From the stone age to the 1950’s, all over
the world we lived in fear of a neighbour or another country invading our
homes, villages, or territory. Slaughtering our friends, family, and community,
to take over and occupy our land and resources, or if they didn’t slaughter us,
they brought health epidemics which did it for them. We are also over the era
of being helpless beings in our powerful, world, out of control with the force
of nature. Of course, we do see many disasters and devastation caused by
earthquakes, tsunamis, and extreme weather conditions - being caught up in
those must be terrifying for anyone. But
over the last 100 years, we have learnt so much and we can now build houses to
withstand earthquakes and even install earthquake protection beds; google them,
they look amazing. We can now predict the weather, and send support to help
when a disaster happens, to help minimise the loss of life.
