Japanese Earthquake

The disaster in Japan caused by the earthquake and the tsunami is horrific.  Thousands of people are dead and thousands more are presumed to be dead. The earthquake completely destroyed entire villages and towns and destroyed cities. Millions of people are fleeing to camps to get some aid. Millions of people are without power.  A real big problem is the nuclear powerplants, because they are afraid of a meltdown.

The overall destruction caused by the 8.9 measured earthquake has caused $100 billion worth of damage to the nation of Japan. I feel terrible about what has happened to that poor country. But Japan will recover over time because they are well prepared for something like this.  Japan has the third largest economy in the world. My prays go out to the victims and the people of Japan and I hope I can donate some money to help the relief effort and those who have been affected by this terrible event.

Books vs e-Books blog post

I enjoy reading books sometimes when there is not much to do or if it is a book I am really interested in.  I have never used e-books before but I know some people that have used e-books before and they said they really like it but would prefer either regular books or e-books.  I believe that e-books could potentially be the thing of the future but for now the paper book is still king of the literature and reading world.

Cyber bullying blog post

Cyber bullying is an evergrowing problem in today's society especially among children and young adults.  Cyber bullying is like any other kind of bullying except it uses the internet to bully instead of physically or face to face bullying.  I think cyber bullying is very bad and can cause grief and pain towards those who have experienced cyber bullying and those who are directly affected by cyber bullying.  I think that in order to stop cyber bullying and help those who are being bullyied, people must make sre they watch what they say online, make sure to let a parent or a guardian know if someone is bullying you, and last, just be an overall good person.
