- Title
POWER OF KNOWLEDGE IN TIME OF NATURAL AND HUMAN DISASTERS.
- Authors
Mulita, Reis
- Abstract
Considerable experiences and literature shows that the level of knowledge acquired by a society is directly reflected to the level of negative consequences to humanity during the time of natural and human catastrophes. Through this paper I will bring primary and secondary resources supporting my idea by explaining how knowledge empowers the society reducing/minimizing negative consequences during the human or natural catastrophic situations. Education through curricula or extracurricular programs, information through public and private tools, usage of new technologies, social comportments and other ways of interactions will be part of analyses, comparisons and deductions in order to support the idea presented on the very great influence of knowledge in time of catastrophes. Some different cases coming from Albanian reality such as Report- web platform, Maturanti.al, CIT-E-learning platform, will be part of quantitative and qualitative arguments and methods along this work. This paper will conclude that empowering society through knowledge should be a permanent process beyond catastrophic situations. Any investment on knowledge of the society will indicate significantly negative consequences to the humanity not only during human or natural catastrophes.
