People and Nature
Life is possible due to the balance existing in nature as it enables
water to be in the form as we see and savor. In this sense, our life is
connected to nature, and we should cherish and protect it. However, (in
American context) people think differently about this matter. They all
focus too much on economic growth, expansion, technological
advancement, and other things which in the process also cause harm to
the nature. Take fossil fuel and oils, for example. We have enormously
exploit, burn, and utilize it in all of our everyday vehicles and business
operations. This has caused emission of carbon dioxide and air pollution
to soar up in recent years. In other sector, we have also excessively cut
down our forests to open up lands for development. We have not
carefully thought that this would cause irregularity in rain patterns,
failure of crops, and river flow to stop. Then, as we dive into ocean
context, we can also see that people have been overexploiting its
resources, not realizing that half of them would be thrown away. To top it
all, there is also our industrial practices which have generated tons of
harmful wastes and environmental emissions. As parts of them are
disposed carelessly into the air, water, land, and any other places we
desire, outbreak of new diseases, such as cancers in infants, respiratory
problems, ashtma, and childhood diabetes has taken death tolls on us.
These human misconducts have lead to the emergence of a common,
overused term of global warming or the heating of the earths
temperature.
Global Warming
Nowadays, our earths temperature has been the highest ever in
the history. One impact it has caused is the melting of Arctic regions
which should have been the cooling agents of our earth. This shows that
the earth cannot resist the temperature rise and thus the earth will keep
warming up. The second and widespread impact is climate change. It has
extensive effects on ocean current, weather patterns, and other nature
aspects. In the case of ocean, its temperature has risen. Should the
temperature rise further to a certain point, the ocean surface can be
stagnant and thus killing off the whole organisms living in the ocean. In
Favorite Scene
My favorite scene in the movie is (01:13:56) to (01:14:16) when it
is shown that penguins, from cardboard boxes, are released to the sea.
There, they all dash to the sea water, happily going to the place where
they really belong. I love this scene as it makes me realize how love for
naturepenguinscan make me feel joyful and relieved. In addition, it
also shows me just how pretty and right it is when things are (in positive
meaning) where they should be, i.e. the penguins which should be in the
sea. This, I think, is also one of the forms of balance we need to maintain
so that sustainability will be secured.
