Greenpeace In Paul Watson's Tora !
After reading this week’s reading “Tora! Tora! Tora!” by Paul Watson I defiantly understand both ideas of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society and also the ideas of the Greenpeace. Both groups are working to achieve the same goal even though they are going about it in different ways. Due to the aggressiveness of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society they have been able to shine a light on the issue and make a TV show based on the issue because like to see action. Although the Sea Shepherd efforts have been able to help the endangered marine life I do not believe that this way of fighting for it is right because violence only breads more violence and it’s only a matter of time before they are met with resistants in a aggressive way in which

    How does the documentary Wrenched! illustrate the roots of environmental movements? Relate the themes of the documentary to the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline and in favor of protecting the environment of the reservation of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the many federal waterways in that vicinity. How is peaceful protest different from environmental terrorism? How do industries, governments, environmental organizations, and even individual people exploit the impact of a term like " environmental terrorism" to persuade public opinion? NOTE: Both sides in many debates about environmental issues use this term against the other side!…

    What are you doing to help our environment? Are you recycling because it positively impacts the environment, or are you recycling because it is trendy? According to Alex Williams essay, “Buying into the Green Movement,” companies are turning an environmental movement into a fashion statement. Many people are only buying eco-friendly products because television and magazines advertise the movement as a new trend. The eco-friendly fashion statement is actually making consumers buy more, which defeats the purpose of conserving our planet. Although it is important to buy and pay attention to economically efficient products, sometimes less is actually more. The essay argues that many people are not cutting back on their usage of day-to-day items. William’s essay strongly shows his passion about the subject. Williams is able to persuade his audience to consume less through his use of logos by stating facts, using ethos to…

    The human race needs to stand up and protect the wildlife. Rather than, acting as if we can do what we want when we please. If we as a society will not protect the living creatures around us, we will die without them and we know it is true. Therefore, we should not be surprised and if we value our lives, we need to value the lives of the creatures like the Hawksbill Sea Turtle. After all, if we had a day to live the life of one of the many endangered species like the Hawksbill Sea Turtle I am sure we would be more respectful. For one major reason, we would understand how we are harming our ecosystems and ourselves in the future. The human society is corrupt and because of us, we are critically endangering the Hawksbill Sea…

Michael Crichton expresses in his speech that we struggle to determine "which of our perceptions are genuine, and which are false because they are handed down." Crichton believes that the greatest challenge facing mankind is distinguishing fact from fiction and whether the threats we face today are real.…

    In today’s society, human rights are being threatened across the globe on a daily basis. Fortunately there is Non-Governmental Organizations from around the world dedicated to protect human rights. I have a deep passion for the Organization I have chosen to write about and feel that their work not only affects a small group of people but everyone in this world as a whole. The group I am speaking of is the Amazon Watch. Though much of the Amazon Watch’s focus is geared towards the indigenous people of the Amazon Basin, they also advocate for the preservation of the Amazon Rainforest as a whole as well, and I firmly believe that If the Amazon Basin is not protected, then the whole world would be affected negatively.…

    These special-interest groups’ focuses on what resolving their particular interests are vs. trying to change a political or social agenda. As long as there have been animals that have been mistreated or used for testing purposes, there has been plenty of motivation for the ALF to strike out against the animal violators. Currently in Wisconsin a bill is being introduce to target animal-rights activists that harass hunters before and during hunting season. (Orrick 2015) These activists are violating the rights of these hunters, by video taping them and following them to their homes, or into the woods. Hopefully this bill is designed to aid in the de-escalation of this special-interest group from crossing the line and becoming a domestic terrorist.…
