Like poverty tourism to the favelas in Brazil, philanthropic tourism to villages in Africa, or even aid tourism to far-flung volunteer missions, disaster tourism raises uncomfortable questions about power and inequality. Tourists are in a unique position of privilege. They have the power, money and freedom to visit — then leave — a disaster zone, while locals act as objects of human tragedy, selling their misery to help rebuild their communities.  2, record 2, English, - disaster%20tourism

As used in ordinary parlance, "cruelty" signifies a disposition to inflict suffering; to delight in or exhibit indifference to the pain or misery of others; mercilessness or hard-heartedness as exhibited in action. If in the marriage relationship, one spouse by his conduct causes wanton, malicious or unnecessary infliction of pain or suffering upon the body, the feelings or emotions of the other, his conduct may well constitute cruelty which will entitle a petitioner to dissolution of the marriage if, in the court's opinion, it amounts to physical or mental cruelty "of such a kind as to render intolerable the continued cohabitation of the spouses.

You and a friend have been caught by the police with a stolen car. They rightly suspect both of you of another, more serious offence, but have no proof. You are being held in separate cells and cannot communicate. The police offer you a deal: if you tell them about your friend’s other crime you will not be charged with stealing the car. You surmise that they have offered your friend the same deal. What do you do? If you both stay silent, both of you will be charged with the lesser crime - a good result. If both of you talk, both will go to jail for a more serious offence, on evidence of each other’s testimony - a bad result. But the dilemma is: if you alone stay silent, you will be punished for both offences while your accomplice walks free.  3, record 9, English, - prisoner%27s%20dilemma

The "prisoner's dilemma" has been a favourite story of economists for many years, for it illustrates a much more widespread problem : how individual ambition can lead to collective misery. Traffic jams are prisoner's dilemmas : the more people take individual steps to alleviate congestion(by using public transport) the more they benefit others who do not share their public-spiritedness. Price wars in the airline industry are another example.  3, record 9, English, - prisoner%27s%20dilemma
