Rebuilding The New World After The Apocalypse

By Anna West


It is almost impossible to imagine a global disaster because it is so unthinkable and would completely change the lives of everybody on the planet. There is a huge number of threats that could change the Earth in ways that would make current societies crumble. It is a comfort to know, however, that former civilizations of the past were able to rebuild their society after events like these, letting the people of today know that rebuilding the new world is possible.

Science and history are some of the most important things that mankind can preserve in the face of a global disaster. Without the knowledge of the past, progress would be greatly slowed after a disaster. It would also be hard to know what caused the disaster in the first place.

It is likely that when disaster strikes, governments are the first thing to be abandoned. Without law and order, chaos might ensue, and it is possible that huge numbers of people might die because of it. That is why forming new governments is highly important.

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.

It would be ideal if the society that is formed after a major catastrophe has wounded mankind was more conscious of the environment than ever before. It is quite possible that any disaster that might threaten humanity could be caused by their own impact on the environment. If a new society was more aware of this and respected the responsibility to be in harmony with the environment, more catastrophes might be avoided.

It is hard to think about re-establishing all of the elements of society in the early period after a terrible disaster has occurred. This is a time when most people will only be thinking about their own preservation and will be doing everything they can to find clean water, food, and keeping themselves and their families safe. Once enough time has passed, however, people will want to come out again and return societal ways.

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.

One of the highly important things to take into account in these types of situations is where the bathroom will be. This is something that should be decided as soon as the water source is established. This is because if the outhouse is less than 20 meters away from the well or other type of water source, the water could easily become infected and threaten the healths of anyone who drinks it.
