Globalization And Globalization

The national population is continuing to increase at a 1.17% growth rate, which appears small, but consider that most developed countries have negative population growth rates. This is caused by two main factors; continuous births in a state that cannot support them, and the deportation of Haitians from the Dominican Republic, who’s population is decreasing. More than that, Haiti still lies in ruins following the 2010 earthquake, which, as previously mentioned, leaves a large percentage of the population without shelter, food, or work. Even worse is that Haiti’s economic status is continually deteriorating, caused by the previous two factors; population growth and geographic destruction. For that matter it is not helping the global economy at all, as a developed country would. Data shows that Haiti is truly the most under-developed country in the Western Hemisphere. This is due to the fact that it “is the most densely populated country in the Western Hemisphere” (Aronson 1), the fact that it is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and has the least income per person, the fact that it does not have nearly enough food, shelter, clothing, water, or work for all of its people. With that, Haiti shows no signs of improvement in the near future, as it has nothing to build up

According to Trost, “97% of the land has been deforested” (Trost). Much of the land is not farmable, and what little is, is controlled by the elite. The common people are unable to grow their own crops successful in their unfertile soil. Additionally, over a third of the country’s water supply is contaminated. Haiti has also faced many natural catastrophes, such as hurricanes and earthuakes, that further destroyed their fertile soil and contaminated more of their water supply. These natural catastrophes have also led to disease and the destruction of buildings and homes. Haitians have struggled to rebound from these natural

The climate of Haiti is tropical. In the mountains where trade winds are cut off there is a semiarid climate. Natural disasters are large contribution to food insecurity in Haiti. Haiti has been hit with numerous earthquakes and hurricanes. These catastrophes lead to the death of crops that are already growing and prevent the growth of new crops for a period of time. Haiti is unable to sustain themselves on the food that

Haiti has a failed society partly due the ecosystem while Denmark society lives a successful and sustainably economy. In Haiti, acute poverty forces the population to rely on wood and charcoal for fuel and income, leading to ever more deforestation. Sixty-six percent of Haitians depend on agriculture and small-scale farming, but most cannot produce enough food on the eroded hillsides to even feed their families. When tropical storms regularly hit Haiti, rainfalls ravage crops, bring flooding and wash more topsoil into the sea. The 7.0 Mw earthquake in January 2010 added new dimensions of suffering and urgency. And Haiti’s government, which has been chronically weak for

Another struggle is that, this country has yet to develop educationally or scientifically to a national level. But women are not the only ones affected by this epidemic. The average working class makes close to $660 a year. Also, 78% of Haitians are poor (less than US$2 a day), and more than half (54%) live in extreme poverty (less than US$1 a day) ("Haiti Statistics - Haiti Partners."). The average family consists of (a) working parent(s) (most don’t have the luxury of both) and ranging from three to four children. An American couldn’t even afford a Mcdouble at McDonalds for one dollar, let alone feed six people for one to two meals.

Most of Haiti's problems start with the natural disasters such as the earthquakes and the hurricanes. The junior scholastic notes that the hurricane Mathews hit Haiti last October carrying winds of 145 miles per hour. This hurricane carried away almost everything in its path. It killed 1000 and left 175000 people home less, mentions the junior scholastic. Meanwhile the earthquake was no different, the junior scholastic states that the earthquake of 2010 killed 316000 and displaced 1.5 million people.The earthquake and hurricane are only some natural disasters that have hit Haiti. Haiti has faced a lot more because of its location.

Starvation is a huge issue in Haiti. One child dies every six seconds from the scarce amounts of food here. Poverty in Haiti is the leading cause of the lacking amounts of food for children here. This picture saddens me to think that there are children in other places around the world dying from something that I wouldn't even think of dying from. Food is something so plentiful in America; it's so normal to come home from school or where ever I am during the day and have food available to me. In some countries, like Haiti, they are blessed to get a small portion of food a day. Some children there don't have access to food for weeks at a time. it's really sad to know that my own country; (America) has so much food and a lot of access to it, and we don't majorly help out Haiti. We have helped them out by sending food but that doesn't solve the problem of millions of people. How did Haiti become so poor?

In the article “Sometimes, the Earth is cruel”, It’s been said that life can be cruel and sometimes you have no choice but to deal with it. The author Leonard Pitts discusses the devastating effects of the tropical storms and hurricanes also, how it affected the people that were evolved, and responses of people in Haiti. People in Haiti were devastated. The author Leonard Pitts stated in the article that those people were “weeping, and mourn,” and “memorializing the dead.” That tells us that the people in Haiti were strong and was able to move on from the tragedy.

Haiti is currently in a predicament that most country’s dream they never have to face. On January 12, 2010 disaster struck this already struggling nation.Death totals topped 200,000 and reliable industries and structures were destroyed, leaving the nation in a tough situation. Five years after the catastrophic earthquake which ravaged Haiti in 2010, killing over 200,000 people and leaving 1.5 million homeless, despite a massive international humanitarian and cooperation effort, the country remains the poorest of the Western hemisphere, and is prey to political instability.

Haiti is a country still devastated from the events of January 12, 2010. At 4:53 pm, southwest of the capital of Port-au-Prince, an earthquake measured at 7.0, struck the Haitian people and would have rippling effects in the years to come. More than 300,000 people lost their lives and about a million Haitians were affected overall. Nevertheless, Haiti has always had problems, just after gaining their freedom from France in the early 19th century they were in debt. A writer from BBC News says, “Chronic instability, dictatorships, and natural disasters in recent decades have left it as the poorest nation in the Americas.”

It’s safe to say that Haiti is poor. Especially compared to the U.S. One of the causes for Haiti being so poor just happens to be humans. They are entrenched in greed and power. The rulers there have ensured Haiti’s despair. Things like soil erosion, bad education system, illiteracy, unemployment, inadequate roads, water systems, sewerage, and medical services are also some of the causes of Haiti’s despair. The international community also has a lot to do with Haiti being so poor. But the main root of Haiti’s problems comes from their government. The rulers there have used beatings, killings, illegal arrests and detentions, forced exiles etc., all to keep

After the Haitian earthquake in January of 2012, the people of Haiti were faced with a serious challenge. Being one of the poorest countries in the world didn’t help the challenge at all. Help was still going to come anyway. Urgent supplies were sent in immediately like food, water, shelter and medicine. These first responders helped look for missing people and recovered the dead. Later, people help rebuild destroyed homes and buildings. Even after all of the natural

Poverty, corruption, and poor access to education are the most serious disadvantages that Haiti faces. Two-thirds of the country depends on agriculture, consisting of mainly small-scale subsistence farming. This sector is high vulnerable to damage from natural disasters and the country’s widespread deforestation (which have caused periodic flooding). Additionally, Haiti suffers from high inflation, lack of investment,

The sea levels in the area increased, some parts of land were sinking below the sea and the number of forests found in the country decreased. In 1923, 60% of the country was forest, now forest only covers around 2% of Haiti, as a result of the 2010
