    Diamond and Kincaid are quick to criticize the activities of humans but the authors fail to see that progress betters the future and is not without temporary setbacks which are eventually solved later on. Many of these so called “problems” are only short term and should not take away from how far we have progressed in the area of food production which tremendously helped mankind. As humans, we are imperfect creatures and this quality transcends everything we accomplish. Learning from the past is important because it enables us to improve upon our successes and prevent problems from arising. As far as food production and exploration are concerned, these are aspects of life that improved upon the past by solving problems in the present.…

    Survivalists are individuals who go above and beyond to plan for a secure future in the event of disaster. When most people think of survivalists, or preppers, they automatically associate the group with the negative stigma that accompanies the history. “You can bet Ted Nugent’s crossbow that, for most people, the term “survivalists”—or the more polite “preppers”—conjures images of tinfoil-hat-wearing conspiracy theorists holed up in Montana hoarding canned pinto beans and assault weapons” (O’ Conner). We have all seen or heard of television shows such as Doomsday Preppers that portray the group as extremists.

    In the book “Watchmen” by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, it forces the readers to focus on an aspect that they’d rather not think about: the hopelessness of it all.

For the book as a whole, one of the major themes that sticks out is how everything is hopeless and that there really is no use in resisting what’s going on the world, especially if you are only one person against the whole world.…
