Field Trip Reflection

741 Words3 Pages

During the field trip, which was held Thursday, February 22, I have made a lot of realizations. The day started off as we boarded the bus to head to Thronateeska Heritage Center, an extraordinary planetarium filled with tons of science. When we arrived, we viewed the Oasis In Space movie, which was about the secrets of life in our solar system and our universe. I believe there is life somewhere in the universe - but not in our solar system. It is so rare for water formation, the right temperature, and the precise distance from the sun - everything has to form exactly for life to begin. Maybe the Earth is a rare “exhibit,” but since the universe is so vast and large, there should be something out there with the right conditions to form life. But since it is so unknown and tremendous - there is no way to know the answer to the question - is there life in our solar system and our universe? But if there is …show more content…

It showed the horror of plastic, BPA, litter, and human activity. Litter and plastic we have thrown out carelessly are lodging into the fish and birds of our world - slowly killing them.

The movie was a real eye-opener and wanted me to take action. It is so tragic and horrible that us humans cannot take care of our Earth - the only known planet to seek life. I wish people could see that and not take Earth for granted - with all the litter and garbage pollution, we are causing the Earth to slowly die and all of the other magnificent animals. Small little things can impact a lot - so from now on, I plan to stop taking bags from grocery stores, try not to litter, and recycle

If this world was so perfect like some people have come to believe, then why is society killing it off? One third of the natural world has been killed off by humans in the past three decades.

    It brought in great interviews, whether they were that of townspeople or official representatives, the interviews were solid and differed enough to make each one stand on it's own. The filmmakers found a way to follow the narrative with it's statistics and interviews blending in a way to keep my attention without me wanting to shoot myself in the face due to boredom, which is great. The way ethos, pathos, and logos weaved together for the end product was certainly admirable. I wasn't concerned with the issue at all when going into the interview, but if I'm going to be honest, I still don’t really care. I understand the issues and what they're doing to both the world and it's inhabitants, but I think bottled anything has become so integrated into society.

    Nowadays debris is an integral part of humanity life. Mankind thinks about how to make the product easier and cheaper to use, but nobody cares what happens with waste after it was used.

The worst thing is that from such attitude other living beings are dying. Millions of animals and birds cannot withstand such environmental changes; their populations become smaller and, eventually, disappear altogether from the face of the earth.

    The Revenant is a splendid and inspiring story that does not give a minute to withdraw eyes while the film is playing. This movie presents drastically new meaning to man-versus-nature drama, to a greater extent, because of the brilliant acting performance of Leonardo DiCaprio. The Revenant was directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu who, after the majestic success of Birdman in 2014 found an inspiration in the less civilized area, specifically, North America of the 1820s. The shooting took place in rough, freezing conditions and, what is more, most productions shoot for twelve hours a day minimum. Iñárritu and director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki were forced to shoot in a more fractured manner due to the creative choices made, notably shooting

    As much as we may want to know what lies beyond our earth, there are bigger issues that our government must address. More people are affected by poverty than by space. The government must focus their resources and efforts to one problem at a time, and with a third of the UK living under the ‘poverty line’ more money should be spent helping the poor, rather than on space research. If the government doesn 't handle the economic crisis with care, we will all end up poor – but to treat the situation properly requires more funding.
