“It’s better to walk alone than with a crowd going in the wrong direction.” George Orwell is the writer of the story that i’ll be talking about in this essay. He had an early military career. He will write one of the most famous novels called 1984. Where he talked about the future where he predicted that large tv cameras i'll follow people and you will have no privacy. This was his critique on communism. He was born in colonial India, was educated in England, and then joined the inequities of imperialism. After five years in the police force as an officer he then wrote Shooting an Elephant. Orwell seemed to have a talent for immersing himself in difficult situations and then writing about them with extraordinary insight. This essay is

“Unanticipated choices one is forced to make can have long-lasting effects” (Crask). George Orwell was the top novelist of the 20th century. In this personal narrative, he describes a dark experience that he often uses to describe the events of his life. Through this essay, he creates a personal narrative that allows a sad story to be enraged between the messages that are involved creating into the messages of this story.

The article I chose to read talked about a new strategy to track elephant poaching in Africa. The mass killings have become so frequent in the past years that only 40,000 of the African elephant population is left. Furthermore, the high demands for elephant ivory are doing little to help. Researchers believe that by using DNA from the tusks of previously poached elephants, they can pin point exactly where the illicit acts are happening. According to the new study, most of the killing sprees occurred around the central and southeastern parts of Africa. Even people who were aware of the happenings did not know the extremity of the outcomes and were essentially unknowing of how many crimes went unnoticed. Interpol hopes that the new evidence will

“Shooting an Elephant” by George Orwell is a story about his time as a police officer working for the British Empire in Burma. Orwell discusses his clear disapproval of the European intrusion into the country of Burma. Orwell mentions that he struggled with the fact that he empathized with the Burmese against their oppressors, yet he found himself stuck between hating the Empire and the disdain he felt towards the people he was supposed to protect. Until finally, something happened that allowed him to get a certain level of perspective on British colonialism imperialism he did not have before; he received a call that an elephant had gone “must” and his help was required. After some time tracking down the animal and talking to the locals, Orwell found the elephant, which appeared to have calmed down. He was now lost in what to do, his moral compass telling him to not shoot and the “crowd of yellow faces” looking to him for the strength of the Empire he represented to shoot. In the end, he decided to give into the influence of the crowd of faces and became the power the Empire represented by killing the elephant. By doing so he had been forced to go against his moral compass in favor of an overwhelming British rule and a large number of Burmese who stood behind him watching.

In the world today, the global ivory trade is one of the most profitable and complex areas of poaching. The range and impact of the ivory trade is vast and devastating as it encompasses many countries in Africa, Asia, and even the United States. Thousands of elephants are being threatened and killed everyday for their tusks to be sold and be used for ornaments and carvings. While the issue may seem easy to understand, beneath the surface is a crisis that extends to many spectrums such as cultural, social, political, and economic areas. The ivory trade raises ethical issues on whether it is morally correct for humans to slaughter elephants for their tusk to be sold for commercial purposes. Therefore, the global ivory trade is an important

Elephants were used to scare other people away. Recent studies have found that elephants had a helpful part when it comes to the army because of their size and speed. In this article Lockie discuss their research. Researchers found this, “War elephants were usually deployed in the center of the line, where the imposing beasts would charge at up to 20 mph toward the enemy. They were also used to carry heavy materials across difficult terrain before tanks and helicopters were an option,” (Lockie, 2015). Researchers also found,

People all over Africa, hunt elephants for a living, for meat, trading, and just for show. They trade ivory, which is the substance of a tusk, mainly from elephants. Sudan has became a area where Africa’s ivory trade is. In addition, poachers kill the elephants for mainly their ivory. Dontego, a former poacher, has killed many elephants, but he killed them for the meat, so he could feed his family. Also, Dontego was a poacher until people criticized him, then he felt guilty and helped protect elephants. Moreover, poachers kill elephants up to 6,000 - 12,000 a year for basically the ivory, so Dontego knows where to go and what poachers use, so he can help stop poachers. The ivory trade is how it sounds, a group of poachers meet up, maybe even

First, the passage claims that elephants have awareness about their death time. It stands to reason that old elephants leave their herds to live lonely along sites near water. In addition, a large number of elderly elephants found in sites around water illustrates this claims. Nevertheless, the lecture rejects this idea, highlighting the fact that when elephants become old, they lose their ability to shew hard materials. For this reason, they leave their herd to seek soft vegetables to eat, and because soft materials are often found near water, they choose sites which are near water to live. That is why a large number of elephant bones have been found in such places.

The Seattle team received the ivory from Kilindi, and the sheer of amount of ivory means that it must have been distributed by organized crime networks. Because the ivory is professionally smuggled, there is no evidence to point to where the ivory comes from. Wasser knew that they needed to find out where this ivory was being poached, so he created contacts that would send him the dung of elephants. This gave them DNA of different elephant populations which they could compare to the ivory, and allowed him to discover the two places where they

Cultural and religious practices have had a significant impact on the decline of the African elephant population from the 1800’s until today due to large demand for the production of cultural, religious, and decorative pieces made from the ivory tusks.1 These pieces symbolizes past forefathers. 1 The impact the United States had on the decline of the elephant population was mainly back in the early 1900’s when ivory was used in the production of many everyday goods, however in present day and over the last few decades the ivory is no longer sold on the primary market in the United States due to the ban of ivory in most countries around the globe.1 In present day, China is the leader in the ivory industry where the selling of ivory is actually

In this lesson we watched a video about elephant slaughter and how people sale the Ivory illegally, and for a high price. Ivory is not only beautiful in its own nature but it is very expensive.
