COMPARISON!

Both the disasters were , well ... disastrous . Each effected their own countries in some of the worst ways possible . But what really happened? What is that one thing , that could have made it so much more better , that could have made the crisis so much more easier to handle ? 

The earthquake in Haiti was not as disastrous as the tsunami and earthquake in Japan . 

However , Japan is more economically developed than Haiti . Haiti wasn't prepared for such a disaster , and it completely destroyed the country . Japan had infrastructures , the money and the brains to recover . 

Japan's recovery was easier done than the recovery in Haiti . 

Japan's earthquake and tsunami , seen on a scale , was much more disastrous than the quake in Haiti . The simple matter of money , made all the difference . 

But what about its effect on the world?  

The quake in Haiti may have destroyed the country in itself , but it didn't effect the economy of the world. Foreign aid acted out mostly because of empathy , not actual need for the nation to get back on its feet . 

The earthquake and tsunami in Japan , however , did have its effect . The nuclear power plant leaked into the ocean because of the tsunami , and a part of the world depends on japan for their economy . 

So I would say , the bigger MEDC it is , the more trouble it may provide . 

So lets end this segment with : 

"With great power , comes great responsibility"
