Naomi Klein’s 1999 No Logo book not only explores but also challenges the impact globalized brands and companies have had on culture. Under the chapter titled “Threats and Temps” (10) she illustrates her point in the specific area of jobs and what they represent. When we enter the final part of the book, this including chapter 16, Klein describes what is known as “Culture Jamming” where advertising is now used as a tool to convey political messages against either corporations or society itself.…

I am my 4-H club’s president. My club has 52 people in it with most of them being under the age of ten. Sometimes I regret running for president, but then at other times I feel it is a great leadership experience. The duties of a president are not only running the meetings and showing animals. It is about helping out the community, helping the younger members with their projects and teaching them how to be a better person and also teach them responsibility with taking care of their animals.…

issue, when it is framed by conglomerate corporations that provoke an economic and political agenda in their favor. The powerful impact corporations have on public knowledge is exemplified in Al Gore 's essay “The Climate Emergency”, as well as in Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway…

Environmental issues have been the talk of the town by many public figures recently, but it does not always seem to “stick” in the minds of the viewers. Both Pope Francis and Naomi Klein discuss the topic in great detail, but take different approaches in convincing their readers. Klein seems to evokes a great deal of negativity in her book, to the point where it questions the reader’s own actions and almost makes them feel that they are partially to blame for the current state of Earth. Pope…

Naomi Klein argues that what happened in Iraq, and is part of a broader trend globally, is in many ways the opposite of economic and human development. Explain what she means, provide examples from Iraq, and argue EITHER in support of her analysis, or against her analysis. The argument presented by Naomi Klein in her work, “The Shock Doctrine” is that the privatization of the government in the form of disaster capitalism, as seen after the Invasion of Iraq, is counter to economic growth and…

minute detail. As noted in the story Jinx by Aimee Bender, the two girls believe that they are in control and capable of everything, but yet they worry about the insignificant aspects in life, such as the way their body looks. In The Yellow Glove by Naomi Shihab Nye, the little girl has no control of what is happening in her life, and as her yellow glove gets swept away she is consumed by despair because she knows how much money gloves cost. As perceived in each of these stories, children see…

campaign, Idaho’s War on Wolves, they focus their attention on the recent wolf killings in their state and potential legalization of wolf hunting. Their position argues against wolf killing based from both an ethical and population-based standpoint. Ethically, they show how wolves have in fact been misunderstood by society to the point that they are being sought out and killed, which is in turn causing an unjustified decrease in the wolf population. Originally, wolves would be hunted for the…

wolves in the state of Michigan for pure sport, and many of the population oppose this. The Gray Wolves have been struggling for 50 years on the brink of extinction. There are now less than 700 wolves in Michigan. The Gray wolf and or subspecies of the gray wolf (the Timber Wolf) has been undertaking many infringements on it’s rights, struggling to stay on the endangered species list instead, being knocked down to just ‘threatened.’(“Michigan.”) After over dramatic stories of vicious wolves, the…

As the famous saying goes, “Bears would be bears”. Okay. That’s not a saying. But whether you like it not, no one would ever dare to stand toe-to-toe with a massive 7-footer, 500-lb, fanged, fury mammal. Even the bravest hunter would rattle in fear when a wild, hungry bear had its eyes fixed directly onto him while in ready-to-attack beast mode. Who would have thought that a fury brown grizzly would tear your apart for lunch? Freaky! But don’t worry folks. No matter how hungry and outrageous…

The Wolf of Wall Street may seem just as another ridiculous comedy film at first glance, however, as with art of all forms, it can be interpreted in drastically different ways. Although the film explicitly portrays how stockbrokers in Wall Street use manipulation to fill their own pockets, The Wolf of Wall Street splendidly conveys different “morals of the story” depending on the morality of the audience: “wolves” hunger for materialistic lifestyle are eager to become filthy rich like Jordan…
