Chapter 2 Research

The 1970 Bhola Cyclone was a tropical Cyclone that occurred in East Pakistan (present day Bangladesh), and India's West Bengal.  Almost 500,000 people lost their lives due to this cyclone.  As a result, over 490 million dollars of damage occurred.  85% of homes were destroyed. Crops were destroyed. Many local small businesses were forced to shut down for good.  Some business in the area on the larger scale, were forced to close for the weeks after the event  but eventually some reopened for business as the cleanup process began to reach it's peak.  The storm surge devastated many of the offshore islands, wiping out villages and destroying crops throughout the region.  East Pakistan was forced to use whatever resources they had available to them which was very little.  Because of the lack of resources available, they had to borrow from India and Afghanistan. This storm affects today because the spot where this storm hit is not even owned by East Pakistan anymore, so therefore, current day Bangladesh has to pay for any damages that are still there that they want replaced.  The nearby vicinity and most of the villages were the only area's the was truly affected by the disaster.

Mini Research 1

 International influence in professional sports.  The New York Rangers have players that represent many different countries.  They have Pavel Buchnevik from Russia, Kevin Hayes from the U.S., Rick Nash from Canada, Oscar Lindberg from Sweden, and Marek Hrivik from Slovakia.

 My reaction to this is that it's awesome that the Rangers have players from all these different countries.  I did research and it showed that the Rangers have scouts on different regions across North America and Europe.   This is international business related because these scouts recruit players internationally for their business, the New York Rangers.  Marketing relates to this topic because the
Rangers advertise in countries where their players are from like the U.S, Canada and even European countries to get people to buy tickets to games or purchase merchandise from the Rangers themselves.  Overall, the New York Rangers are extremely influenced in international business.
