    Smiley Smile is the twelfth studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys. It was released on September 18, 1967 and managed to reach number nine on the UK record charts. In the US however, it was not perceived as well and only managed to reach spot forty-one. The CD comes off weak compared to the album Smile, which was a much more well-constructed LP that was never released by the Beach Boys. Smiley Smile took a lot of its inspiration from Smile, the most notable change being that four pre-existing songs from smile were taken to Smiley smile with significantly scaled down arrangements. This however does not make Smiley Smile a bad CD. There are many elements to Smiley Smile that made it an album that stood out for its time such as its Lo-fi…

    Biodiversity is important to sustaining the ecosystem. According to UNDP.org (2010), the activities of microbial and animal species – including bacteria, algae, fungi, mites, millipedes and worms – condition soils, break down organic matter, and release essential nutrients to plants. These processes play a key role in the cycling of such crucial elements as nitrogen, carbon and phosphorous between the living and non-living parts of the biosphere. The gray wolfs of Yellowstone National Park are an example of what happens when one species is eliminated and how the absence of that species affects the ecosystem as a whole.…

    With the movie Avatar, Pandora is presented as a virgin land of unspoiled beauty, a paradise with a vast landscape full of wildlife, huge trees, plants that react and move like animals, astonishing rainforests, wonderful waterfalls, lakes, rivers, massive cliffs hovering above the ground, impressive mountains and magnificent animals. It is nature as something divine and marvelous. Contrary to Pandora's magnificent natural landscape, the base's environment is purely a military construct in which everything is gray and dark and only artificial light exists. The image of this lifeless place in which the only things are enormous excavators, trucks, steel and chain-link fences, huge tractors, gigantic, heavily- armored, human-operated…

    Ecosystems at Risk

    • 685 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Ecosystems are constantly changing and developing in response to stress induced changes. In nature, change usually takes a long time to occur. The biome eventually adapts as animals and plants that have characteristics that aren’t suited to the occurring change eventually die out and those more suited to the change, remain alive and breed and pass their characteristics along to future generations. This is known as natural selection. Unexpected natural disasters have also caused whole species to die out almost instantly due to not having enough time to adapt. The damming of a river, the draining of a wetland or the cleaning of vast tracts of natural vegetation for agriculture are sudden and drastic changes that may result in loss of habitat and devastation of a species.…

    Composers of science fiction texts attempt to explore the novum (Suvin) to simulate its consequences on the status quo. In doing so, a didactic message is revealed to provoke controversy and debate about possibilities for the subversion of humanity. Ursula Le Guin’s award-winning novel The Left Hand of Darkness (1969) and James Cameron’s film Avatar (2009) – highest-grossing film of all time, augur the requirement for unity. While Le Guin excoriates the political and military tension during the Cold War, and Cameron – the armed conflict between America and Iraq, both composers ultimately satirises their social paradigms with the intention of promoting the necessity for social, political and cultural amalgamation to prevent a cataclysmic milieu.…

    James Cameron’s AVATAR is an epic science fiction action drama movie. This film, even though it is a fantasy, contains so many scenarios that can apply to modern or past societies. The story revolves around Jake Scully in his journey as an anthropologist/ body guard in the world of Pandora, and how he experiences first hand a lot of the anthropology themes and terms we have discussed in class. The story starts off in 2154 when humans have depleted the Earth from its natural resources. A company called the RDA mines for a valuable mineral that powers equipment and has several other uses found a planet containing a large amount of this mineral. This planet is named Pandora. Pandora is a densely forested planet habited by several creatures, most importantly by the Na'vi, 10-foot tall, blue-skinned, sapient humanoids who live in harmony with nature and worship the planet itself. The expansion of the mining colony threatens the existence of the Na’vi culture and land, and this is what the whole movie is about. The most prevalent anthropological themes and ideas found in the film AVATAR are globalization and spirituality.…
