Role Of Empathy In Hurricanes

the hurricane and to the lack of transportation. Healthcare system is an institution that delivers health care to the populations in need of medical care. The healthcare’s personnel are well trained and have dedicated their lives in providing health care to everyone who enter the institution. They are engaged to provide care to each person regardless of their disease, age, sex, social class or the stage of their illness, even if they are constrained by the careful use of the resources available. But sometimes, in extreme emergencies (wars, earthquakes, hurricanes, floods) where there are not enough medications, medical supplies or even limited resources for evacuation, some patients have to die, while others will get the care they need to live. That’s exactly what happened in 2005, at New Orleans’ Memorial Hospital after the passage of Hurricane Katrina. “After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Doctors made ad hoc decisions about which group of patients to evacuate from hospitals when floodwaters rose, the power failed and the heat climbed” (Fink, 1). The next lines will focus on some bioethical principles implicated, the advantages and disadvantages of using a utilitarian theory, the most moral theory, and whether the clinicians profiled achieved an ethical outcome in the case of Memorial Hospital.

So why are people like this? The world may never know but it can be assessed that maybe people just don’t want to have the responsibility of someone’s life on their hands. Like why would you? If you attempt to save them and fail then you are forever haunted by the memory of the look in that persons eyes when the light leaves them. If you succeed you are hailed as a hero and the crushing amount of attention that the media places on your head will crush you and eventually lead to your untimely demise at the hands of suicide or your loved ones finding you hanging from your second story banister, so either way it ends

While walking down a city street, alarming cries for help ring out through the air, and it is observed that an individual that appears to be living well has a helpless, poor victim held down, relentlessly beating them to the ground and taking what little they have left for their own advantage and benefit. What would be the right thing to do; run away or try to help, either by stepping in or calling the proper authorities? The morally ethical thing to do would be to help and do what has to be done to stand up for what is right. This same general scenario is happening not too far from this country, where organ brokers are victimizing innocent and poverty-stricken mothers and fathers trying to find a way to provide and get

Who pays for all these damages? People who live in hurricane prone areas obviously have insurance to fall back on when these disasters strike. It turns out that insurance companies also have insurance for instances like this. When insurance companies get stuck paying out large sums of money to a lot of people, they occasionally need a little help and

I would be sitting face to face with an inmate, a criminal, a person who was broken, lost, confused, but quickly I learned that I would just be sitting face to face with a person. I learned very quickly that these people were not just inmates or criminals, they are fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, friends and family, they are real people just like me. They have hopes and dreams. They have little children at home. They have struggles and addictions. They have favorite foods. They have hobbies and talents. They have wants and needs. They have made mistakes. They have done stupid stuff. But so have I. They are hurting and broken. One thing that flabbergasted me the most was they want help. They want someone to step in and show them how to be a father or mother. They would love to not have those desires to steal or get high on meth or cocaine. They would love to not be in gangs anymore and have to worry about someone coming and killing their children. Instead, they sit there, sometimes months or years at a time without getting the help that they need. They are told they deserve this. Most of the time, they are not given a voice or

their lives, and in many cases the lives of their families who depend on them to survive are shattered.

During major disasters like Katrina or Sandy, more claims adjusters are needed, opening plenty of job opportunities for licensed individuals. As long as you have insurance adjuster license, you will have work.

Katrina is probably going through a pathology from Erikson’s 8 stages of man, "basic trust vs. Mistrust". This stage happens from birth to one and a half years old. During this stage the virtue of drive and hope or the pathology of withdrawal is developed. Considering that the first two years of Katrina’s life was spent in three different foster care situations, it is very probable that she did not develop basic trust from her primary caregiver. As a result, Katrina developed the pathology of withdrawal. This pathology is can be proven by her fear of different activities and people she does not know.

Hurricanes are one of nature’s most natural occurrences and intense phenomenal storms. Yet, as phenomenal as they are, they are still one of the deadliest and disastrous natural occurrences that continue to plague costal residents with fears of their homes being destroyed, their towns wiped out, and loved ones either disappearing or dying.

I woke up early morning and turned on the TV. I could not see anything

In today’s world, there has been one disaster or another, and hurricanes are one of those disasters that always happens. But, for one reason or another we are never prepared or understand the danger of any type of hurricane over a category one. Most of us have been through many hurricanes, like this learner who has lived in Miami, Fla. for over 30 years, and experienced her last hurricane which was Hurricane Andrew. Warnings are always given, first responders are trained to all ways be on alert, and FEMA is supposed to be ready to jump in once the storm has done its damage. But we can never be prepared, because hurricanes are unpredictable, and can become deadly for citizens and create millions of dollars in damages. Within this post we will discuss Hurricane Katrina, preparedness and Emergency management before and after the disaster.

I remembered that developing intimacy in every relationship is an important part. I began my conversation with simple small talk; asking the new stranger about a common generalized topic similar to the current weather conditions or where the individual was born is an easy conversation starter. Previous to this discussion, I assumed that meeting a new person based on the described terms would be awkward for me or the other person. During my three minute conversation, I started conversation with the weather conditions that could potentially be caused by the upcoming storm Irma. I assumed no matter the other person’s response this would lead to open communication about experiences or lack of experience dealing with a hurricane. As the conversation

Social Justice is defined as “the equal distribution of opportunities, rights, and responsibility despite differences in physical traits and/or beliefs and behavior. It is an international and multifaceted issue that fights for better treatment and equality of people.” (“Pachamama Alliance,” 2017). According to this definition, my understanding of social justice is that it is a way to advocate for other individuals in order to assist their needs in society. For example, I would want to advocate for Hispanic mothers and children who have been through abuse. My empathy towards this group started because of my personal history with an abusive father who suffered from alcoholism. “Empathy involves thinking about a person and the challenges he or she is facing and coming to understand what it is like for that person to have that experience.” (Cameron & Keenan, 2013, p. 72).
