When the 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti on January 12, 2010, at least 220,000 people lost their lives, and millions were displaced from their homes.[1] By contrast, 15,000 people died in the 2011 9.0-magnitude Japanese earthquake. However, much more attention was paid by middle-class Westerners to the Japanese earthquake.
