What some people believe about Haiti and the devastating effects of the 2010 earthquake revolves around the coverage in the media. While the media hinted at what was going on after the January 12th earthquake, it was not a completely accurate portrayal of the complex issues that existed in the various tent cities of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Almost two years later in 2011, almost 500,000 people were still living in unacceptable conditions in scattered parts of the capital. The things that I witnessed firsthand in Port-au-Prince over the summer of 2011 as an undergraduate student conducting ethnographic research speak to the impact that the earthquake has had beyond the physical damage, particularly in terms of social conditions. What I came away with from my research was that making change is not a question of economics but of humanity
