mountain which is the peak in 1967. Thirty thousands of Sei whales which are the smallest whales were killed to the maximum in 1967. In my analysis, the smaller whales are, the later they were killed. As we know from four graphs, the biggest whales are extinct. Moreover, the other three whales are almost extinct in 1985. We did not have good enough tool to find and catch whales. It was relatively easy to find large whales at that time. However, the more progress technology for fishing, the easier to catch even small whales.

Have you ever eaten Japanese food? Of course, I guess most of the people had Japanese foods in their life. Now, we can eat any kind of foods wherever we are. For instance, we can find Italian, French, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese restaurants and so on even though we are in the U.S and even in African. Nowadays, one of the international famous foods, Japanese food, has been popular in the world, especially in the U.S. I have had the most famous Japanese foods such as Sushi, Tempura, and Teriyaki at Japanese restaurants in the U.S. People might be misunderstanding about Japanese foods. I would like to tell you what Japanese usually eat in Japan and give hidden information about Japanese foods, and I hope it would help when you visit Japan or go to Japanese restaurants.

At first, I’d like to tell how often people eat Sushi, Tempura, and Teriyaki. In my case, I eat Sushi once a month, tempura a few times a year and Teriyaki almost never. Actually, Japanese people rarely eat Teriyaki. I was very surprised the fact Teriyaki is popular as typical Japanese food when I came to the U.S. Instead of that, we eat Ramen which is a Japanese noodle. Some people eat Ramen once a day. There are thousands of ramen restaurants in Tokyo. It is very difficult to make soup stock based on chicken, pork, and many kinds of vegetables. It also takes more than one day to make the soup. Moreover, nobody can recognize the tiny difference of soup taste. That is one reason we cannot see many ramen restaurants in the U.S. I recommend you to have Japanese ramen if you have time to go to Japan.

In another point, we can find cheap foods in Japan. They are always expensive when I go to Japanese restaurants in the U.S. Japanese foods are not always expensive, especially in Japan. Ramen costs around five dollars to nine dollars. In addition, Japanese prefer healthy foods in order to consider well-balanced meal. One of well-balanced meals is Tofu. A block of Tofu costs only one dollar. Tofu has a lot of proteins and vitamins. Tofu prevents people from obesity. In Japan, you can easily find Tofu pub on the streets.

Of course, Sushi, Tempura, and Teriyaki are representatives of Japanese foods. You might be surprised the taste when you eat sushi at fish market in Japan. However, I want you to explore the other great Japanese foods in Japan. There are many tasty and cheaper foods. You can find the other aspects of Japanese people or culture through Japanese foods. I hope it would help you when you eat Japanese food next or travel to Japan.
