Eva Resnick-Day and her question about the fossil fuel industry was enough to make Hillary Clinton lose her calm at her campaign in New York (Phillip). It was not the first time Eva had done this, and it was not the first time her group was known for this. Eva belongs to a group known as Greenpeace, an environmental awareness group with deep ties in past and current issues. In the past, it had focused on whaling and nuclear efforts, but with stricter regulations in place and in order to stay relevant, Greenpeace has moved onto current issues, such as Golden Rice in India. However, the reasoning and effects of this issue has caused widespread controversy. Greenpeace’s protest on Golden Rice is causing it to lose support as it strays from their original goal of environmental protest into popular pseudoscience. Greenpeace found its beginnings in the Cold war as the “Don’t Make a Wave Committee,” a group of people who worked together in the basement of a church to…

meat the way they did after the world wars. 6. How should these claims be balanced against world opinion - which is generally very supportive of the protection of whales? I believe that if it is a swift process of making sure the ban sticks then we can shift the world opinion more favorably in the direction of Japan. Because of documentaries like “The Cove” and a recent uprising of interest in whaling, Japan has been facing backlash, but they are so much more than their whaling. I also…

First, we can see that in the video “Meet Liam”, Apple is trying to influence our consuming habits by showing us that they care about the environment. To do so, they explain that they created a robot, Liam, which purpose is to dismantle old Apple cellphone so they can reuse some parts and effectively recycle the parts they can’t reuse, because ressources are not unlimited. For Greenpeace, they…

The power of emotion: compassion In Marina Keegan’s essay, Why We Care About Whales, Marina claims on how humans value the life of humans and the life of non-human animals. The essay starts with a social occurrence of emerging beached whales. A natural force that is created by the movement of both the moon and the Earth push whales to the beach. While giving a detailed, vivid explanation of how beached whales die, Marina maximizes the sadness and lamentation of whales’ deaths. Furthermore, she…

The Japanese and Norwegian violation of the International Whaling Commission’s (IWC) moratorium on whaling are two distinct issues in my mind. In 1986 the IWC imposed a moratorium on whaling (IWC. n.d.) in order to protect the worldwide population of whales. I contend that the protection of whales, or any other species which are in danger of extinction is a positive and necessary step, but the protection of thriving species is unnecessary. Norway only allows whaling of minke whales…

I most certainly do not agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position on whaling. Their position on the issue is the very definition of ridiculous. They want to argue that their culture is being violated by the ban, that they have a cultural right to kill creatures that occupy a crucial part at the top of our global aquatic ecosystem. They argue that their villages that still whale have a cultural right to exist. The IMF and the world bank make much larger demands on developing economies,…

The Language of Activism: A Rhetorical Analysis on the Advertisement of Greenpeace Stressing the importance of media for social movements has long become a cliché now. Particularly in the contemporary society, where approximately three billion people worldwide have access to the Internet (Internet Live Stats, 2014), and 58 percent of adult Americans use social networking services (Duggan, Ellison, Lampe, Lenhart, & Madden, 2015), the effective utilization of media is the key to success of a…
