Shark attacks still happen to this day. There’s nothing more terrifying than hearing a story in the news of a mighty, great white shark killing an innocent person. He mentions the backlash of Hollywood blockbusters such as “Jaws” and “Sharknado 3” that intensifies one’s fear. Sharks have evolved in our

Sharks, the scariest, biggest, baddest creatures! That's what we make them out to be, but are they really? The answer is no, we say that. We kill more of them than they kill of us, about 900,094 more. Sharks, being carnivores, are NOT natural predators of humans.

Sharks are vicious creatures and eat humans. Don’t go into the water if you see a shark nearby or they will come after you. These are a few of the many things you will hear from the television or even people you may know. Humans are not a part of the shark diet so it is highly unlikely that a shark would randomly go after a human. The media likes to make their shark stories more exciting by adding words like “aggressive” or “threatened.” There was a total of 4 deaths caused by sharks in 2014 which is a large contrast to the 11,417 sharks that are killed per hour by humans. sharks) need to be preserved and protected in order to preserve our oceans. Laws that are more strict should be implemented in order to achieve this goal.

Every Jaws fan knows the shark gets it in the end. What they do not know is that too many sharks have gotten it; and that has caused a rapid decline in the shark population over the past thirty years. Since the 1970's, sharks of the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico shores have declined eighty-five percent. Sharks are vital animal to our world's ecosystem, and if the decline is not controlled; we could be facing devastating problems in years to come. Information has been obtained from two books: The Shark Almanac by Thomas B. Allen and Sharks, An Introduction for the Amateur Naturalist by Sanford A. Moss. Sources also include a number of online references, among them BBC News, ENS News, The New York Times, and two online scientific

Arising over 350 million years ago, the shark species has been labeled as a human devourer. Now, with the increase in human population, the demand for shark meat, fins, and cartilage are at an all time high; therefore, the existence of the shark is becoming a concern (Budker 1971). Individuals are conditioned to think of sharks as a negative aspect to the environment, which is prolonging the effort to save shark species from becoming extinct. With that in mind, some private as well as national organizations have accepted the challenge of educating and informing people about the existence of the shark specie and its importance to the sea.

Whenever you go to the Fish and Chips shop, have you heard about “Flake”? Flakes are a type of shark. They have been killed just for us to eat. The price of them are also increasing. At least 100 million sharks are killed every year. In Eastern parts of Asia, Sharks were being culled for shark fin soup. Dragging out the sharks out of the ocean and cutting off their fins and throwing their dead body back into the ocean is unacceptable. How would you feel if we were dragged out of our home by a random person, got our arm cut off and got put back into our home again? I’m sure that we would all be horrified and terrified by this. It is said that Shark Fin Soup costs around $100 per bowl of soup. There are also some countries that have completely banned shark culling. They are Israel, Ecuador, Mexico, Egypt, Indonesia, Fiji and so on. It is very unfortunate that Australia isn’t a part of this. Sharks also help with ecosystems.

Over the past few weeks we have watched a few horror movies “Jaws, “The Others”, “Signs” and “Frankenstein” but today we are just focusing on these three movies: “Jaws”, “The Others” and “Signs”. “Frankenstein” was just a flat out boring movie because it was a movie that was black and white and it showed portrayed nothing about how it made the movie suspenseful and scary. “Jaws” was a movie that was made in 1975 which had nothing to scare people of this generation but at least they used appropriate techniques to make the movie suspenseful. “The Others was a movie that was made in 2001 and they did a excellent job of foreshadowing by stating the obvious at the beginning of the movie but the weird part was nobody got what they meant but with this said I don’t think that the movie had used better techniques than “Signs”, in “Signs” I think their techniques standed out the most primarily because of the special effects they used to make the movie jaw-dropping, blood curdling and eye-catching with this said I think the movie “Signs” did the best job in using the proper techniques to create suspense and fear in addition the director of the movie “Signs”, M. Night, Shyamalan, has been nominated for 2 Best Screenplay awards and 1 Best Director award for the movie “Signs” alone.

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s article “The Brutal Business of Shark Finning” reminds us that sharks play a key role in the ocean as both predators and scavengers.

“It’s not about having the absence of fear, it’s about having dominance over it” (Steve Maraboli). This quote reveals that dominance can provide strength to overcome adversity. Everybody has a fear that is holding them back, but it is the people who overcome those apprehensions who achieve success. For instance, in Beowulf, by anonymous, and The Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the characters looking for dominance are constantly dealing with hardships. Dominance is hard to earn, although easy to lose, even when you feel undefeatable.

Human beings have many fears ranging from the unique to the common fears of many man. There is steadily increase in people having fear of sharks as written in Sharks and People: Exploring Our Relationship with the Most Feared Fish in the Sea by Thomas P. Peschak, “The technical term for the fear of sharks is selachophobia or galeophobia. Studies by psychologists show that we are not born with fear of sharks or any other living creature, but that these fears are acquired during early childhood through the display of emotions of people in our immediate surroundings. In addition to these terrifying real-life events, the publication of the book Jaws by Peter Benchley in 1974 and the release of the Spielberg film in 1975 fanned the flames

With the increased frequency of shark attacks there’s been an increasing debate about the ethics and effectiveness of shark culling, polarising the population. I believe we as a nation have chosen the wrong path culling is not the option.

Shark fins are targets for fishermen because they not only have monetary value but there is a demand for this species within some cultures. The fins are used in a Chinese dish called shark fin soup which is a popular dish in this country that creates a status symbol for those who were able to consume it. Many fishermen practice shark finning primarily for the fins, although some fishermen can find use for the entire shark, most fishermen cut off the fins and discard the rest of the shark back into the depths. This is, honestly, a form of animal cruelty. The sharks do not die a peaceful death; they are unable to swim properly meaning they die from suffocation or blood loss. Shark fins go for about five-hundred dollars a pound, that’s what the fishermen see, the money value.
