This year we are studying interactions. I find the Japanese earthquake really useful for talking about interactions. The patterns of interactions have all changed in Japan because of the earthquake and tsunami. For example, all the kids in Japan would just probably have the same routine every day like getting up in the morning, having breakfast, getting ready for school then heading off. Unfortunately though those patterns now have to change and so do the interactions. Now people have to start worrying about where they are going to sleep and where are they going to get food from, instead of waking up to a cosy bed with a full pantry. Interactions have changed severely because now people can't talk on cellphones, they can't drive around in their cars any more and so many other things!
I have felt sorry for all these people but relieved that some people actually survived the earthquake. I can imagine how hard the workers are working to help these people.
Good luck Japan!
Hi Anna, I enjoyed your blog today. When there is a disaster, systems and patterns are thrown into chaos and people interact to achieve different things, like survival, instead of recreation. Love the disco balls! You will have to teach me how to be a blogger.
