Classroom assignment, students were required to analyze an issue using ethos pathos and logos, and find an image to deeply and abstractly express that issue.
Globally each year natural disasters kill thousands of people and inflict billions of dollars in economic losses. No nation or community is immune to their damage. The World Health Organization estimates that between 1964 and 1983 natural disaster throughout the world killed nearly 2.5 million people and left an additional 750 million injured, homeless or otherwise harmed.
In recent decades, the world has faced an increasing number of natural and man-made disasters. Such disasters include tsunamis, earthquakes, the current ongoing financial crisis, terrorism, riots, and wars. These disasters generate tremendous social and economic costs, especially for the poor in low income economies.
Bangladesh is the most vulnerable to climate change, as well as one of the most disasters prone countries in the world. Bangladesh’s flat topography, law-lying and climate features, combined with its population density and socio-economic environment, make it highly susceptible to many natural hazards, including flats, drought, cyclones and earthquakes.
In Bangladesh perspective, more than 80% of the population is potentially exposed to floods, earthquakes and drought, and more than 70% to cyclones. Severe flooding occur every 4-5 years covers 60% of end mass.
During time of crisis, the media is an integral part of the disaster risk management process. UNESCO works actively to build the capacities of media during emergency and disaster situations and to lead the global debate on what their overall response should be.
Bangladesh has made significant efforts to reduce its disaster vulnerability and is today considered a global leader in costal resilience due to its significant long-term investment in protecting lives.
Presentation to National Academy of Science workshop on Public Response to Alerts and Warnings Using Social Media. I argued that the citizen science model, in which volunteers contribute to substantive scientific research, is a great model for how to involve the general public in making accurate, actionable social media posts (Twitter, Twitvid, Facebook) that first responders can use to direct their efforts in a disaster.
Rule Number One of Leadership. Leaders Don't Pass the Buck.
Great leaders accept responsibility for the current situation and focus on solutions. ~ JOSH HINDS
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Going far beyond the call of duty, doing more than others expect...this is what excellence is all about. And it comes from striving, maintaining the highest standards, looking after the smallest detail, and going the extra mile. Excellence means doing your very best. In everything. In everyway. Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it. Autograph your work with excellence. The fulfillment of your dreams lies within you and you alone. When you understand and accept this, then nothing, no one, can deny you greatness. The power to succeed or fail is yours. And no one can take that away.
