provide a small(er) scale representation of the United States, each state represents the whole in some way or another, however, it is fair to say that the remoteness of Bitterroot serves almost like a control group for the rest of the country. As Diamond puts it, “Bitterroot valley presents a microcosm of the environmental problems plaguing the rest of the United States: Increasing population… increasing scarcity and decreasing quality of water… poor air quality… deforestation…”, to name a few.…

The stories of The Lorax, By Dr. Seuss, and Easter’s End, by Jared Diamond, both touch on a very controversial point: The destruction of our natural world bringing extinction of life. Both authors take their own perspectives in going about this topic. Suess, using a fantasy world of the future, speaks about pollution and the destruction of forests, Whereas Diamond gives a brief history of Easter Island and how its biodiversity declined and perished. Each author equates the end of their stories…

Two main kinds of modern realism explored in Canada are that which is rural and said to be pioneered by Grove, and that which is urban and claimed to be pioneered by Callaghan. That being said, Sime is a clear contender for pioneering urban realism, because she was practicing it before Callaghan in 1919. The Short story, “Munitions!”, focuses on urban lifestyle, particularly for women, during World War I. This type of realism is largely in contrast with that of Laurence’s and Ross’ works which…

Jared Diamond explores the history of the world from a unique view. An ecologist and evolutionary biologist himself, he was not particularly trained to examine the world in the way an anthropologist would. This book, Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Society, delves into the known world and societies within it, at least as of 1997. Diamond wanted to uncover why history unfolded differently on the different continents over the last 13 thousand years, but more importantly he wanted to…

they expect her to make it in time when in her previous location there wasn’t a warp pad to be seen for miles! She had to hunt one down! Hopefully discipline for her tardiness and disorderly conduct won’t be too severe…? Consequently, if it wasn’t a diamond who would dole out punishment then it was gonna be the particularly snappy quartz soldier she had bumped into that would. The soldier had turned, punching Hematite’s shoulder from behind. “Hey! Watch where you’re going!” she barked in the…

aim of our production was to use Brechtian performance methods to highlight the issues of gender and power, drawing inspiration from ‘The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui’ whilst using 1950’s gender tropes as a context. According to Elin Diamond (Diamond 1988) gender is made up of the ‘words, gestures appearances, ideas and behaviour that dominant culture understands as indices of feminine/masculine identity’. Our performance utilised gender normative elements to convey how these very…

There is a wide range of ways that contamination can hurt nature, from the atomic blasts releasing dangerous chemicals into the air to the venomous pesticides showered on plants that executes vegetation and sickens dairy cattle.

Globalization plays a major role in the child labour industry. Child labour has been around for thousands of years and is only now being recognised by many groups as an issue. The reason it was not recognized earlier depends mainly on the lack of education over this matter in more developed countries. Child labour happens today to provide cheap labour to companies who are usually outsourcing from a more developed country. The companies do this because they are looking for a cheaper product than…
