Raymond Biojosly's Res Messaging

Improved Essays
In different parts of the globe, identities are shifting, transcending or disappearing from the world. Whether these events were forced to occur or not, the result is that the words ‘diversity’ and ‘freedom’ become less truthful. There are currently people in the world who suffer from conditions that derive from major influences such as environmental, political or eternal tribulations. Considering these factors, should we not take precautions to prevent any future problems? The growing epidemic of climate change is among us, yet we seem to be stagnant in trying to stop it. Viewing the art exhibit “The era of Anthropocene” revealed a new perspective on the events that occurred because of global warming.
A painting that focused on disappearing identities is Raymond Biojosly’s piece ‘Res Gas’, which depicts landscapes of Indigenous neighbourhoods.

However, in Gideon Mendel’s photograph what is displayed is not implicit but an emphasis on the unfortunate events that occur as a result of climate change. The whole exhibit showcased different stages of the effects of global warming. Whether we are located in japan, Canada, Nigeria, or anywhere else, this epidemic influences all of us equally. While some area’s are suffering more than others, the result is still clear; the world will retaliate if we do not terminate our actions towards damaging

In “The Elm Dance, Joanna Macy describes how the people of Novozybkov come to peace, despite the damages of the Chernobyl disaster, through simply discussing their pain.

    Teddy Willcocks Y1 Civics Ms. Marshall Essay Climate change affects everybody and everything all over the world and is impacting how we live our lives. Around the world, we need to tackle the issues of climate change and alter the way we consume and dispose of resources.

    In her article “Are We Missing the Big Picture on Climate Change ?”, Rebecca Solnit argues that climate change is larger than our narrow minded perspective, resulting in it being hard to grasp. She also accuses the fossil fuel industry of being main contributor to this growing issue, that if allowed to continue, will destroy the planet. Through figurative comparisons, hypothetical strategies and second person point of view, Solinit strives to engrave in the minds of her audience the lasting impression climate change will have on the planet if left unattended. In the very beginning of her article, Solnit begins by getting the audience to sympathize with sparrows that are affected by the company in question.…

    Imagine a barren wasteland, incapable of supporting the growth of any form of life and overpopulated with more people than it could sustain: this is the future of the earth. But, this is not just another scene from a sci-fi film of a population that has expedited their vital resources, but the reality for the “over 7 billion people” who populate the home we call earth (Hardaway 4). A considerable amount of blame is placed on global warming which is an “increase in the temperature of the lower atmosphere“; however, global warming has not garnered enough acceptance from some political officials and skeptics due to the term’s ambiguity (“global warming”). Global warming is often confused with climate change and although these terms sound alike…
