The once beautiful and flourishing Earth had been taken over by extensive amounts of waste. Wall-E cruises around all day sorting and mashing waste into compact cubes. Every day is the same for Wall-E until an Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator (EVE) robot arrives. Eve is scanning the planet trying to find any form of sustainable life. Together Eve and Wall-E are working to bring human life back to Earth. Humans created a wasteland once called Earth; however, all cleanup is left to lifeless robots. Basic salvation skills were lacking changing life as they knew it. Choices humans made impacted the way civilization ran. Culture changed completely. Three problems left society lacking individuality environmentalism and conservation. Since the Earth had been overtaken by waste absolutely no human life remains. Instead, a monopolistic business had sent everyone on a space vacation where they had been for over seven hundred years. Due to drastically different conditions in space, humans no longer live normal lives. Absolutely every aspect …show more content…
A lengthy analysis will focus on environmentalism, individuality, and conservation. Without humans changing habits normal culture will disappear. Adjustments on board the spaceship would have prevented a radical culture shock when returning to Earth. Reminding the brainwashed humans of their previous lifestyle would smooth out the transition back home. Promoting individualism by eliminating a communistic captain controlled by a corrupt computer system is first. Next, explaining the fundamentals of the environment and how it can be protected can prevent another ecological catastrophe. Lastly, people need to take powerful, provocative steps to restore home to a blossoming and attractive

    With the advancement of modern medicine following the second world war came an exponential increase in the world’s population. With this staggering growth came an accelerated use of resources, which are not being replaced. This has led to the rise of environmentalism, a movement based on using less, in an effort to better protect the earth. James Hamblin, a senior editor and journalist for the Atlantic, is a proponent of this movement. In his article, “Living Simply in a Dumpster,” Hamblin highlights the ideas and motives behind Jeff Wilson’s, a college dean and professor, choice to live in a dumpster.…

    The reading for this week comes from William Cronon’s book Uncommon Ground. Throughout the passage, Cronon argues that our modern view of wilderness is paradoxically flawed, but due to the historical effects of the sublime and the frontier that emerged at the end of the 19th century, the adoration of wilderness has become ingrained in our culture. These ideologies have imprinted man-made moral values and cultural symbols on wilderness. Cronon asserts that this romanticism of nature currently underpins actual environmental concerns. He concludes reading stating that a middle ground where humanity and nature intersect must be found in order to create a better world.…

    As people continue to upgrade and advance computer technology, focusing on mimicking human traits and patterns, it won’t be long until robots begin to replace us. Many people can say without hesitation that mass unemployment will erupt as companies resort to cheaper and more efficient artificial workers.

This second part doesn’t seem too bad, in fact its a sci-fi lovers dream (my dream) of slowly becoming one with robots.…

    Imagine having summer all year long, being under the sweltering heat, breathing the stuffy, sick air, and conditions worsening as the day goes by. These harsh conditions are increased by air pollution and climate change through cars and factories; man-made inventions. These innovative technologies have been necessary in order to have a functioning and developing society and economy. However, the belief that humans are the sole cause of climate change is refuted by scientists, advocating that the change in the Earth’s climate is a natural cause. Earth formed over about 4.5 billion years ago, and it has changed ever since then.…

    Areas that have been effected by overconsumption and the conflict this has on nature and society The natural world has fallen victim to the anthropocentric ideal of evolution as the natural world has been overconsumed by society in order for global development. Cronon (1995) states that natures worth is measured and judged by civilisation, claiming that society produces a dualistic world of humans and nature being placed at opposite ends of the spectrum. This ideal is ironic seeing as development cannot be achieved without nature, and nature cannot be sustained and conserved without the protection of society. Cronon (1995) displays the false truths of society as we live in an urbanized world although beliefs are held that our natural home…
