How Does Jurassic Park Control Over Nature

Jurassic Park is dealing with a very sensitive issue that involves every person on the planet because everybody has genes.  It deals with genetic engineering and the repercussions of the actions that scientists take.

So what killed the dinosaurs? Without having any background education in science it is hard for the general public to comprehend such matters and they rely on the knowledge of the scientists in this field. Although there has been much research on the subject nobody has come up with a conclusive answer. And we are left to read the countless articles, all having their own opinions as to the mass extinction. One such theory is that a shift in the solar system could have caused the mass destruction. According to an article published in Nature magazine,

Allan Grant, the main protagonist in the book, is hired by Hammond to prepare them for the dangerous life in Jurassic park. When the computer that controls the cloning of the dinosaurs crashes without anyone in the park knowing about it, the dinosaurs were accidently set free. Hammond then invites his family and friends to see what he has been building for many years. When the dinosaurs attacked them they were in shock because the lizards have previously killed the babies living in Costa Rica. When Grant finds out about this attack, he frantically heard about it and immediate runs and tries to help and save everyone. Grant is a scientist who knows everything there is to be known about the history of dinosaurs. The dinosaurs got loose when he starts to invest millions of dollars and many years into the project of cloning these manifested dinosaurs. His love of ancient creatures seems sincere to many people that met Hammond for the first time because he used his determination to turn his ideas to a major profit. He let greed take over life. Later in the book when Hammond claims to have created dinosaurs for children of the world but he states that only the rich could come to the park. All

Dinosaurs ruled the earth for over 65 million years and thankfully for the human race, they became extinct. Ultimately, only a major catastrophe could completely wipe out an entire species, let alone an entity of dinosaurs and the debacle on the causes of dinosaur extinction have flooded the minds of paleontologists for centuries. Geologist and zoologist Stephen Jay Gould published “Sex, Drugs, Disasters, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs,” to compare scientific and speculative causes of dinosaur decimation. Personally, I found this passage very informational and enjoyed reading it. Gould provides three theories that capture the reader’s curiosity, allowing room for pondering in one’s mind.

Jurassic Park is an American authorization centered on a catastrophic endeavour to create theme park of emulated dinosaurs who escapes imprisonment and riot on the human characters. In 1990, Universal Studios bought the rights of the novel, written by Michael Crichton, followed by the release of the movie adaption in 1993. Science versus ethics, the main theme of the film, is very polemical and not commonly argued by the media, making the film even more appealing. Steven Spielberg successfully creates a cliff hanger making the viewer entertain and thrilled. To create the unendurable suspense, Steven Spielberg has used different type of shots and angles, colours and light and acting, which all contributed to build the tension in the movie.

    "The world was made for man to conquer and rule, and under human rule it was meant to become a paradise" (Ishmael 82). Much like this evolutionary mythological theory, the movie Jurassic Park tells a tale of man's attempt to rule over nature. Through the movie's description and imagery, the viewer perceives the arrogance of humans to control nature, and the consequences and failures of this flawed intention. John Hammond, park creator, uses state of the art technology and ideas to recover dinosaur DNA, fill in missing gene caps, and breed the previously extinct animals to exploit his accomplishment. This process is set into motion without regard to the ethics behind the research, and

What first drew me to Jurassic Park was hearing about how well the effects had stood the test of time, and how incredibly intricate the details were. When I finally watched it, however, my favorite part wasn't even the dinosaurs, but the debate on respecting nature, the character development, and each person’s view on how much control humanity has over the world around it.

Jurassic Park was created by rich men and visionary scientists. The base thought for the park itself is unbelievable and achievable all together in one crazy idea. The park itself is off the coast of Costa Rica, on an island called Isla Nublar. We are able to see that in just a few short years, with the money and drive from InGen and its founder, John Hammond, Dr. Henry Wu, chief geneticist, is able to create and oversee living, breathing dinosaurs for a zoological theme par. When John Hammond approached Dr. Wu, he wanted him to do something so cutting edge; that nothing of its kind has been done before. The author goes so far in the introduction of the novel to state that the bioengineering firms have no regulation, no one looking over their shoulder to oversee their work. There is no one to tell them that they shouldn’t be playing god and basically they were in the an environment where, when it came to what was ethical and what wasn’t, no one was there to say. No one was around to say should they create the genetically engineered dinosaurs in the first place. These dinosaurs already had their spotlight on the planet, and by bringing them into an era that no one fully understood them was an accident waiting to happen. When you introduce a new species into a new habitat, there are chances

According to Dictionary.com science fiction film is defined as a “genre that uses speculative, fictional science-based depictions of phenomena that are not fully accepted by mainstream science, such as extraterrestrial lifeforms, alien worlds, extrasensory perception and time travel, along with futuristic elements such as spacecraft, robots and much more” (Dictionary). Scientific fiction films tell the story of scientific creations and how they impact society. As the creations are made, the films show the destructions of each creation and where things go wrong with each product that is made. “The film, Jurassic Park was released in 1993 after the release of the book in 1990 (BookRags). The film is about a group of people who were chosen to tour an island themed park that is populated by dinosaurs. In the film are are several themes which make the film as powerful as it is today. Science fiction is growing each day. This film connect to the future as it describes how much of an impact it has on the world today. Jurassic Park is an excellent film in which in displays power in several characters, how these characters are trustworthy people, and how science fiction relates to society today.

Because dinosaurs are animals that lived millions of years ago, we are entirely dependent on the fossils that they have left behind for any understanding that we hope to gain. As any paleontologist will tell you, fossil hunting is difficult. There are no certainties, no guarantees. A certain amount of luck is as valuable as any scientific knowledge.

The book tells that the storm knocks out all the power to the island and to all the electrical gates. This is a major problem for the scientists. This puts their safety in jeopardy. There is now nothing protecting the people from the dinosaurs because there is no power going through the electric fences. This is when all hell breaks loose. The dinosaurs realize that they are not being restrained any more and break loose. They are roaming about the island while the scientists scramble to get the power back on through a generator. During all the chaos the dinosaurs have already taken out five people out of the team of ten.

Today, our society is changing so fast that we barely even notice it’s happening. Soon enough, our society will be able to do what the scientists in Jurassic Park did, and create copies of our “once exist” giants. But while science and technology evolves, we should be the ones to bring up the question not “if we can,’ but rather, “should we?” Dinosaurs are ravenous and dangerous creatures that could tear us apart into pieces, but if properly contained, could be a magnificent sight for many to view. Nature removed the dinosaurs from our planet by selection, but we can use our superior intelligence to play god through biological manipulation. In an article by Thomas Sumner and Bjorn Carey, they discuss the ethics of reviving dead species such as the ones in Jurassic Park, and denote that the technology is in our near future. “Twenty years after the release of Jurassic Park, the dream of bringing back the dinosaurs remains science fiction. But scientists predict that within 15 years they will be able to revive some more recently extinct species, such as the dodo or the passenger pigeon, raising the question of whether or not they should – just because they can” (Sumner and Carey).

John Hammond developed Jurassic park to house his genetically engineered dinosaurs. The billionaire creates a paradise in Isla Nublar Island in Costa Rica. InGen engineering company successfully cloned different types of dinosaurs from simple strands of DNA. Hammond assures his team of experts that the park is safe haven and paradise, “it’s guaranteed to drive children out of

One of the biggest pictures that are against genetic engineering is that humans are not supposed to play the role of God. DNA is a unique thing to every person. Bioengineering itself involves the very technical aspects of modification, and the enhancement of stem cells or DNA and this process can change the human structure. “The progress of civilization has been having been largely dependent upon the out ‘interference with nature’.”(Encyclopedia of Applied Plant Sciences).
