Should We Abandon Louisiana? In Some Ways, We Already Have

 In Should We Abandon Louisiana? In Some Ways, We Already Have

Zach Kopplin, writer of the article, starts off by stating the horrific Louisiana floods did not get enough media attention. Zach says that the tragedy wasn't enough of a selling point-its the media conspiracy that gets people to care. I completely disagree with this, the Louisiana floods got plenty of attention, a trending tag on twitter brought attention to the devastating floods, many very popular online celebrities also donated money for families effected by the floods. Yes, major news channels didn't have broadcast over the floods, but compared to larger problems such as ISIS and North Korea. Were talking about a flood we can all recover from in one year or less, is this worthy to have national attention over bigger problems? The media may not always focus on the most important, but in times of despair not every problem wins the national spotlight. I believe the local news station brought plenty of attention to the floods.

     The flood in Louisiana and the natural disaster in Florida, I believe come from climate change. Well, what's responsible for all this, Zach states it's climate change. Personally I feel Louisiana will be forgotten very soon and will be abandon, people may take steps to prevent this, but Louisiana is a lost cause. Louisiana is not worth saving and should only be remembered for it's historical, remarkable past.

  1. I like your view on what Zach Kopplin said. I never thought that maybe we weren't getting a lot of national news coverage because of more important things like ISIS. The one thing I disagree about is that I don't think we should go ahead and give up Louisiana. I think we should try to keep it as long as possible.
