          In this article, Dhaka is weak at climate change because it just a few meters above sea level and is regularly hit by cyclones and floods. In my opinion it is not only case of Dhaka. South Korea also has some problem about environmental damages. Therefore we have to prepare about environment damages. There are some reasons. At first, South Korea locates in peninsula. Kakissis further states that, “Dhaka is also extremely vulnerable to climate change: It is just a few meters above sea level and is regularly hit by cyclones and floods.”(2010, para.9). According to this article people who live near the sea have to be aware of some situations. The second reason is that many people who live in Korea suffer from storms and floods every summer. There are about 30 to 40 storms per a year. They concentrate from august to september. Following to Kakissis “More intense storms and floods, salinization damage to crops caused by the encroaching sea…”(2010, para.7). There are also many people who underwent damages to crops. And the last is that there are not enough realistic alternatives. Every year many people are troubled with ERs, but compensations and aids are lacking. They have to restore their residences and work places. They need enough budget, but it is difficult to get some cost. If there is no compensation they must be difficult to recover. In conclusion we have to make some measures about environment damages.

Environmental Refugees Unable to Return Home

“Environmental Refugees Unable to Return Home” by Joanna Kakissis is a story about some people who have to move to their home because of natural calamities. In case of Bangladesh, there were storms and floors, so many people migrated to other country. They have suffered from poor. For that reason they have no choice but to work even though they can’t receive reasonable wages. Also, children have to work to help their family. Some families parted with their family members because they don’t have good economy situation. In addition, they continue worrying about other natural disasters like floods.

 Innovations for the Developing World

“Innovations for the Developing World” by Erick Shonfeld is a writing about two inventions which are helping people who are developing countries. The inventor name is Dean Kamen. Kamen wants to solve problems which are water for drinking and electricity of developing countries. Kamen experiments the machines for electricity in real situation. It is significant innovation because it can help developing countries people who don’t have productivity and leisure time. And he’s another device is water-cleaning machine. Kamen and Iqbal Quadir have joined for distributing the machines for rural villages. Their vision is to copy the decentralized economic distribution model with electricity. They believe that model will be more beneficial for developing country.

I impressed about his initiative because many people knew the developing countries problems. But they didn’t show in their action. Also, he invented some inventions then proceeded to adapt the real situation. Of course his inventions were made to consider actualities. So, it helps people who really need machines.
