This source came from wikipedia and  it's main focus is  on the  21st century and the  problems that is occurring in Haiti during this time , Like the earthquakes, major damages and how many countries responded to appeals for humanitarian aid. Dispatching rescues and medical teams and how they come to help Haiti after there natural disasters  .It also talks about the condition Haiti was in after there earthquakes.

I then found this very interesting source ! This came from the new York times , Haitian Cry in Letters  . It showed basally letter’s from people in Haitians refugee camps asking from help .In the last couple of weeks, thousands of displaced  have similarly vented their concerns, depositing impassioned pleas for help in new suggestion boxes at a hundred camps throughout the disaster zone. all kinds of people are dropping  letters seeking help into a collection box at the camp for displaced earthquake survivors where there are now living .

This is a journal entry of Haiti’s earthquake relief , there long term needs and there local resources. Dominique Bayard  explains that she saw Haitian’s people helping themselves . She did not see really  Other’s Aiding Haiti but the ones that are simply from Haiti . In this entry she say’s that it hurts her how little help Haiti does not receive the help they truly need . How they need to build emergency room’s but no one want’s to help . Am focusing on this entry because i would love to understand who helps Haiti or just any other place’s that are affected by natural disasters.

This is a journal entry  from the NEW ENGLAND MEDICINE CENTER . in this article it talks about the many health problems  Haiti people face . how patterns of respiratory infections, diarrhea, infectious disease outbreaks, poor sanitation where occurring after earthquakes .  chronic diseases were also occurring .

starting my Annotated bibliography was a bit difficult simply because i don't really have a main focus .  I would like my main topic to be "The rebuilding of Haiti " but i think that's to broad . so for now i will keep thinking but in the meantime i got some really good sources for this topic .

What they dont want you too see !

4) In the film we see many graphic scenes of war. Many were shown on the news in the United States while the war was being fought. In more recent wars, fewer of these images have been seen by the public. Do you think these images serve a purpose? Should they be shown?

                    I never really got a clear understanding of what a war was because I was honestly not really interested in it. Having seen this film in class "hearts and minds” by Peter Davis it completely changed my whole mind set on the war life! There were all kinds of different sources in this film, from real images to interviews, news footage to scenes from old movies. In the film we see many graphic scenes of war. Many were shown on the news in the United States while the war was being fought. Many of those images touched my heart dearly. Images of U.S soldier's beating Vietnam's people, soldier's burning down houses with people still in them. In more recent wars, fewer of these images have been seen by the public. So why is that? I think those images from our former wars served all Americans a purpose. That purpose was making the people more aware of what was really happening in our wars! To open the eyes of other's and let them see that the war was cruel and unjust. Not only to the the other side of the fighting world but also to our side.  Our soldier’s were abusing their powers correct but it was also affecting our soldier’s. The war left people, paralyzed, brain dead, terrorized, in fear! Was this worthy of a fight? Of a war? I honestly think they should have shown these images and continue showing these images so that the public could be well informed of what’s going on in our wars. So that many people that our not well informed could be more considered of our issues with other countries and other nations.  

MY BRAINSTORM !

Its funny because the first countries i felt the need of writing the research paper on had to be Puerto Rico simply because am from there ! But then it came to mind that i know everything from there because am from there , i wanna explore a different place ! A  place that i could learn a couple of things i dont know about before this paper . i decided to go with Haiti ! they always interested me because of there natural disturals and there way of life . i dont really know much about there relationship with the untied states but what  i do know is that Haiti tends to go through natural disturals and debts problems and the u.s always seems to pick up where they left off . maybe the relationship they share with the U.S could be the military system , there poverty problems. when i looked up my countries on Wikipedia i got all types of stuff . something i got in one of the entry's that i found somewhat important has to be there understanding of the economy problems that's going on . people from this country and its relationship to u.s has to be maybe there economic exchange and there government systems . I think the way people from this country and the U.S. come into contact with each other could be through cultural exchange , economic exchange & medical issues . When i looked at my Wikipedia entry of the country  i chose the only thing i could say that was good as to provide something worth using had to be there entry with the new York times , they talked about the pledge the U.S is doing  to help Haiti rebuild there place . i found that real interesting . one information that it had that i did not find important was there facts on Haitian diaspora , how Millions of Haitians live abroad. that's not something i really care about .
