Tsunami problems

In 2011, japan experienced a huge tsunami that reaped havoc upon the country. After the tsunami hit, much of the country had experienced damage.  Nationwide, japan poured cement to depend much of it's shoreline. Three years after the massive tsunami that ravaged northeastern Japan, the government is building the biggest anti-tsunami barriers ever. Japan chose to use cement and defense tactics against future tsunami damage to build a wall. Citizens spent time pouring cement and creating a 17 foot cement wall to protect themselves from harm should there ever be another tsunami to hit. The huge cement wall built in Japan was starting to be called by some "the Great Wall of Japan". Some people are upset about this wall being built, because it is a huge change of scenery and messing with nature. But on another hand, it is only being built for protection and the future safety of Japan. I think that although a huge cement wall that is blocking view, it is important to keep in mind that it is only being built to also block the tsunami, should there ever be another.
