Japan

The earthquacke and tsunami in Japan were big deals but that's not the most important part, the really big deal is the nuclear reactors that are leeking out radiation in all of Japan and it is affecting the whole world. The whole world is being affected in more ways than just the radiation leek. It has stopped car production, the technology that is produced there will come to a halt, not to mention all the people that are in desperate need over in Japan.


Let's first talk about the radiation and how long that is going to keep going, how much damageJ is it going to do and how is it going to be stopped? In my opinion this one of the worst disasters we have seen in maybe the last 40 to 50 years. There us no way that they are going to be able to clean up the huge mess that this has caused. This land that this radiationspilled on to is never going to be useable again. Were talking maybe thousands of miles. This is not even talking about the people that has affected, infected, and killed. Many people gave been killed by the tsunami already, in the thousands, and many have had to leave their homes in order to not be affected and that's not even talking about the people that have already been infected with the radiation. And that's only been in the couple of months that the radiation has been leeking. I mean we already have some of the radiation here in Utah as seen in a recent survey. Plus they say that this could and probably will go on for another 9 months to a year. So the effects we could start seeing could be huge.

Furthermore we have to talk about the car industry and how it is affected. Virtually every country in the world buys cars from Japan and Hapan is a huge maker of cars. They make Dome, Honda, Isuzu, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Mitsuoka, Nissan, Subaru and Toyota. This means that nit only. is the world in huge need of cars from Japan but Japan's economy also depends selling and distributing those cars. There are several issues that have come up with this. Not only did the car companies sustain damage from the earthquackes, tsunami, and the radiation, but they get all of there power and energy from those exact nulear power plants that are in a meltdown. And not only that but the places where the car companies get the parts to make the cars are facing the same problem. This coupled with the fact that this whole fiasco could go on for another year if not linger is crippling to the car industry. There is also a shortage in some of the popular paint colors that are now unavailable because the factories making them in Japan have had to close down because of the radiation.

Now we need to talk about the things that people are doing to help the people in Japan. There are tons if things that people could and are doing. For instance there is an album on ITunes that is for the people of Japan and they are donating the money that is gained from the album and given to the people if Japan. It is only given to the people that are in need that were either affected by the earthquake it tsunami or are being directly effected by the radiation. Although in my personal opinion it is bit as big as an effort as it could be. Many things could be done like they were in Haiti. But it seems that because Japan isn't a third world country that people think that they don't have donate money or help out but by donating directly then we can be a part of helping those people out directly.

In conclusion it is a horrible situation Japan. There are tons of problems from the radiation leek to the car industry and there is almost nothing we can do about it. It just goes to shoe you how much we are at the mercy of mother nature and our own destructive power.
