Earthquake:
Japan's Devastation
Recently a massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit northeast Japan, causing dozens of deaths, more than 80 fires, and a 10-meter (33-ft) tsunami along parts of the country's coastline. Homes were swept away & damage is extensive. The Japanese government has estimated the direct damage at as much as $310 billion, making it the world's costliest-ever natural disaster. More than 10,000 deaths have been confirmed, and another 17,000 people remain missing. Who knows how long it will take for the Japanese to recover, keep them in your prays & try to donate as much as you can.
Connection: In class we discuss foreign affairs & foreign relations. The U.S. provides their support of finances for the most part to help provide for Japan. This could be considered foreign relationships and affairs.
