I found this news from CNN.
A very powerful typhoon Hayan attacked the Philippines and about 10,000 people were killed. The scale of damage is hopelessly big, and damaged areas have serious problems which are related to food, shelter, medical assistance etc. So many organizations are trying to help victims from the various directions. I felt this news is very sad. However, we can not blame anyone for this damage, because this is not a murder case, but a natural disaster. So, the only way to make the situation better is that overseas countries support them as much as they can. We, Japanese know how horrible a natural disaster is, because we experienced the terrible earthquake before. That is why we have to help and support them even thought our supports are very small. Also, I found that this article has the address or organization that we contact if we are looking for someone or know about someone there. Media can not only tell the horrible news to the world but also give us the clues that people from overseas support them. This is Media's one of the big advantages. So I realize Media has a great power to influence people all over the world.
I'd like to ask you following questions.
1, If you were attacked by terrible typhoon, what kind of help would you need?
2,Do you think Media has a big power ? If you answer YES, please tell me the reason and your experience.
