    other people talk about ways to help it and make i?t a better place for us all to live. In my opinion human relations to the land is simply that we live on it, as for air we breathe it, and animals we consume and befriend. However Jensen says “If people develop new ways to live on their land more sustainably, and those in power decide that land is needed for roads and shopping malls and parking lots, those in power will seize that land.

I have the uttermost confidence that this is highly controversial, we do not give much consideration to our fellow person unless it is a racial or sexual orientation issue. Such as David Ray Parker could have cared less about each of his victims, they were beyond abused! Nonetheless, I agree with Jensen when he goes on to say, “Blindness is suffering is one of this culture’s central defining characteristics,” (Jensen, 124).

As my junior high teacher always said “The world still has on their blinders, like you would put on a horse, and they refuse to take them off”.

    I am writing to you today out of extreme concern, to be honest, and with deep unease for the youth of this generation. With respect to your show, ‘South Park’ - I find that its impact has a completely toxic effect on not only children but on everyone. South Park episodes are viewed in the millions, and its humor and ideas are communicated worldwide. There is also no age limit to watch South Park episodes, which makes this cartoon even more dangerous. I have found that this show emphasizes on…
