Answer both questions. Q2 is based on the book: Blindness by Saramago. It is not an essay. 1. Can armed conflict/civil strife lead to man-made disasters that resemble natural disasters? If so, please give some examples. 2. In Blindness, the government issued: 15 rules to follow, that people should "do their duty" (pp.39-40) A policy that "supplying food is not the government's responsibility" (p.72) Dis-information regarding the bus crash... a. Did Saramago write Blindness to show such lack of preparedness planning? b. Is Blindness relevant today? If so, how? Did our federal government, during the current pandemic, disregard its responsibility to provide leadership to its citizens?
