Earthquakes occur when continental plates collide or move against each other, causing destruction of infrastructure through collapsed buildings and landslides, as well as loss of life from tsunamis generated by undersea quakes. Developing nations affected by earthquakes require outside assistance to recover from damage, which global cooperation makes possible as seen by international aid to Haiti following its 2010 earthquake.

An upcoming gala dinner and auction on November 9th will directly benefit Brookwood's GreenBrook Energy Program, which aims to make the community more sustainable.
Haiti earthquake presentation
The document summarizes an earthquake that devastated Haiti on January 15, 2012. It was a magnitude 7.0 earthquake that was centered just 13 km below the surface near Port-au-Prince. Over 222,000 people were killed and over 300,000 injured. Infrastructure and housing was heavily damaged, with nearly 100,000 houses destroyed and 188,000 damaged. The economic losses were estimated to be $7.8 billion. The earthquake caused such massive casualties and damage due to Haiti's poorly constructed housing, dense urban environment, lack of earthquake preparedness and relief efforts, and the shallow depth of the quake near the capital.

On September 11, 2001, four passenger airliners were hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists. Two planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 attacks, which led to increased national security measures and U.S. military action in Afghanistan and against al-Qaeda.

Jacobeans patrick corrected
The Jacobeans were a political and religious group in England between 1689-1760 who opposed the government and supported the return of King James II to the English throne. They took their name from King James II, who was overthrown in 1688 during the Glorious Revolution. The Jacobeans launched rebellions and uprisings in Scotland, Ireland, and England in 1689, 1715, 1722/23, and 1745 in attempts to restore the Stuart line of kings to power.
Englisch (wallstreet crash) patrick corrected
The Wall Street Crash of 1929 began with Black Thursday on October 24th, 1929 and led to a major worldwide economic depression. A bull market from the 1920s turned into a bear market as share prices collapsed over several days. On Black Thursday and the following Tuesday, some shares lost over 30% and 99% of their value respectively, causing banks to demand repayment of loans and leading to widespread business failures, unemployment, and a loss of confidence in the financial system. The global economic crisis lasted until World War 2.
Civil rights laura lee & joris corrected
The document discusses key events and figures in the American civil rights movement. It outlines issues like segregation and the Ku Klux Klan's repression of black people. It then summarizes people like Rosa Parks who sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Martin Luther King Jr. who advocated for nonviolent civil disobedience, and Malcolm X who initially took a more confrontational approach. It also mentions large protests like the March on Washington and Bloody Sunday march in Selma, as well as the Black Panther Party that formed to advocate for black empowerment.
Capitalism
This document provides a brief overview of some key events in American history and the economy from 1919 to 2008. It then discusses Ronald Reagan's career and presidency from 1937 to 1989, where he reduced taxes and deregulated industries. The document concludes by discussing job cuts and cost savings at major companies like General Electric, GM, and AT&T in response to economic downturns and mentions a secret Citigroup letter about issues facing the top 1% of investors.
Globalisation kids
This document discusses the impacts of globalization on children in developed and underdeveloped countries. It notes that kids in developed countries have access to media, modern technology, varied food options, and school education, while kids in underdeveloped countries often face child labor, malnutrition, lack of schooling, and orphanhood. While globalization provides benefits like internet access, education opportunities, and communication tools, it can also result in losses like diminished social life, child labor, exploited workers, slums, and massive poverty and famine. The document raises questions about the pros and cons of globalization for children worldwide.
Equal rights
The document discusses the effect of globalization on equal rights. It provides historical examples of the women's rights movement in Germany from 1848 to 1997. It notes that while women and men have equal rights in some democratic countries, equal rights are not universal and are still lacking in places ruled by religion or dictatorship. The document questions whether globalization has spread ideas of equal rights or prevented their enforcement, and whether it has led to more tolerance or hate between different groups.
Globalization an intro
The document discusses various aspects of globalization, including the integration of economies through international companies collaborating across borders. It provides examples of companies from different countries working together on projects, and raises questions about equality and inequality in pay and conditions for workers from different backgrounds. It also addresses topics like communication technologies, brand recognition, trade versus foreign aid, outsourcing, exploitation, economic growth, poverty, the environment, monopoly power, capitalism, culture, free trade, technology and the internet, a shrinking world, terrorism, and accountability in a globalized world. Students are then instructed to discuss one of these globalization themes in pairs and prepare a presentation.
Deforestation
There are several types and causes of deforestation including intentional clearing for agriculture like soy and palm oil plantations, unintentional clearing from activities like firewood collection, and natural clearing. Deforestation has advantages for industries and profit but disadvantages like destruction of habitats that can cause species loss and affect cultures and poorer countries. The rainforests, especially in Brazil and Indonesia, are heavily impacted by clearing for palm oil and soy resulting in large areas of forest loss each year and increased fires that endanger animals and disrupt ecosystems.
Big brands
Google and McDonald's are two examples of highly successful global brands. Google has a market value of $55-171 billion, employs over 24,000 people worldwide, and had a 2010 turnover of $29.5 billion. McDonald's began in 1940 and was transformed into a global brand in the 1960s under new ownership. Both companies have found success through their simple and easy to use products and business models, large customer bases, and ability to localize their offerings while maintaining global standardization.
Slavery in the united states tabea riedel
This document outlines the history of slavery in the United States from the Declaration of Independence to the Civil Rights movement. It discusses key events like the First Great Awakening, the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, states abolishing slavery in the late 18th century, the Civil War and the 13th and 14th Amendments abolishing and restricting slavery, and the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s-60s leading to advances under Lyndon B. Johnson and Martin Luther King Jr. The document covers the geographic spread and economic role of slavery over time from the northern to southern states.
Native americans arthur hall
The document summarizes the complex history between Native Americans and settlers in North America over several centuries in 3 paragraphs:
1) It describes early interactions between Native Americans and British/American settlers, with varying approaches to relations and land rights. Chief Seattle's words illustrate the Native American perspective on land stewardship.
2) As western expansion accelerated in the 19th century, violence increased as homesteaders and railroads encroached on Native hunting grounds, leading to prolonged wars. By 1900, Native populations had been vastly reduced and confined to reservations.
3) However, the story is complicated, with changing Native American cultures and the emergence of movements like the Ghost Dance. Ultimately, the settlers destroyed Native cultures and
Democratic and republican party bella hettich
The document summarizes the key differences between the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States.

Constitution of america seraphim tombrock
The document outlines the history and formation of the Constitution of America, from the conflict between the colonies and British Crown in the 1760s, to the emergence of the Constitution in 1787. It notes some initial rights and liberties, as well as the absence of freedoms of expression and assembly. Slavery was also legal originally. The 13th amendment prohibited slavery in 1863, and the 15th amendment guaranteed voting rights regardless of race in 1870. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a special law added to the Constitution to further prohibit discrimination.
The push westwards lisa rüger
The document discusses Manifest Destiny and America's westward expansion in the 19th century. It justified expansion on the grounds of destiny and Christianity, with the belief that America was destined to spread across the entire continent. It also supported expansion at the expense of native peoples' land and different economic ideas such as using money to create growth versus helping the poor.
Civil war chrissy rohoff
The document summarizes key aspects of the American Civil War including the South which had 11 states with over 7 million people and relied on slavery of over 4 million people for tobacco and cotton plantations. Conflict arose due to slavery and President Lincoln which led several southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America. After over four years of fighting, the Civil War ended with the defeat of the Confederacy.
Slavery philipp esche
Slavery was integral to the early U.S. economy, particularly in the Southern states where plantations relied on slave labor. The system was enabled through slave codes that defined slaves as property without rights. Abolition movements grew in the Northern states, while the Southern states formed the Confederacy to protect slavery. The Civil War from 1861-1865 was ultimately fought over this issue, culminating in the abolition of slavery nationwide.
