1. Charles, Jacqueline. Politics of International Aid in Sharper Focus Following Haiti Earthquake. United States, Washington: McClatchy - Tribune Information Services, 2010. http://search.proquest.com/docview/456410514?accountid=3360.

This explains how the Earthquake prompted a new, nationwide economic uprising; as every country is out to get some of the action and hopeful economic strive from pouring money into Haiti, Haiti has turned into a pressINg conflict, as to decide where the money goes. Currently, this states most, if not all of the money is going to NGs, and it has become an issue as to which NGOs should receive the money, how it should be spent, and how Haiti can control aid agencies and reliefs. This raises a conflict of NGOs that says whether or not they are reliable, stable, and valid. It also effected Haiti's history of corruption (economically), and poses the question as to where Haiti should proceed for the better of every nation including itself.

Interestingly, this article regards how the economic standing of the situation encompassing Haiti is a tactic to which politicians can gain popularity and prevalence. In other words, it explains how politicians are using the notion of giving money to Haiti and helping those in need, devastated by economic corruption, to get more people to agree and vote for them in the long run. Raising moral, ethical, and urgent questions, this article shows an ideal picture of how the earthquake corrupted the entire world, not just Haiti itself.

This review tells of how Haiti was a disaster (man-made) to begin with, with poor infrastructure, homelessness, malnutrition, etc. Most of this is a result of the minimal economic development and opportunity which Haiti has seen over the past years, and now that it is in such a worsened state, countries nationwide should see it to learn from their mistakes which caused Haiti to delve into such a decline, and not create more dependency on outside nations for economic support, but to prioritize to establish a working economy with job and cash flow to rebuild Haiti from the rubble it was in before and after the earthquake.

This article speaks of the enormous issues which Haiti faces, including HIV/AIDS, malnutrition, lack of educational systems, human rights, etc. and how the Earthquake caused a huge setback in efforts to relieve and solve these problems. Also, that these problems are a priority to rid society from, but are a defining characteristics of Haiti. It explains individuals and groups which have missions and goals to innovate which grasps Haiti and how the economy of Haiti helps to ensure the eminence of such issues in society, even more pressing with the earthquake at hand.
