Hello, I am looking for someone to write an essay on If the federal government is to bear the economic loss from major disaster, do the feds have the right to require the public to pay for significant mitigation requirements, to reduce potential economic loss. i.e., preservation of wetlands, no develop. It needs to be at least 1250 words.

According to the studies conducted by Hopkins (2001), disasters can be classified as technological disasters, natural disasters, or complex emergencies. These categories are arbitrary and they refer to a natural hazard or phenomenon that is an immediate trigger. Furthermore, a major disaster may result from earthquakes, flood, hurricanes, major fires, or tornados. For a president to declare an event a national disaster or determine warrant for federal aid, it must be more than what the local or state governments can manage alone.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) treats hazard mitigation as the measures taken to minimize recurring losses from disasters that would occur in the future. Additionally Hopkins (2001), stated that the ideological reasons for hazard mitigation are: prevention of future damage to property and deaths due to natural disasters, implementation of local or state mitigation plans, to ensure mitigation measures are taken into account during an unforeseen disaster and to fund mitigation measures which benefit areas of disaster that have been previously identified.

The relief that is required after an occurrence of the disasters depends greatly on the immediate objective of the people that are affected. According to the studies conducted by Xiao (2008), the immediate needs for these people include needs like rescue, food, clothing, and communication with their loved ones. After the passing of the direct dangers, the focus of the victims shifts to the process of rebuilding. This process is also referred to as the recovery stage where federal grants and loans can help enormously. Recovery costs incurred by the state or local governments may be beyond their capabilities to replace essential services such as repairing expensive sewage systems and water services. The government ends up spending most of its funds on such repairs instead of investing them in other sectors to boost the

Need an argumentative essay on Chinese Lion Dance. Needs to be 8 pages. Please no plagiarism.

This paper tells that as Buddhism was the predominant religion in China for a very long time, Lion Dance has come to be an integral part of Chinese culture. Some experts have explored in depth the Buddhist connection in Chinese culture and believe that this famous dance of China has its roots in India. There is also a mythical tale intertwined with Lion Dance. There was a mischievous young lion in heaven that used to go about its pranks causing enormous irritation to the inhabitants. One day matters reached a head when it tried to pull a fast one on Jade Emperor, the lord of the heaven. He got infuriated with the antics of the lion and killed it by decapitating and throwing both the head and the body down on earth to putrefy. But Kwan Yin, the Goddess of mercy, came to know of it and brought the lion back to life by tying its head and body with a red ribbon. The red ribbon is very much visible in the Lion dance costumes of today and is considered to be the lucky omen that most surely ushers in prosperity and good luck. The Goddess of mercy also decked up the lion with a mirror and a horn that were meant to drive away evil spirits. Thus it is a standard ritual among Chinese Lion Dancers to invoke the spirit of the lion in a new lion head before it is used in the dance. This is an elaborate ritual and is known as “Hoi Gong”, or the “Eye Opening/Dotting” ceremony. The ceremony consists of painting eyes on the lion head on completion of which the lion is thought of as having entered into this world. Any performance done with a lion head that has not been blessed through the Hoi Gong ritual is considered as a bad omen that most surely brings bad luck and misfortune. There is always a thread of narrative running through the performance which usually begins in a closed space signifying a cave inside which a lion is found sleeping. A rotund Buddhist monk enters the cave and has a look around before he starts setting up the temple. He opens the doors of the closed space, lights up an ornamental lantern and dust and cleans the interiors to make the place worthy of Buddha and his worshippers. The time finally comes to wake the lion which the monk does by beating a drum, a gong and a cymbal. The lion awakes and starts playing with the monk and this continues for some time.
