Globalization has changed and shaped how we perceive the world for the past centuries. With the emerging trends of technological advancement, humans nowadays live in much more convenient lives as a results of benefitting from it. From the ability to order foods online, call an Uber through smartphones to communication face-to-face from the other side of the world, everything is within reach and thus implement our digital-active lifestyle. However, with great power comes great responsibilities, the consequences of us living in such privilege and modern upbringing resulted from high consumption and depletion of natural resources. According to the World Counts, the Earth’s natural resources are only good for 2 billion people at the current demand, …show more content…
Symbolically, if the Humans win, then they will have wept out the entire forests by successfully killing Shishigami (Deer Gods) and the entire animals. The Irontown will expand themselves even larger and Lady Eboshii will probably build her own entire clan in the area. The area will be extremely prosperous given the fact that the forest itself is rich in natural resources. In addition, there will be more pride and greed from the townspeople, which give them hungers to expand in order to discover new resources. The aftermath of this is similar to a chain reaction, meaning that other forests in Japan will continue to be eradicated. Gods will no longer exist and thus the world will not be the same. On the other side, if the Nature wins, Lady Eboshii and Irontown will cease to exist in this world. As a results, there are no right or wrong answers to the arguement. The only solution for this comes from the differing factions of humanity and nature by attempting to understand one another. Example of Ashitaka combating with the demon curse in his right arm truly epitomized this. He struggles with his own anger every time his cursed arm tries forcing himself to kill all the living things. However, when Shishigami knows that he has no intention of harming any, the curse faded away after the Deer God himself heals

    Hyperglobalist Perspective Analysis

    The hyperglobalist perspective otherwise known as the optimistic perspective, points out that globalization has brought great social and economic benefits and argue that environmental problems can be solved by the technology that created them, implying that sustainable solutions are gradually emerging. Such as pollution monitoring and restoration ecology. They further argue that today’s commercial companies sometimes pioneer rather than follow inventions and provide new insights into how the economy as well as humans and nature can peacefully and successfully co-exist (Kopnina and Blewitt, 2015) the wider implications of the hyper globalist positon is that the world will become borderless, national governments will become increasingly meaningless…

    Does Globalization Contribute To Sustainable Prosperity Essay

    As an inhabitant of this world, we may be asked the question; “To what extent does globalization contribute to sustainable prosperity for all people.” This is a question that not many people can answer, while some will provide a vague definition of either globalization or sustainability that is off topic. This just shows how naïve we are to the world around us. As global citizens, I believe we should be more knowledgeable and have a broader understanding of events happening around the world. If people became more knowledgeable and understanding, they would see that there is more than meets the eye to these global issues, but more so that citizens would be able to help those in need and the environment stay sustainable for future generations.…

    Daniel Quinn Ishmael Analysis

    One of the main reasons that environmental issues have arose are due to excessive human use. “Totalitarian agriculture is based on the premise that all the food in the world belongs to us, and there is no limit whatever to what we may take for ourselves and deny to all others.” (Story of B pg. 260). Instead of nature, the people have…

    Ishmael: An Adventure Of The Mind And Spirit By David Quinn

    Many concerns are growing about climate change and other environmental issues that the world is being faced with as a result of humans. Humans are constantly being blasted with messages from media about how humans need to make detrimental changes in our daily lifes. Media hardly tackles essential problems; leaving out details and failing to report the heart of the issues. So, we the people have yet to really understand when it comes to the planet. Individuals understand that people are messing with some of Earth’s crucial systems, and will face the backlashes.…

    Appiah How The Future Will Judge Us Analysis

    The United States consumes more natural resources than any other country in the world and over the years has acted almost recklessly in regards to the state of the atmosphere. We are, as a nation, so wasteful in regards to natural resources that, despite being the world’s largest producer, we are the world’s greatest importer/buyer. Appiah expresses his thoughts by saying, “It's not as though we're unaware of what we're doing to the planet: We know the harm done by deforestation, wetland destruction, pollution, overfishing, greenhouse gas emissions—the whole litany.” Movements like the Green Party have begun to try to combat the harm being done to the environment and to educate the public in hopes to change the attitudes and mentalities of being environmentally conscious. If the environment of the future is destroyed, we will be held accountable which is why change must begin now.…

    The Global: Sneaker From Asia To Everywhere

    Globalization may help economic growth in certain countries, however in other countries it is creating harm. Globalization is creating pollution, a decrease in employment, it's making people lose their tradition, and it's making people be abused at their work. In the article The Global: Sneaker From Asia to Everywhere, it explains how pollution affects our environment. Some factories dump toxic waste into rivers or streams, which expose deadly fumes to our air. If geographers believe that the world may not have enough resources for the whole population, then why are they wasting one of our valuable resource?…

    How Globalization Went Bad Summary

    American problem When we think of America, the images of Times Square, Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, clean city, beautiful campus of Harvard or other fancy university comes into our mind. In some extreme cases we think of Macy’s or Victoria’s Secret’s showrooms, but we never think of wars, terrorism, military attacks, drug abuse, over throwing governments at first. We have some positive pictures of The United States in our mind, because we mostly see positive things about America in news and media. That optimistic picture is making us blind to the reality. We are immune to the distractions created by America, because of its influence and dominant media industry.…

    Indigenous Health

    I feel often times, the Western way of connecting with the environment is through having an appetitive outlook. For instance, in the documentary, Guardians of Eternity show that rather than seeing the blueberry fields and a habitat where people and animals live, the Giant Mine company saw the Yellowknife area as a great pile of resources that can be manipulated and transformed for profits and money (Shebafilms, 2012). This is a very dangerous way to look at nature and ecosystems as the majority of natural resources are non-renewable, therefore, these Indigenous “medicines” can never be restored once they are destroyed. Much like how the blueberry fields in Yellowknife are now gone and instead 237, 000 tonnes of arsenic being stored underground remain (Shebafilms, 2012). This has significantly impacted the Dene community that lives nearby, as it has become their responsibility to ensure that the Arsenic does not escape (Shebafilms, 2012).…

    What Is The NASA Transition?

    Humans must face the inevitable fact that one day the Earth will either become overpopulated or fail to produce the quantity of resources required to sustain the population. On the Earth, us humans remain very limited to what we can accomplish and create by the resources available within the planet's geosphere. Already, the price of precious metals such as gold, platinum, and uranium skyrocket because of their very low supply and very high demand. In the distant future, many of the resources we are currently accustomed to being so abundant will become just as scarce. Even through endeavors to conserve the use of Earth's resources, we are still limited by increasing scarcity and inevitably depletion.…

    Middle Class Research Paper

    The main reason for the increase in people living in the middle class is due to the increase in global wealth and fall of people living in absolute poverty. The rise in the middle class comes with a rise in demand for consumer goods, such as electronic devices, cars, high speed internet and a greater variety of clothes and food products. When people become of a middle class, they generally will begin to demand more varied and ‘luxurious’ products, such as expensive cuts of meat and imported goods (IB DP Geography, 2018). This rise in consumerism, although benefiting the Transnational Corporations, has a disastrous impact on the environment. The environment will be greater impacted on by the rise in middle class as additional land will be required for rearing animals, increased demand for energy, and larger amounts of waste being…

    Consumerism And Planned Obsolescence

    With about 1.7 billion people in the consumer class, the damage of overconsumption in developed countries, greatly impacts the environment. Consumerism in the U.S. is responsible for the depletion of 20% of the world’s resources, and 50% of it’s waste. But, just as capitalism spreads in developing countries, consumer culture spreads with it. As this culture constantly progresses, and the needs of the poor become harder to reach, the welfare of the environment is overlooked. According to the UN human development report in 1998, “runaway growth in consumption in the past fifty years is putting strains on the environment never before seen.”…

    Overconsumption And The Destruction Of The Natural World

    During the 1970s and 1980s America commanded for cheap beef which caused a clearance of extensive rainforests in Central America and Brazil, leading to a devastating effect on the ecological environment (IUNC 2006). This example is a small glimpse into the larger picture of the anthropocentric control over the environment and the cleared land demonstrates the effect overconsumption can have on an environment as it would have led to the destruction of many wildlife. The IUNC (2006) states that the top 20% of the wealthiest countries consume a large amount of natural resources. This figure is alarming due to the core countries depleting the earth of its materials instead of formulating ideas to preserve the environment, and if countries worked together they would have a positive impact on the earth’s environment. If society begun to take less of the worlds materials this would also enable Third World countries to develop an economic place within the world market, reaching goals of equity.…

    Advantages And Disadvantages Of Global Village

    Therefore, the concept of oneness has lost. The second is the corruption and fraud from which no one has immunity. Moreover, the other side of the coin is the over-powering of information and its abuse by nations that are masters and the rest would be slaves. Thus this would results in imbalance of access to natural and human resources, global-economy and will results in fragile Eco-system. Therefore, the modern communicative technology does not truly promote a cohesive Global Village concept in its true essence as was perceived by those in favor.…
