I chose the Covering Risk secret. In this article Peter Sandman writes about risks and how people see them. He splits up risk into hazard and outrage and explains what he means by this. Outrange basicly is the peoples reaction. It describes how upset or affraid they get about a certain risk. Hazard on the other side is the actual scientific risk to kill or hurt people or the environment. I think that it does make total sense to make this distinction. Especially during crisis people tend to…

It's 2086 and I'm 100 years old now. Since I've probably lived a great part of my live I'll tell my grandchildren and of course everybody else to simply enjoy it.

Helping people that aren't a fortunate as we are in the western civilization brings joy and it helps them to enjoy their lifes. But there are also many things to do around here to help people to…

There are several possible crises that could happen in Germany. To get an image of what could happen you can just look back a few years. There was the elbe flood. Something like Ushahidi would have been very usefull at this crises, because people were traped on their roof waiting for help, but the helping forces of course had to find them first. With Ushahidi the people that were looking for help could have easily postet their location online and it would have been a piece of cake to rescue…

I chose the post on education for girls:
http://www.educationandtransition.org/resources/what-does-it-take-to-educate-a-girl/
It's about two filmmakers who traveled to Nepal and Uganda in 2010 to find the answer to one question: What does it take to educate a girl? In 2000, 110 million children in the world were not in school and two thirds of them were girls. I looked up the film…
