  • Ignorant Individuals Impact Earth In Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

    703 Words  | 3 Pages

    Ignorant Individuals Impact Earth Why is it that people don’t care about nature anymore? Nowadays, people are so interested and caught up in their daily lives that they don’t notice the basic beauty of nature around them. Because of this, people now think that little events don’t mean big changes are occurring. Even though Bradbury’s dystopian novel warns readers about a society that doesn’t notice the basic elements of nature around them, our current culture has failed to pay attention, and his prediction has come to fruition, resulting in the thought that little things don’t relate to a bigger picture, such as global warming.

    Environment Change: A Rhetorical Analysis on Rush Limbaugh’s “The Environmental Mindset”. In Rush Limbaugh’s “The environmental mindset”, Limbaugh introduces us to a very conservative view on environment change and how we have little to no effect on our climate(Limbaugh). In Rush’s article, he writes in a way to persuade people such as right wing conservatives, upper-middle class caucasian males, and politicians that can reinforce his notions. He solely relies on logos throughout the article, using no other credible sources other than himself with ethos and scarcely appealing to emotions in pathos.

In the progressive era there were many problems that we had to deal with like unsanitary meat, child labor, and voting rights for women.

Many people think that everything is changing but that is not always the case though. The unit text reinforces the idea that people have a bigger impact on the environment, however the people can also be impacted by what they are doing to the environment.

  • Literature Review Environmental Issues

    Review of Literature Environmental issues began to be discussed and debated only towards the end of the 20th century. Since then significant amount of literature has been penned down raising awareness about issues of pollution, deforestation, animal rights and several others however it has failed to result in major changes, ideas or even actions to save the environment. Several species of animals have become extinct; pollution level is at an all-time high, global warming is leading to severe climate changes all across the globe but these problems do not seem to alarm the decision makers. Leydier & Martin (2013) also states that, “despite the increasing expression of concern in political and media debates about issues such as climate change, pollution and threats to biodiversity, “political ecology” (operating at the confluence of scientific developments, political engagement and ethical debates) is still trying to find its bearings” (p.7). It is quite evident that environmental issues are not treated in equivalence to political, economic, social or even religious issues.
