Impact of ignoring warning.

      Monday and Tuesday, we were listening to Hidden Brain Podcast. It was about Cassandra's curse, and curse of Cassandra that applied to the present life. Cassandra could see the future, but nobody believed her. In the Greek myth, Troy and Greece had war. The war took so long. So Greeks made Trojan Horse. Cassandra warned to do not open the gate, but they ignored. They opened the gate, and  Greeks warriors destroyed the village. When Cassandra went to the Greece for the slave, she warned to Agamemnon about the wife's affair. But Agamemnon ignored it, and he got killed by his wife during the bath. Cassandra's curse applied in real world. There is a giant tunnel in Alaska. It is made of permafrost. When the permafrost melts, it emits extraordinary amount of CO2. Global Warming is getting worse now. The Global Warming melts the permafrost. And the extraordinary amount of CO2 that stored in the permafrost makes Global Warming even worse. Everyone say let's reduce the environmental pollution. But people don't care that much. It makes the Global Warming worse and worse. For the another example, in 1983 the Challenger starcraft exploded in the air because of the malfunction. It happened because NASA ignored the warning. And also Andrew Natsios who leaded the USAID, warned about the terror in Sudan. His warnings and advice had an impact, and U.S. supplied billions of dollars in aid to Sudan over the several years. So, listening to the warning carefully is very important. Since now, you need to listen carefully when somebody warning to you!

  1. I like how you stated all the ways ignoring a warning could affect people. The only thing is that I wish you would have stated how you would handle someone not taking your warning or not believing someone else's warning. I like how at the end you said what you think the reader should do in the future.
