While some people are concerned with a president having the power to enact orders and directives, it is necessary the person in power has the ability to use the necessary power to effectively lead and manage (Ganziano, 2001). While there are often no judicial reviews in place to challenge the directives, the Presidential Policy Directive / PPD8 was put in place, not to alter the rights of private citizens, rather to “enhance the country’s security and resilience against emergency challenges” (Janssen, n.d.).

Specifically, three points I am greatly affected by are your description of hunger in Haiti, your visual of looking into a child’s eyes and your analogy of a village’s support. Firstly, I am impacted by your description of hunger in Haiti stating, “The younger children have been eating dirt, small rockets and even goat feces to fill their bellies.
