Case Study Puerto Rico

The future of Puerto Rico should consider the problem the country face ouch as: economy, education and general situation. The P.R economy is in on a rear colapse because a bad mangiement. In terms of education the country is not focusing correctly. Citizens are abandon PR, health problems are out of controls and society is falling with drugs, police situation among others. We need a leader who can help and control the puertorrican problems.

In 2015, my parents decided to jump the puddle and move to Florida. At that point, I clearly understood that Puerto Rico’s decay is because of the relationship with the United States, which has been a common topic among Puerto Ricans for years. The colonial relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico definitely has an impact on the crisis of the island, for which a change in the status of Puerto Rico to statehood can benefit the recovery of the economic crisis and the natural disasters. A song called “Verde Luz”, describes perfectly my feelings towards my island, as it says, “Green light of mount and sea, virgin island of the coral, if I stay away from your exquisite beaches, if I move away from your silent palms, I want to return, want to return”. I might not be able to fix the economic crisis of Puerto Rico, but what can I do and what can everyone else do to help the island and its people live and receive education in a satisfactory place? It is sad to hear my grandfather say that he feels like when he was growing up back in the 1940’s, and my cousin say that there has been no power in their house for almost four

If there was one place in the world I could visit, it would be PuertoRico. Puerto Rico is a very beautiful place. It may seem like an unusual place since most people wanna visit Florida, Hawaii, or any beach. But here is why I want to visit Puerto Rico.

The United State wanted to keep Puerto Rico under its control by manipulating it people, by

1a. Demands on men and women differs in her description of Puerto Rico because men are expected to get jobs while the women did a lot of house work. For example her father was a carpenter and her mother stayed home, cooked, cleaned, and watched the children. Attitudes in the United States are different because women and men are equal to do the same jobs.

Hurricane Maria is now known as the most disaster inflicting natural event on record to ever hit Dominica this cause serious damage to the Puerto Rican towns, cities, and their economy. Many American citizens have been asking “how can I help” and many people in our area have been volunteering to collect items for victims of the storm and some have even gone to the island to help firsthand.

There has been a question that has been asked by hundreds of people. Should America have a 51st state, if yes what should the 51st state be? This logical question makes it clear that there should be a vote on whether Washington D.C. and/or Puerto Rico should become a state or not.

South Florida is particularly vulnerable to the effects of major hurricanes. The sub-tropical weather places the region directly in the historical path of seasonal storms. The area has faced repeated battering by major storms over the decades (Blake, Landsea, Gibney, & I.M. Systems Group, August 2011). Furthermore, the geographic location and the constraints of being located on a peninsula create unique and difficult challenges for the population during these events. The millions of people that live from Okeechobee Lake to Key West are vulnerable to the destruction capable by a major hurricane. Emergency responders must be prepared to deal with these issues when planning and responding to large scale events.

The people from Puerto Rico were dealing with a very difficult time finding what they need. Besides communication, they loss power, water, and gas supplies were hard to get. While we have everything we need, the United States citizens of Puerto Rico do not.

All of Puerto Rico's northern and eastern coast is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. It stretches for more than 30 million square miles and tends to be the saltiest ocean on Earth. Like the Caribbean Sea, the waters of the North Atlantic surrounding Puerto Rico tend to be warm year-round due to equatorial water flows and the Gulf Stream that forms north of the island. Cities in Puerto Rico's northern coastline include the island's capital, San Juan, as well as Isabella, Arecibo and

Natural disasters cause a lot of damage to the economies in Latin America when they happen. The damage can last for months, years or even decades. Natural disasters are hard for everyone, but it is even harder for Latin American countries to recover

As mentioned earlier Chile had money set aside to deal with disasters, this was a part of Chile’s culture of preparedness. Chile had dealt with earthquakes before the 2010 one and had a non-corrupt government who fostered this culture of preparedness both within their government and among the Chilean people through making sure all buildings were up to code, educating people on what to do in case of an earthquake, and having funding for disaster relief efforts available. This preparation paid off for Chile when they experienced far less death than typically expected for a earthquake the size of their 2010 quake. Haiti and Nepal were both quite the opposite, with literally zero culture of preparedness being fostered by their respective governments. The governments in both nations were quite corrupt, doing little to make sure building codes were enforced and people educated on earthquakes.

That is a big problem and interesting problem. Here in Colorado, back in 2008, we had a big immigration from pine tree beetles moving from Canada. This beetle immigration resulted in the loss of many pine trees in the states. Many land owners were concern that it was affecting the wildlife and the some species were disappearing. These issues happened naturally and not anthropogenic.

So how do Floridians cope with these disasters? Right now the Red Cross offers a variety of services during an emergency. The Red Cross offers "mass care", which is the most well known disaster relief activity employed which includes providing shelter for those seeking refuge from a hurricane as well offering food and clothing. They also provide "emergency assistance." This assistance is geared toward

I always considered myself to be special and lucky in many aspects. Coming from a relatively small island, Puerto Rico, I had been born in a regular house with a family living in the upper lower poverty society. Living in the Puerto Rico for most of my life, where I study until finishing high school. Then move to New York, where I start college in the fall of 2013 at York College. Determine to pursuit a career in the medical field, I majored in Biology. It has been years of hardworking, sacrifices, challenges and absorption of interesting knowledge. Biology major requires a lot of science class, where I have the opportunity to learn from some of the greatest and smartest minds in the world at York
