Mud has been used as a building material for thousands of years. It provides a sustainable construction option that requires minimal energy and resources. Various mud construction techniques are described, including stacked earth (COB), rammed earth, adobe, wattle and daub, formed earth, earth filled in, compressed earth blocks, extruded earth, and cut earth. Mud construction provides benefits like natural temperature regulation, low costs, and environmental friendliness compared to other materials. However, mud buildings require regular maintenance and can be susceptible to damage from water or pests.

Saho Sekiguchi

This document seeks to debunk 3 myths that block progress for the poor. The first myth discussed is that poor countries are doomed to stay poor. The document provides evidence against this myth by showing that incomes have risen significantly in many countries over the past 50 years through statistics, graphs, and before/after photos. It argues the world is no longer separated into rich and poor countries, as over half the world's population now lives in middle-income countries. While extreme poverty still exists, the percentage of very poor people has dropped by more than half since 1990, demonstrating that poor countries are not doomed to remain poor and have shown significant development and economic growth.

Haiti Swot Analysis

Carolina Lewis

Haiti has faced significant political and economic challenges throughout its history that have contributed to its current state of poverty. It gained independence from France in 1804 but was forced to pay a large independence debt that drained its economy for much of the 19th century. More recently, the 2010 earthquake killed over 300,000 people, left over 1 million homeless, and significantly damaged Haiti's infrastructure and economy. Haiti's history of colonialism, debt burden, political instability, environmental damage, and natural disasters have created obstacles that the country continues to struggle with in developing its economy and improving living conditions.
