Dear Annette:I just read your wonderful post and wanted to thank you for your
spot on thoughtful analysis. Like you, I also live here in San Diego and I've
been obsessing about the television commentators who compare San Diego's fires
to Katrina. This is so insulting. Talk about blaming the victim! One thing
I've learned in all my years of teaching and studying psychology is that people
are, by and large, the same around the world. San Diegans are no better or
worse than people in New Orleans. As you've so perfectly described, the
conditions here are nothing like what happened before, during, or after
Katrina. I visited New Orleans twice after the floods and also went to
Gulfport, Mississippi and the devastation was unbelievable. Even two years
after the hurricane these places still look like bombed out shells of their
former selves. I don't know about you, but I've been mentally struggling with
how to process all of this and how to make this situation a learning experience
for my students. How can we help them understand the inappropriate comparisons
to Katrina without minimizing or denigrating our own losses? I'm thinking that
I might try a Values Walk when I get back to class next week. Any other
ideas? Thanks, Karen PS Like you, my home and family are all safe, yet I also
feel brain dead. Thanks for validating my lack of focus.
