Sustainable Development

In my opinion, the one when we were living in this world, then the consumption and reproduction is impossible without it. Because if we only consumed alone without recreating the generation of our children will not be able to continue living anymore. We shall have all of what we did. So before we were going to do something, we must think about its consequences, whether it affects the environment or not. Most of us are aware of what happening today and are trying the best to come out with solutions that make the world a better place to live in.
An example of sustainable development would be driving a car which would not destroy the environment and will only cause a very small amount of pollution which plants still can handle. People will get more money if they do not need to think about the environment.

Reflection on Video: 2004 Tsunami The Aftermath


Tsunami the Aftermath is the hearth breaking story of those who survived December 26, 2004. The Tsunami thrashed the coast of Thailand (Phuket and Khao Lak in Thailand)and 12 other countries. It is estimated that over 227,000 people died and when the movie came out, 50,000 bodies were still unaccounted for. In 2006, the Tsunami was considered one of history's most cataclysmic disasters.. This film was directed by Bharat Nalluri, has shown me a natural landscape is wonderful, so majestic, so immense, and it also showed me the happiness, fun, relaxed that nature has given to human. And it took me to see the devastation, destruction damage, death ... as well

The movie focuses on a fictional group of characters who've lost loved ones and those who are still looking for closure (Ian Carter and his wife). A meteorologist had reported earlier on the great inevitability of a tsunami hitting that area and his findings went unnoticed. Lose of life could have been avoided with just a 30 minute warning siren. Today, Tsunami warning devices are currently being installed.

Ian Carter (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and his wife Susie (Sophie Okonedo) lost their child that faithful day and can not move on in their lives without finding closure of their daughters body. Than (Samrit Machielsen), has lost his entire family and is trying to keep developers from seizing the land. A British woman on vacation in Thailand has lost her husband and almost one of her two sons. People from different cultures and social backgrounds come together in a time of need. They are really selfish when just thinking about their family (their wife, husband and their children). While there are a lot people who need their help. They really cannot think of anything other than their wife,husband and his children. I've been thinking a lot when looking at his behavior. If at that time, he rescued the victims who need his help and others also rescued the other victims, the numbers of deaths or injuries have been declined. Why they don't take the blessing from God (their life after Tsunami) to help people?...

Why study geography is important ?

While many of us labored to learn geography in school, we always wondered why it mattered. Here are some reasons why a sound understanding of geography is more important today than ever before.

The study of geography gives us an opportunity to observe and analyze the close association between the natural environment and human life. It consists the study of our planet, its climatic conditions, the various landforms on the planet and the different natural occurrences. We can understand how influence of nature affects cultural diversity, environment, society and globalization. But the children of modern times do not find it important to study geography. They did not study geography at all, for example: "almost students and pupils do not know how to read or analyze the map in 2006 at U.S. They could not find Afganistan, Australia, Laos,.... "

Do not you think it is important to know all about this in depth? Don’t you feel the need to have knowledge of our Earth? If you feel the need to, you have a reason to say that geography is important.
Each of us lives in a unique place and in constant interaction with our surroundings. Geographic knowledge and skills are essential for us to understand the activities and patterns of our lives and the lives of others. Geographic knowledge and understand is fundamental to reaching our goals.
