UNIT 3 | Awareness of Crisis, Accidents and Natural Calamities
"Natural disasters can encourage social cohesion and better relationships. When disasters strike, humans have a tendency to get together and show their traits and put them to work. It is during these times that we may work together and realize that all people are the same and have the same basic needs. Friendships may be formed and new things may come to life. The key to reducing loss of life, personal injuries, and damage from natural disasters is widespread public awareness and education. People must be made aware of what natural hazards they are likely to face in their own communities."

It’s the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and to feel what they are feeling. It’s about being respectful and standing in solidarity with marginalized groups."

Reading Text (Excerpt)

Slowly, Zubair began to wake up. He was very, very tired. He opened his eyes
and looked around. All he could see was muddy water, but a little peaceful
now. All night, it had been gushing wildly, destroying everything that came in
its way. He was still lying on the log which he and his mother had held together
last night.
The log, to which Zubair had clung all night, was bumping against a small tract
of land now. Zubair stretched his numb limbs and waded to the tract of land.
He was exhausted. He lay down on his bare back and closed his eyes. Tears
began to fall from the sides of his eyes and started collecting in his ears. With
his eyes closed, he could clearly see the picture of his mother’s hand slipping
from his grip. He wanted to shout but he could not. It was dark and the water
was moving so fast that he could not do anything but hold the log tightly. She
was taken away by the flowing water.
