National Park System Video Analysis
The history of National Park system presented in the video tells us the story of people from different backgrounds who devoted their lives to build the national parks. The national park idea is aimed to preserve and protect the natural resources for everyone and for all the time. Through the history of National Park that captured in the video, it showed that everyone is included, given the equal opportunity to be part of the national park, regardless of race, ethnic, gender, religion, and age. National parks are preserved for all the generations to witness the American history; they all have a chance to see these precious places, species, and plants that exist in our country and to enjoy the nature. Parks belong to everyone and all of us, it’s

    Jimmy Carter’s clever use of personal anecdote begins his argument of why the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should be kept preserved. In the the article it says, “More than a decade ago, [my wife] Rosalynn and I had the fortunate opportunity to camp and hike in these regions of the Arctic Refuge. During bright July days, we walked along ancient caribou trails and studied the brilliant mosaic of wildflowers…” This short anecdote gives the audience a moving feeling. Carter makes us feel as if we are there with them, walking the trails and feeling the environment. He gives us an impression that we want/need to keep the environment preserved. He emphasized how beautiful the landscape is to give an impression of guilt if the landscape were to…

    First, my personal reaction to the protests was that I was amazed how ignorant people can be about Native Peoples’ rights. In the very beginning of the video, we see the cruelty of words being used. People were calling Indigenous people “Timber Niggers” because they were thought to be a nuisance to society. They are criticized for being on welfare (although most lower-class of society today is in fact, on welfare). One person even shared the belief that they would spear a pregnant Indigenous woman in order to save their fish.…

    Leading into the beginning of the video the cultural diversity is obvious. People of all different color, race, and background. This technique displays the many differences they all have, yet under the umbrella we call our great nation we are all one in the same. The ad also shows us, no matter your color or background we all have the same rights under the constitution our founding fathers left behind. Vineet Mehr was even quoted in an interview saying “we're using facts and data to prove it. This is not fluffy marketing. These are facts.”…

    PETER WATKINS : Well after all the planning in the preproduction, we started filming between August and September 1970, in the San Bernadino desert about one hundred or so kilometres from Los Angeles. However, in the film we say this is the set of the Bear Mountain Nation Punishment Park in California. The scenes in the film are cross cut between a large military tent on the edge of the park, where dissidents are judged and sentenced by a civilian emergency tribunal - and the desert, where we follow a group of convicted dissidents are carrying out their sentences of having to cross the sixty miles of harsh terrain in the extreme heat to reach the American flag at the end. While under pursuit from the law enforcement officers.…

    8. Do you think access to common resources such as national parks (owned collectively by all citizens) should be open to everyone, all the time? Would your opinion change if the influence of the “crowd” actually diminished the park natural resources or aesthetic value?…

    I stopped by the city park in Jerome, Idaho on Saturday, April 2nd. The reason I picked this park was because it was a very popular place I took my kids growing up. Where I am the Children’s Ministry Director at our church, I thought this was the perfect point to find kids interacting and playing. This park has been popular over the years and I thought it would be a good place to start. When I arrived at the park, other than a family that was throwing a birthday party, adults and kids were scarce. The park had not been managed, granted, this was the first really nice warm Saturday we had had in awhile, but for it being so nice, there were very few people in the park. The reason I mentioned that the park had not been managed is because all winter…

    There has come to my attention recently an arrising conflict over the possibility of a dog park being built in Muscatine Iowa. There are always many sides to any story and this situation seems to prove that statement. I however remain firm in my opinion that a dog park would be an asset to any commuinuty large or small. I have countless reasons for this and will share a few of the most important.…

    When I think of the word natural, my mind escapes to a serene wooded place, rife with life and fauna. I use the term to define ideas and concepts as predetermined, or in a state of purity. Author and teacher Noel Sturgeon argues in her essay “The Politics of the Natural in U.S. History and Popular Culture” that nature is a word teeming with social and political quandaries that have led people to misuse the term, often to the advantage of white males and other powerful groups throughout history. Sturgeon expertly dissects the word “nature” from a variety of angles by examining the political, cultural, and sociological impact the word has made through its misuse throughout the years. Although I largely agree with her position, I find some of…

    The purpose of juxtaposing old footage with more contemporary footage is actually to emphasize the second big idea I have mentioned. The director wants the audiences to realize that we can still see the violence and discrimination in the current society. There were people holding posters like “Negros don’t you want to be white” in the past, and there are police brutality toward African Americans now. Juxtaposition allows the audiences to realize the similarity of the current time and the past. The United States is still prospering while the African Americans are suffering. I agree with the message that has been conveyed through the juxtaposition, but I have to admit that discrimination toward African Americans is much better now than the past. Also, I understand the fact that it will take a lot of time for any countries to achieve a hundred percent racial equality, especially for such a diverse country like the United States. It is always difficult to accept people who are different with us, and it’s a big progress already for African Americans to gain the freedom they have…

    Central Park Reflection

    Imagine a topographical view of Manhattan in the early 1800’s; all you see is squares and streets. This was Clinton’s Commissioner Plan- to level all of Manhattan to make way for streets and buildings. However, what were not taken to account were parks and recreational areas. This would all change in the 1850’s as landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted architect Calvert Vaux won the right to build their project- the Greensward Plan (CentralParkHistory). This plan would become Central Park, which spans two and a half miles from 59th Street to 110th Street and half a mile from Fifth Avenue to Eighth Avenue. For my second New York City trip, I decided to visit Central Park- one of the largest park’s in New York City.…

    I am sitting in my truck under a tree, looking out the window. The sun is starting to disappear but for now it makes me feel warm all over. I am focused on the large amount of people out on a late week night. There were five different groups doing physical activity. Each group was composed of men and women, and had at least 10 people in each group. One group was running, two groups walking, another group was standing all focused on one individual in the group speaking. The fifth group was on the ground and the last group doing sprints.…
