This Change Everything By Narrator Klein

the Climate,” where she addresses the relationship between human activities and the climate change. Throughout the article Klein argues that people and carbon fuels do not cause climate problems. In her opinion, the issue is due to an arrangement between the people and the materials that pollute the earth. Klein argues that capitalism leads to finding resources and exploit them, which lead to climate change. Klein believes that this capitalist agenda is a habit that now we are used to, but she thinks that we can change if we decide to take the following steps: 1- reviving and reinventing the public sphere, 2- Remembering how to plan, 3- Reigning in corporations, 4- relocalizing production, 5- Ending the cult of shopping, and 6- Taxing the rich and Filthy. In the end, Klein claim that responding to climate change would necessitate us from to break a number of capitalist rules, which need to be done urgently (Klein, para

The “Rise of ecology” was a very interesting and mind refreshing documentary film depicting the 10 different disasters that have devastated our planet. This documentary was a good teachable moment for us to take the necessary measure to ensure the safety of the citizens and the planet. The film also emphasized that we should minimize the amount to pollution that we release in to our atmosphere. We see that its always the people who suffer at the hands of major corporations who are just hungry for profits. The film mentions that these major corporations take the consequences of catastrophic events lightly. They do everything they can to increase the profits even at the expense of their own workers. The movie “Pandora” which I recently watched shares a lot of similarities to the documentary film “Rise of ecology” in a way that took me by a surprise. The movie tells a story of how human error came to cause the malfunction of a nuclear power plant causing the nation to go in to panic mode. The movie starts in an interesting way, a flashback where the main character and his friends were just children making assumptions of what the new mysterious development in their town was all about. Some of the kids responded by saying that the nuclear reactor plant was a rice cooker, another a robot and finally the little girl responded by saying that her teacher told her that “it was a box and that if it was open they would all be in trouble”.

Temperatures are reaching a new high, snow and rainfall patterns are shifting, and more extreme climate events, such as drought, flooding, are taking place. It is not a forecast anymore; greenhouse gases are intensifying the global warming. In 2013, 81.2% of the energy consumption in the world are produced by fossil fuel (International Energy Agency). Could you imagine how much greenhouse gases are produced? Ever since 1980s, scientist has found that the emission of the greenhouse gases is the major factor contributes to the global warming, which intensify the climate change that the human civilization may collapse one day. In the book This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate, the author Naomi Klein describes that we are headed toward a catastrophic levels of warming. She suggests that the solution to climate change, in short, is to fight for a change in the economic model of capitalism and move towards a low-carbon economy. Making this adjustments will affect every aspects of our life--from how the energy generate, what we consume, and the technologies we use. “Change of this magnitude creates risks but also opportunities. There will be both winners and losers as the world moves towards a low-carbon economy (**).” One of the important aspects which many people care about is the impact of climate change policy on employment. Does the movement improve the employment? Klein suggests that climate change policy has a huge

In his esteemed novel, “Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement in the World Came into Being and Why No One Saw It Coming,” Paul Hawken inspires with a call to environmental attention. As a both writer and entrepreneur dedicated to our world’s ecosystems, Hawken seems to understand the impact we have created on our planet. Despite this, he also appreciates the human capacity to create an equal impact on the other end, and make positive progress. He defines this as the “Movement,” being an assembly of environmentally-minded groups and NGO’s coming together to save the dying ecosystems of the planet. Although Hawken’s optimism should be admired, his outlook seems slightly quixotic.

In the novel This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate, author Naomi Klein argues that climate change is an inevitable crisis leading toward disaster. She discusses the urgent need to shift towards renewable energy and the need to move away from a "savagely unjust economic system,” that has led our economy towards to extractivism(15).

One of the current disasters that everyone doesn’t realize is the pollutions within our waters, it is such a vital things in our lives, yet the business don’t care about the future’s wellbeing. Thus they are allowed to do whatever they want because the earth believes that our Economy is much greater than our environment. I believe that the Gold King mine was the biggest disasters within the United States , because how much it affected the people that live near the area, and how fast it spread to other people that were not aware.

Modernism represents an optimistic view of human impact on the environment that has been the dominant viewpoint for the last 200 years. The knowledge that mankind holds the ability to control the environment heavily stresses why climate change is not such a problem to worry about. One of the core beliefs of the modernistic perspective is that people have no need to fear future environmental disaster because the next technological advancement that will prevent it is right around the corner. Furthermore, those who share this view do not include themselves in their image of the ecosystem, believing they are detached from it. Lastly, a laissez-faire approach is taken to environmental problems, focusing on progression through technology, stressing that as long as progress is made in this area all problems will be fixed. For a modernist, climate change is nothing to worry about. This may be a real situation, but it will be solved with advancements in technology before one’s way of life is changed. What people should be worrying about is ensuring a laissez faire approach to the market with sponsorship to new technologies. As a result of reusable energy technology already existing, modernists believe that the problem of climate change has been solved and without disrupting free market system these technologies will be further implemented. As long as there are people given the opportunity to innovate, some will focus on and ultimately solve the concern of climate change. The issue of

This documentary contains multiple components which spill over into other movements. One of which is the labor movement. The labor movement connects to the environmental movement because the labor movement sees particular aspects capitalism, particularly the relationship between the working class

First, he develops ethos by building credibility and trustworthiness. Not only is he an environmental activist, but an award winning actor as well. The notable man’s success helps appeal to audiences, because if people admire his work in the film industry, then they’ll potentially become more fascinated in his work dedicated to preserving biodiversity and supporting renewable energy. DiCaprio’s ethos is established by demonstrating that he hopes to make a difference. Additionally, he uses logical reasoning in order to appeal to logos. Quoting Abraham Lincoln in the beginning and end of his speech signifies how critical climate change is, because he makes an allusion to the Civil War. DiCaprio incorporates personal experiences into his speech as well, including impressions from some of the countries he visited. While comparing today’s struggle to those of the 19th century, the environmental activist brings to light the importance of protecting this planet. Moreover, an appeal to pathos is created by the use of vivid, emotional evidence. The audience feels sympathy and fear due to the detailed descriptions of the industrial pollution in China, the deforestation of Canada, the glaciers melting in Greenland, the flooding throughout India, and the droughts raging across the United

In the story “That Friday Everything Changed” by Annie Hart, Annie is trying to give people an idea, breaking tradition requires strength and bravery. The idea is shown by Alma Niles who is the main character in the story, and the whole story is expended on Alma’s discrimination. In Alma’s country school, after the health inspector came, he gave our school a big water bucket because of the water shortage in our school “And from that day on------ for all the boys------the most important thing that happened at school, even more important than softball, was who would get to carry the water,” (15) for the entire class. From that on, carrying the water seems like a privilege for boys. This a huge discrimination towards the female gender, and it

In our modern time, pollution has inherited roots almost everywhere on the planet, which is causing dramatic changes to the climate. I grew up in northern Iraq located in the Middle East. Here, people suffered from the unhealthy air emitted by oil industries in the area, which led many people to relocate elsewhere. Social activist and environmentalist would judge this as one of the many effects triggering for climate change. Klein is a Canadian Journalist, socialist and author to the book This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs the Climate. She argues, Capitalism are causing the change to the climate and in order to solve this issue, those people must work clean. According to Naomi Klein, she called the first part of her book “Bad Timing” because

Prominent environmentalist Naomi Klein wrote the book This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs the Climate which dives down in the how selfish human greed threatens the fight against climate change.

In Byron Willston’s essay, Epistemic Virtue and the Ecological Crisis, Williston examines Joel Kovel’s ideas on what it takes to get ahead in a capitalist society: “To succeed in the marketplace and to rise to the top, one needs a hard, cold, calculating mentality… None of these traits are at all correlated with ecological sensibility or caring.” (Kovel, quoted in Williston, p. 250;252). Kovel’s ideal person is one that is always looking for self-serving deeds. Kovel is implying that to be successful in life, one must put mortality as an afterthought to move ahead in a capitalist market.

In Annie Leonard’s animated video “The Story of Change,” she provides an overview of a new economy to make change in a whole world. Leonard discusses how bad policies and bad business practices are the cause of toxic products in the market. Moreover, she persuade that if the people want to live green; they have to take action to make changes to avoid destroying the environment. Leonard’s carefully crafted pathos appeals effectively persuade her audience of the individual citizens have to unite to work together and share a big idea in an addition to a moderate of logos appeals to convey the fact of the individual citizens can make change happen by taking action.

In contemporary society, the Obama administration has been dealing with a mass amount of activists groups protesting on various political and societal problems ranging from: racism and prejudice, women’s rights, poverty and welfare, capital punishment, violence, pollution, etc. Among these activist groups, as mentioned in the introduction, is the Deep Green Resistance. According to the Deep Green Resistances’ principles, contemporary society needs to reinstitute a new type of living style where nature and humans have a harmonious and humble relationship. Industrialized civilization, in their view, is the reason why life on earth has become destructive. Their task is to dismantle industrial civilization through resistance, that will create a better society for future generations. The resistance works to end the abuse from those with power, and those that are oppressed from social domination and subordination. They align themselves with radical feminists, who seek to eradicate women’s oppression and men’s view of women as only sexual objects. Through frontline activists, cultural workers, and the aboveground and belowground branches of resistance, this organization is letting their principles and goals for change known to others.
