    In his book titled “The Future of Life”, Edward O. Wilson effectively utilizes satire to illustrate the unproductive nature of an Environmentalist versus People-First debate. By lacking a complete arsenal of constructively, statistically, and logically correct arguments, both point of views were explained with the use of overly dramatic irony, extreme real life examples, and outlandishly childish name-calling. Wilson is able to depict a ludicrous display of an utmost unconstructive argument that ultimately leads to nothing except for the undermining of both parties. One of the highlighting uses of satire that Wilson was able to incorporate, was the manner in which both sides attempted to weaken the opposition with the use of unproductive name-calling. We witness this immature behavior in that the People-First would refer to the…

    America with deep sorrow I tell you this. America if we can see farther than others it is because we have stood on the shoulders of giants, and up here on those shoulders I can see 90 miles off the border and see Cuba there I see that the USSR has put nuclear missile parts there and more are on their way by ship.

    Satire In Brave New World

    • 982 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Samuel L. Jackson once said, “We’ve come a long way in our thinking, but also in our moral decay.” This quote holds true today as society stays rapidly changing and people become more and more desensitized to the horrors of the world. The line between right and wrong fades and turns to a larger gray area, and many things that happen in society today make us question how we, as a collective people, ended up where we are and how we acquired the customs we have today. Aldous Huxley, in his novel Brave New World, uses a great deal of satire and exaggeration to express his concerns for the society he was born into and bring attention to the problems of moral decay, drug dependency, and brainwashing, among other things, in the world.…

    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.…

    High School Satire

    • 1 Pages

    Occasionally I look back on my high school experience and realize I never did a keg stand at a party, I never skipped class to get stoned, and I also never got the guy I had a crush on for three years. Instead, I was studying for that AP government exam, standing in front of my fellow science club members talking about how we can restore our local creek, or working on hitting fastballs for softball. When I catch myself feeling as though I missed out on stereotypical high school or even college experiences I watch a movie not just any movie but a teen comedy. My ideal teen comedy has a group of friends who are about to graduate high school or already have that feel like they missed out on the clique high school experience, in order to gain some…

    One ominous morning of 2008 I woke up to a saddened atmosphere. I look around at my parents, who are hardcore republicans, and asked them what was wrong. They said that they had lost the election. My eight year old self replied that they never won because they never ran, and of course they explained that their party lost the run for presidency. For the years to come every time I would look at the news and see a little “R” next to a person name I would know that they are the “good guys”.…

    There are many ways to harvest chicken and meats, but the most common one and the one you’re consuming may have been raised in the cage free environment and getting injected with steroids. That’s sound free and happy right? Well no is not, cage free stands for having thirty thousands of chicken or even more, stuck in a dark place where they cannot move. The chicken are only allowed to stand in one place, do their needs in that same place and not even get clean. Imagine your meats and poultry being injected with steroids, how bad does that sound?…

He uses satire to reveal that he does not want bokanovskfiy indefinitely because it would take away all individuality.…

    It was on one Friday night in October, my parents’ anniversary, I was home alone reading all of the horrific comments over and over again that was on my Facebook timeline about me. It has been a month since my life went up in flames and took a turn for the worse, and I can honestly say I’m sick of everything and I can’t take it anymore. I decided to check my other social media accounts Twitter and Instagram to see if anything was being posted on those about me there because my notifications were going off left and right every second that went by. Tears threaten the brim of eyes as read the tweets, “@slumkingxx__ :Damn have y’all seen @prettybowneyees_xo nudes ;P!”…

    Nowadays, Disney movies are a hit or miss: it is hard to live up to the motto “a film the entire family can enjoy” with every movie. Yet, Disney made an animated masterpiece when it created a utopia for zoo animals. Zootopia is caked with humor, layers of character development, a deep understanding of how stereotypes and racism affect society as the icing on top with bits of symbolisms being the cake topper. With these features and themes, Zootopia is Disney’s latest movie to engross more than its intended children audience. First and foremost, Zootopia’s humor can be appreciated by the entire family.…
