Starting Over

The areas of New Orleans most devastated by Hurricane Katrina is the most dysfunctional in U. S. due to a combination of meteorology and geography. These places had some corruption politically and poor. Most of the people who are living there are African American and they had to evacuate to other places or take waters and shelter at the Superdome. Those people who evacuated, not many people returned. The implications of that move is likely to affect the ability to move out of poverty and into middle class. The quality of schools and family dynamics were some of the local problem that people decided to move out and evacuate. If they have a better quality of schools and a neighborhood, they will have the greater opportunities. The Hurricane Katrina is illustrating that these dysfunctional environment can change the family’s opportunity instantly. The people who survived from Katrina decided to leave New Orleans to some cities like Houston and turned out they had higher quality jobs, schools, and housing. Some people who were displaced by Katrina had new neighborhoods that were better than the old ones they had before. Many people died from the storm but there are some people who were able to get better opportunity because of the storm.
