Save the World versus Man-Made Disaster: A Cultural Perspective Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Hasanuddin University Abstract This article review examines two sides of disaster that are inherent to be a part of human life. Through the cultural perspectives, disaster can be divided into two main parts, namely natural disasters that are given and other disasters caused by human activities that do not keep this nature well. Well natural guarding is closely related to 1) human behavior, 2) worldview, 3) awareness, and 4) caring. These four aspects can be examined from a cultural perspective which in turn will foster a new awareness for humans as the inhabitants of the earth. Save the World is the motto that persuades humans to safeguard the earth and the environment, while Man-Made Disaster is a human condemnation of another human that creates environmental damage that directly or indirectly leads to disaster. Keywords: save the world, man-made disaster, disaster mitigation, cultural perspective Topic: Human factors |
