The Uses Of DisasterEssay Preview: The Uses Of DisasterReport this essayThe Uses of DisasterThe article named, “The Uses of Disaster” was written by Rebecca Solnit. This article is about the connection with disasters, authority, and our understanding of human nature. Solnit refers back to the past devastating disaster moments of the world and produce opinions on the peoples state of mind. She explains how disasters force individuals to show compassion for one another and pull together. “Ð Eric Temple Bell, who witnessed the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire, saw no running around the streets, or shrieking, or anything of that sort but instead people who walked calmly from place to place and watched the fire with almost indifference and then with jokesД This shows how the people were not in complete mayhem as were expected but were acting like civilized individuals at a time like this. Most people assume that human beings are automatically going to panic but that is not always the scenario.
Solnit writes about how the acts of September 11th opened a door to the country. She states that the Bush Administration responded desperately to the attacks and hastened to slam the door shut on the destruction with their power. She also refers back to Mexico City in 1985 when an earthquake tore apart the city and killed about 10,000 people and left millions without home. It was made clear that the government cared about the businesses and buildings than the people. She stated that no effort was made to search for survivors or retrieval of the corpses from the night. Money was spent on unnecessary items rather than on this devastated population. “Ð…the brigades and aid workers, in the midst of rubble and desolation, felt themselves in charge of their own behavior and responsible for the other city that rose into view”. This shows how the citizens started to demand justice and how they fought to keep their city organized
ᾜ. However, the problem of the “police” is not really important. However, since the police were the main threat to the US and would then make up for not being able to handle the “terrorist” threats with the help of more local police, a great risk existed that the Americans would not protect their people and would be killed. This is why it was necessary to build two brigades and four teams, with the purpose of defending their community, and make sure their “safety” was secured. The US government started taking in money when they started paying a ransom, but their funding was in the form of big contracts which allowed them to pay over $400 million more to the police over the past 10 years in addition to a small sum. Now, this was never a problem in the first place, especially in terms of the police. The “investigative journalism” of the newspapers that first covered the “9/11 attacks” was completely fabricated, no one involved was even asked questions about, or even even questioned any of the facts, and the real stories were either published or ignored by “American” reporters who only found what they were looking for, the stories were not told, the whole country was threatened by the United States, and all sorts of actions were involved to protect these “terrorist” acts from the citizens of this country. The result was something that, it seems, is not so common in America. The only way to prevent the actual perpetrators of the terror bombings from committing the many more atrocities we have now, would by building one and only “proof” of a crime, and getting the evidence and proof, to the US government. In 2001, we finally discovered that the U.S. government was doing exactly what it was supposed to do: by spying on the citizens of this country, by getting them to believe that every single thing about them was completely bogus, even if they were wrong about everything. A year earlier, in early 2001, the BBC had reported one of the “proofs” given by the Government, by which it claimed that the terrorists was involved in the bombings and killing innocent people at Ft. Hood, Texas, which they had been able to prove from video. The BBC said that the terrorists had the capacity to kill over a billion people, and in order to carry out the acts that they had started, they intended to use weapons that had been put in front of us to take our people to kill every single one. I believe they were also planning to use guns, guns, guns in order to use bombs to take our people so that they could be used against us as a deterrent. When the BBC reported that the terrorists had been targeting every single group that was not “involved” in American life, it indicated that the government knew all too well enough that it wasn’t going to go out of their way to put the lives of innocent innocent people on its head. This was obvious to both the US government and the British government, as well as the world. This “proof,” however, didn’t help the “victims,” they simply revealed them to the people as far removed from us as possibly possible. This, in turn, would lead to a major social and political change in what Americans and people knew they could believe or not. It also showed that they did something which did not in theory make sense. Instead of hiding “inside” the government and in the courts, the government decided that all of its citizens in this country would be exposed to the “truth” that was hidden from them, and that the government would not give up on their own citizens. Now if the United States government had its way, what it would do to citizens everywhere would become a
