However, America is usually the one that helps the most with aiding other countries. Japan will most likely try to get loans and donations from as many countries as it can in order to finance its debt. Japan already has such a big problem because a large number of its workforce has died and its GDP has fallen. Also, much of its resources, such as nuclear power, etc., has been wiped out and that is severely weakening its economy. What can be learned is that technology on disasters, such as earthquakes, etc., need to be worked on in order to anticipate disasters as quickly as possible so that the damage is kept at the very minimum and lives aren't in jeopardy. It greatly helps the nation and economy get back on its feet more smoothly and quickly. <br />-Kevin Rodgers, Sloan, Period 2Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365046098120594477.post-76505990717644214982011-03-23T22:27:47.920-07:002011-03-23T22:27:47.920-07:00I think every country that wants to, should contri...I think every country that wants to, should contribute money for Japan. Japan will have to find a way to pay back the money but the money was used for the good of the country so the issue of paying it back shouldn't be a burden for Japan. A countries GDP can benefit if people keep spending on goods and slowly stabalize the country. The U.S can learn from this experience by not underestimating mother-nature, even though big disasters like this rarely happen in the U.S.<br />Jose Alvarez.

Yet they must yet again borrow money so that they may be able to form their country. Also they were prepared yet that still didn't stop all the damage that was caused by the earthquake and tsunami. What the U.S. could learn from Japan though is to be ready for natural disasters and also not let what happen in New Orleans happen again.
