Rebuilding The New World After A Global Catastrophe

By Anna West


There are so many threats that could completely change the Earth as people know it that it is hard to not just push them out of the mind. While it may seem like there is no way that mankind could ever possibly recover from something as devastating as a global catastrophe, there have been a number of these events in the past that shattered societies were able to return from. Rebuilding the new world after one of such disasters is difficult but possible.

Without the knowledge of the past, such as history and science, mankind would have a hard time thriving after a disaster. It is highly important that measures are taken to preserve these learnings in this situation. This information could be the key to finding a way to rebuild society in a better way.

When a major catastrophe strikes that threatens the lives of a vast number of people, one of the first things to go are the laws and governments that once kept societies stable. The loss of this stability can lead to widespread deaths and general chaos, and it is important for order to be restored as quickly as possible. It is sometimes the case that in the reforming of governments, more just laws can be established.

There are many people who might try to survive on their own in the face of these disasters. Most of the time, however, it is better to find a group to join so that there can be power in numbers. No one wants to be caught on their own if they are sick and unable to defend and provide for themselves.

When society is formed again, it is very important that it is mindful of its environmental impact. Many of the disasters that threaten mankind are due to climate change. Building a society around a harmonious balance with nature could save the world from future disasters.

When people are struggling to survive, they are most likely not thinking about making a new government, new laws, and a new way of life. At this time, people will most likely have gone into survival mode and are mostly just thinking about keeping themselves safe as well as the ones around them who they care about. It is only once surviving has become easy and natural enough that people will want to reform a society.

There are many people that die all the time from not washing their hands, and this is a very critical practice in the times directly after a disaster has hit. When resources are scarce, there probably will not be access to medicine and antibiotics to help someone get better from having harmful bacteria enter their body. The best thing to do is prevent it before it happens and simply keep the hands clean.

It is true that everyone has to go to the bathroom, and it is highly important to know where this is going so that it does not contaminate a water source. Any wells or other water sources should be taken into account. It is a good idea to put latrines at least 20 meters from these.
