Everyday the World is Changing

This is a picture of Hurricane Katrina aftermath. This photograph captures the shock value that the entire United States felt when they saw what happened, and when the help we were trying to give seemed to be so useless. The outer areas of the city were destroyed on that August day in 2005, as the rest of the States watched in shock and horror. A city below sea level was suddenly engulfed with water and slowly being swallowed by the ocean itself. This event changed the way we prepared for natural disasters and how to respond when the far corners of the country went through these disasters as well.

This picture really makes me think about what I take advantage of, my house, my neighborhood, my school, my lifestyle, everything. This is what was taken away from the people of New Orleans. All in an instant. This photograph makes me really stop and think about everything mundane and constant in my everyday surroundings. This photograph really does move me.
