Mass Causality Incident at Travis Scott Concert
The Travis Scott concert tragedy of November 5, 2021, is one of the latest mass causality incidents. According to Patel and Kasakove (202, the Houston Astroworld festival hosted 50000 people and turned tragic when fans surged the stage to witness Scott's performance. The result was ten deaths and more than 300 injuries. The authors report that hospitals handled more than 25 emergency cases within minutes.
The incident resulted in emotional torture among the victims and their relatives, and Patel and Kasakove report that a series of lawsuits have been filed to seek justice. It was traumatizing to learn about victims' death as young as nine years. One can imagine the helplessness and fear among such a young audience. According to Valinsky (2021) a statement from Live Nation, the event organizer read "heartbroken for those lost and impacted at Astroworld last night," depicting the intense emotions attached to the mass causality. Valinsky also adds that there have been intense financial obligations linked to the incident as families endeavor to get justice. The author indicates that some victims have sought relief of up to $1,000,000.
I imagine being trapped in such an incident, seeing people die for lack of immediate medical attention, having to incur financial burden to foot bills, and most disturbing, living a traumatized life due to the emotional damage. One can easily connect with the response of some of the victims, that, as Patel and Kasakove reports, have declined financial help from Scott. Such events impact persons in ways that finances cannot fill the gaps it has created. It will need a series of psychological sessions for the victims to help them heal from the trauma and come to terms with reality. While this incident is disturbing, it enlightens medical practitioners about the connection between physical and emotional damage and how best to address such incidences. Counseling is essential for those affected by the tragedy as it accelerates healing.

Justice One of the most consistent problems facing the criminal justice system is the influence of institutional culture on the administration of justice, both at the level of the police and the courts. While there are of course written guidelines and laws dictating the actions and decision-making process of both the police and the courts, in practice there is a substantial amount of leeway when it comes to dealing with specific
What was particularly ironic was that soccer had always been a game for whites only: blacks were specifically not included. Of course, the movie had a happy ending when South Africa won the World Cup. But the World Cup didn't completely change South Africa.

Younger works tend to not have organizational loyalty but expect immediate recognition and input, while middle-aged workers that make up the bulk of employees in many settings are themselves often frustrated by a lack of advancement, and are independent minded yet not as expectant of immediate recognition as younger workers (McNulty, 2006).
