To build an environment of resilience or non-resilience is dependent on the planning, preparedness, response and recovery after the disaster occurs. Resilience can only be accomplished by the process of turning awareness of risks and hazards either natural or manmade faced by society into actions that enhance capacity to respond and recover successfully from the calamity.

Cutting Back at City Hall Summary Smithville, in their proposed budget, was focusing on reductions to maximize their budget for the essential services while cutting other costs, including the salaries of other employees. The cutback resulted from the failure to raise enough revenue in the city that could cater to all the services provided to the public. The employees who aren’t in essential services were on the receiving end; the cut was on their salaries and retrenchment. The union representing the employees had to protest and defend their people as they wanted not to be affected. The retrenchment was necessary to make the essential services survive, and therefore it was affected despite the union’s plea and suggestions of ensuring their members aren’t the sacrificial lambs.

Abortion             According to bioethics’ ‘personism’ context, a human being does not become a person from the fertilization moment. It is only at a later stage of development that the fetus qualifies to be a person (Wu and Ida, 2018). Therefore, according to this context, there are human beings who are yet to become persons. The concept of abortion relates to this explanation: the question ‘is abortion an act of killing a person or not’ arises. The explanation further influences the decision on the legalization of abortion. I do not find this distinction relevant in discussing abortion. It assumes the time factor that the fetus will eventually grow to be a person (Palazzani, 2017). There are other more relevant considerations to be made, such as access to medical services that perform the process without endangering the woman’s life.

Criminalizing it in a place, it is widely accepted could lead to more unsafe cases of abortion.   References Wu, B. and Ida, A. (2018)…
