Summary of Disasters Create Opportunities for Active Learning why Do They Repeat by Deniz Tarsus PDF
Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Sociology - Methodology and Methods, grade: 2, University of Leicester (Department of Sociology), course: Risk, Crisis and Disaster Management, language: English, abstract: Disasters have adversely affected humans since the dawn of their existence. If one looks at the past as a model for what may be expected in the future, it can be found that severe events, which wreaked havoc on human communities and inflicted high levels of mortality, were surprisingly frequent and widespread.
