【正确答案】Donation Is Not a Good Way
to Aid the Recovery of Earthquake-hit Regions
I strongly agree that donation is a very good way, or I must say, essential, to aid the recovery of the earthquake-hit areas in short term. Nonetheless, I believe that it is not a good way to aid the recovery those regions in long term.
Right in the wake of the earthquakes, millions of people in earthquake hit regions became homeless refugees. A majority of people were struggling for survival as they suffered from starvation, thirst and physical injuries. Donations, in terms of food, water, clothing and medicine are absolutely important to the people who are in urgent need of help. Doctors, nurses and other volunteers are all crucial to aid victims in short term.
Nevertheless, long-term donation is definitely not a wise means to the earthquake-affected regions since we should aim for seeing sustainable development and recovery initiated by themselves. Endless donations would make those regions so dependent on aid that eventually the incentive and ability to rebuild their cities or homes on their own would be lost.
Successful recovery should be self-initiated. In fact, there are many ways to aid the recovery in the long run. We can bring various technology and technological knowledge to speed up the recovery. Experts can involve in the planning of recovery of those regions and educate people better on economic development in those affected areas. BY those means, long-term sustainable recovery development can be ensured in a selfmotivated way with their own effort.
