Natural Disaster Reflection

After looking at CJ Harts slide I learned lots more about the 2010 Haiti earthquake. He talked about the infrastructure issues it caused and how it destroyed homes and businesses obviously taking down their economy. I then looked at Quinn's slide about the 2011 tsunami and earthquake in Japan. She talked about the great amounts of lives that were lost and the almost endless amount of money that was poured into the cleanup and re-build of the infrastructure. This tsunami destroyed many parts of Japan and took many lives with it, the economy suffered greatly due to the devastation of this disaster.

Haiti Earthquake Economic Effects

The Haiti 2010 earthquake was one of the worlds worst natural disasters. It ruined business, homes, and lives. People did not know it was coming it wasn't long until they were hit. People and the economy suffered so greatly from this disaster. The way it destroyed the economy particularly in Haiti was because the post-disaster fix was so expensive and it stalled the economy in the Haiti for a while because so many businesses were hurt. The clean up, just to give you an idea how big it was, is still going on today and it happened 6 years ago. Haiti will never be the same after this. Businesses were completely ruined and that is how this disaster effected not only the economy of Haiti but also the people and businesses inside it.

Mini Research #1

International television is huge. People from all over the world can watch and it is amazing because it is a living, breathing example of international business. Channels from Bravo, to Telemundo, the golf channel, syfy, and many more are broadcasted all over the world. The shows within these channels are viewed from all over. Not only is this really cool, but it is great for business because they can make more money from the rest of the globe. Shows that are broadcasted all over the globe are shows such as, Family Guy, golf, The Middle, The Simpsons, The news, and even Sesame Street. These shows are so much more watched than you would think, I mean there are kids in China watching this. These shows will never be forgotten for the global legacy they leave all over the world because of international business.

I personally think this is very interesting. I would love to it in on a meeting of the heads of the television channels and here what they have to say. It in the end all comes down to money and what is best for business, is best for business. It would be dumb to not make a global market out of the television business, because you can make more money. Overall I fin it really cool to know people in China are watching the exact same things we are. This is international business at its best.
