Persuasive Essay On Louisiana

670 Words3 Pages

Can you believe it? We’re abandoning Louisiana; but should we? Recently, the state of Louisiana has endured negligence from the United States and its people. Personally, it is sad to see that one of our conjoined states is being neglected. This is all because of the natural disasters that have been targeting the poor state. Because of all of the destruction and devastation that has taken place, most people feel it’s best to give up on our beloved state. We shouldn’t abandon Louisiana because United States’ citizens should learn to care for their entire nation; citizens should learn how to take cover and protection when these horrendous events take place, and Louisiana needs schools, workplaces, and homes for their community so they can flourish once again along with the rest of the country.

In previous years, the United States was a strong and united country. It is saddening that that is not the case now. Louisiana has endured several natural disasters that have brought destruction to homes of people within the state, and because of that, U.S. citizens have suggested that we just simply give up on the state. This has allowed the residents of Louisiana …show more content…

Because of that, U.S. citizens need to be prepared for these horrific events, especially Louisiana most recently.

Cities within several states experience destruction and devastation, and most do not know how to cope with all the loss that results after it. Knowing that, it would make sense that people would feel a little bit of relief knowing that at least there is a plan when these occurrences happen. Shock and surprise is not fun for anyone in any situation, but preparation helps anyone and everyone feel a little better about the cause and effects of every situation; good or

    Dear. Editor I think that the United States, Thomas Jefferson and congress should buy the Louisiana territory because it would double the u.s in size and give us more opportunities like getting goods shipped to us from different countries. I have a few reasons why this would be a good idea one is that if they buy it, it will give us the whole territory, the New Orleans port and the Mississippi River and that is good because we will be able to get many different goods sent to us and that can help us a lot. It is a good idea because the land only coast 4 cents per Acre and it only coast $15 million for all of it and it comes with the Mississippi river and we .

    However there was additional devastation and neglect to be found in the rescue of the citizens of New Orleans. The Un Human Rights Committee issued a report in 2006 that showed how our Government failed to make sure plans were in place to ensure that the black citizens of New Orleans were included in a plan to make sure they had adequate housing and healthcare available after the disaster. Not only were blacks affected, but people in the handicap group were also. New Orleans and the surrounding areas in the gulf coast region had plenty of warning, but yet there were numerous lives lost and more devastation with the people themselves than the property that could not have been saved. This toll does not include the losses suffered by those who are handicapped and depend on aids, such as service dogs, wheelchairs and the likes they need for everyday survival.

    FEMA’s mission and priorities were changed so that, “terrorism prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery became central to the emergency management mission” (Haddow 325). As a result of the terrorist attacks on 9/11 the country’s focus shifted completely from natural disasters to an outright major assault on all things terrorism with no second glance at the potential emergency’s natural disasters presented. There might be a possibility that because of the nation’s extreme obsession with terrorists and terrorism that Hurricane Katrina was not given full priority nor given as much thought as it should have been because the whole focus of the government was on terrorism. When an agency and governmental structure, such as the defense agencies, undergoes an extreme shift within the course of a few years brought on so suddenly, there are bound to be weaknesses. Hurricane Katrina was the most challenging threat that tested the DHS as well as FEMA’s preparation and mitigation of natural disasters since the shift of focus.
