small object of "Just add water"

In the film "Just Add Water" Nora represents the symbol of hope. When Ray found out about his wife's affair with his brother, when his car was on fire or Edward losing his virginity, Ray always looks at the tin box. The tin box has pictures and memorabilia of Nora. Ray goes to the Rite Value supermarket because she gives him hope. He forgets about the problems that is happening in Trona and in his life.

Animalcules and Other Little Subjects--Mark Smith

In the journal article "Animalcules and Other Little Subjects" by Mark Smith, reminds of the small object, LARGE object essay. Like a scientist or someone who is a forensic science major, we have to look in the bigger picture, the underlying theme, the meaning behind something. Forensic scientists have to look into the crime scene deeper. They have ask themselves questions and build possible scenarios. Smith talks about using a microscope, it makes the obvious not what it seems.
When you think about it, in the film "Just Add Water" why do you need technology to fix our problems when we can think of something on our own that does not hurt the environment.

George Carlin- Saving the Planet

When George Carlin does his comedic acts, he is humorous in a logical way. He reminds me of the John Daily show that makes fun of politics or what is going on in the world. He explains how the people are saving the planet for ourselves. The earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and us humans have been on this planet for about two thousand years. Without the environment, we don't have to worry about anything. He basically believes that since the earth has gone through incredible changes and that it will always survive. As people, we might be extinct

What are the similarities in Twelfth Night and Just Add Water?

In the comedic play Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare and in the film "Just Add Water" has several similarities. When I compare the two sources, the connections do not click in my head automatically.
In the film "Just Add Water", there is alot of craziness going on all at once. First we have the drug dealers who run a meth lab and the town that eventually is ganged up on by the people who live in Trona. There are two love triangles in the film. The first one is between Nora and Ray who is married. We also learn that Charlene and Ray's brother Mike had an affair twenty years before Edward was born.
In the play Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare there is alot of craziness going on all at once. The town Illyria is just pure crazy and delusion. They drink wine and listen to alot of music. Maria fooled Malivio by sending him a forge letter written by Olivia. The real trouble maker is actually Maria because she made it seem like Malivio was crazy.

How We Evolve

In the journal article "How We Evolve" Benjamin Pelan talks about how humans only care about themselves. He believes that we all become extinct and not able to adapt to the change of the environment that is constantly is changing. We are doing our best to live a happy, joyous life while it lasts. We evolved mentally and physically. We became more knowledgeable about our surroundings and how we should treat others. There are scientists and researchers who study evolution. Some believe it was G-d who put us in this planet Earth. Others believe the science behind evolution. Scientists question evolution because there is lack of evidence.
The article also discusses how we can fix the Earth environmentally. Our society only cares about ourselves and not realize that we can be hurting the lives and well being of future generations. We are used to natural disasters but there are catastrophes everyday. We need to know when to be ready when something we are not familiar too happens.

The Ethics of Climate Change- John Broome

In the journal article "The Ethics of Climate Change" by John Broome, he discusses how our society today needs to take responsibility for tomorrow. We know about the causes and effects of climate change, but it is much more difficult to figure out what we should do about it now and how ethically we need to think and react. It is our responsibility to start to change our ways for the well being of future generations.
There has been a slow increase in natural disasters. Major earthquakes have rocked the planet, it seems that after the first one they have continued because of changes in the Earth’s crust. Recently, a volcano in Iceland erupted which caused havoc for travelers. The increase in global temperatures is responsible for glaciers melting, unusual floods and dangerous weather such as tornadoes and hurricanes. Global warming is very much responsible for climate change and we are seeing these obvious concerns.
When Broome talks about the money market, he is talking about how people have a surplus of goods. “In going about our daily lives, each of us causes greenhouse gases to be emitted. Driving a car, using electric power, buying anything whose manufacture or transport consumes energy- all those activities generate greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change” (Broome, 12). As a society, we indulge ourselves with things we do not need and we don’t think twice whether or not we are hurting our planet. It is time to just say no.
Broome talks about the ethical economics of our generations to reduce greenhouse gases. The wealthy should consider the excess use of fancy cars and things but can we just blame the rich or should we all do our part? Some think that the cost to be more efficient with our energy is too expensive, changing light bulbs, insulating our homes, driving hybrid cars, eating less meat and using less paper. If it is done now it will save money for the future. The problem is that people do not care about the people of the far away future. They only care for the people in the present or their grandchildren. Why should I deny myself now for things that may happen one hundred years from now?
In the film “Just Add Water”, the fictitious town of Trona is taken over by drug dealers. All the water in the town dries up and nothing can grow. When the people decide to take control and get rid of the drug dealers, it miraculously rains. Even though this film is not about climate change, it’s symbolic of the will of people and how change can be achieved.
As a society, we need to start to care about the future. In the Hanes commercial, two guys are walking in the mall wearing a sweatshirt, shirt, pants and socks. One guy is wearing Hanes brand that is ecologically earth-friendly. The other guy is presumably wearing “American Apparel-like” brand, which is not environmentally friendly. The children are making sad faces and dirty looks at the guy not wearing Hanes. He becomes uncomfortable. The children recognize which brands are safe for the environment. Our children have learned to be responsible from their parents, it is time for us to ethically do the right thing and act on what we know is right for generations one hundred years from now.

Creative destruction

In the journal article "Big Foot" by Michael Specter, he puts in John Elkington's claim that “We are in an era of creative destruction." I agree with this claim. We are advancing technology everyday because our society is fast paced and wants to be in the "latest fashion." Our society does not care or realize that our planes are polluting the air, our cars are hurting the environment. All that matters to them is that they work.
As a consumer, I feel like it is our fault that global warming exists. Our society only cares about themselves and not recognize that we are hurting the future generation. Yes, companies are improving and making natural products that are saving our environment and planet Earth.
