One of the features they are known for being monkeywrenching which is a step beyond civil disobedience. Although various individual members may be active users of monkeywrenching, it is stated that they are neither advocates nor condemns monkeywrenching officially (Earth First! Journal). This might just be a way to make sure that their journal and website don’t come to be shut down, but when you view the definition of monkeywrenching it sounds like they are an advocate for it since largely all of their acts fall under the category. Monkeywrenching is ecotage, eco-defense, billboard thieves, desurveying, road restoration, tree spiking, etc (Earth First! Journal).

This makes the viewers notice what going behind the walls of a company, whether there is animal testing or pollution it will be seen as problematic. Since they might not be able to persuade the law to help them, then aim to overcome it through some sort of action. Thus, Earth First! Uses framing to help identify their problem and then the solution to the problem. Identify the perpetrators by name next target them (Earth First! Journal). This is dualism where they try to persuade people to believe their actions are right since they understand that the declared perpetrators as hurting the environment. In doing so cause it to where witnessing somebody that is not worthy since they act against their ideologies then it makes their direct action justified. As if the dehumanization of their target causes somebody to believe it be okay that they are just ending up acting as cruel as their

Though most groups are targeting the "higher-ups" in a business or production, many of the lower level workers are being harmed in their attempts.

The Queensland Theatre Company’s rendition of ‘The Wider Earth’ was a highly captivating piece of theatre, which recounted the scientific visionary, Charles Darwin’s voyage on the HMS beagle. Through the extensive manipulation of dramatic languages, in which ritualistic movement, characterisation, tension of relationship, and symbolism were all employed in order to achieve the company’s artistic director, Sam Strong’s aims to have “the cast beautifully transform the various historical and fictional characters into three dimensional human beings.”

Although “Unaccustomed Earth” focuses primarily on the effects of Ruma’s father on Ruma’s family, Jhumpa Lahiri also examines the hardships of letting go of those who you care for and moving on.

The research for this article was conducted within a framework of Framing theory. The theory was first put forward by a Canadian-American sociologist Erving Goffman. Media framing, to put it bluntly, is a term that points to a presence of a certain bias in any media outlets’ output. All choices made in a newsroom collectively form the frame through which media decides to show the world to the audiences. Everything matters: Covering one event and ignoring another, covering one event more than the other, deciding what words to use to cover an event, what photographs or video clips to include, whom to give a voice, etc. At the same time, framing theory goes far beyond newsroom policies. Framing is not necessarily a delibirate choice. Journalists themselves look at the world through frames: their education, upbringing, gender, ethnical background, knowledge of the issue, and so on. Audience members apply their own frames as well, not just to media content, but to everything they hear and see.

Other regions of the world may have different connection to nature than we in the western modern world do. However, it is the objective of this paper is to demonstrate how humans of the modern western world are connected to the natural world around us through the interpretation of a photograph. In this paper, through
Mass media is an ever-growing field where millions of people are connected at a constant basis. With that being said opinions and viewpoints are established on a daily basis through the media society reads. Many of these news media sources can be persuasive and have an influence on individual’s opinions. This concept is called framing. While it is related to the concept of agenda setting, framing focuses more on the issue at hand rather than on a particular topic. Framing is an important topic because of its major influence over the choices people make and how they process information. “Goffman stated that there are two distinctions within primary frameworks which are natural and social. Both play the role of helping individuals interpret
