Recommended: Impact of humans on the environment

The idea of human civilization coming to an end or having to survive a post -apocalyptic world is something a lot of people find interesting. Maybe because in some movies it seems like it could possibly happen. The ones with aliens although entertaining seem farfetched unless you are a conspiracy theory type, then all things are possible. In the movie Wall-E, even though it is a cartoon and the main characters are robots, the basis of the film is possible. Wall-E is a Pixar film from 2008. In it the main character Wall-E is a robot whose purpose is to gather up all the trash left on earth and compact it. He is all alone except for his friend a cockroach. In the beginning Wall-E just goes about his day doing his job and rummaging through the …show more content…

Wall-E even as a robot was able to survive because he was resourceful and understood the environment around him. Eve would also be able to survive because she is programmed to take care of herself. The Captain once he realizes what is going on has the tenacity to take charge and lead. Once the Axiom is back on Earth the captain explains what they must do to rebuild and what as the human race they must do to not just survive or flourish. During the whole movie Wall-E shows what a great friend he is to Eve and how much he cares for her. He gets attacked and chased by other robots, he even holds on the side of a ship as it goes soaring into space. All the find his friend. The movie also does a great job of showing the human emotions of sadness, loneliness, love and friendship even though it was done through the eyes of robots. It shows that everyone needs someone. The reason this movie is so good is because there is a lot of truth behind the story. To use cartoons as a platform of this subject makes it easier to showcase to a larger audience. Children will understand a lot of what goes on and adults see the big

    The Book of Revelation and the movie WALL-E serve as distinct forms of apocalyptic literature to expose the reality of the human condition beneath the surface. Even though there are blatant disconnects between the two, they both share common ground as criticisms of society and to warn humanity of its coming judgement. The Book of Revelation and WALL-E offer a frightening yet rectifiable future for humanity by remaining loyal to its “core values”.

    Love, itself, is a simple word, but no word can compare to its power. Love can lead people to their extremes and some people to their downfalls. In Feed by M.T Anderson, the story shadows two lovesick teenagers and their dreadful ending. The story commences as Titus and his friends go to the moon for spring break, where they meet Violet. Shortly after a day on the moon, Titus and his friends, including Violet, are hacked by the Coalition. After they depart back home from the hospital, Violet has a secret; a secret that it will change Titus and Violet’s life forever. Violet’s feed is malfunctioning; she is dying. All this information and Violet’s overload of her memories, bucket list made Titus part from her. In the end, Titus reunites with Violet as she dies. Titus then deliberates, “Everything Must Go” (Anderson 299). In Pixar’s Wall-E, the story set in a robotized and catastrophic earth, surveys a love story between Wall-E and Eva. Although the movie is without words, none are needed to see the love between Wall-E and Eve. Chasing Eva relentlessly, Wall-E embarks on the AXIOM. After the discovery of the plant, the captain of the AXIOM is mesmerized by the beauty of the earth. Inspired, the Captain faces a couple of battles against technology but maneuvers the ship back to earth. Even though the earth is lifeless and adulterated, they begin to nurture it with plants. In analyzing Feed by M.T Anderson and Pixar’s Wall-E, they both share some differences and similarities.

  • Mad TV: The Impact of Televised Violence on America

    1889 Words  | 4 Pages

    Everyone’s seen the classic cartoons. Wile E. Coyote chasing the Roadrunner around a bend, only the Roadrunner turns, but our comedic--and usually stupid--villain doesn’t. So, he falls from a height of what looks like about 500,000 feet, only to become a small puff of smoke at the bottom of the canyon. After all, if what happens to you when you fall from that height were to have happened to Mr. Coyote, that would have been a very short lived cartoon series. Maybe this example is an exaggeration, but the idea is the same: violence comes streaming into our homes every single day through our TVs not to be viewed, but to be devoured. It’s been proven that sex and violence sell. For those of us who can tell the difference between reality and fantasy, the effect of TV violence is miniscule. But for our children--who think when the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers come to the local shopping mall, that it’s the biggest event since Bert told Ernie he snores too loud--the violence seen on TV seems like a logical reaction to life’s problems. And that’s a problem within itself. The impact of televised violence on children is only a slice of the pie that is the problem with the endless stream of violent acts on TV.

  • Similarities Between Fahrenheit 451 And Wall-E

    1872 Words  | 4 Pages

    Even Aristotle commented on it in his book “Peri Psyches,” which was the first book on human behavior. Paraphrased, the basic idea of what he said was that people seek pleasure and avoid pain. Seeking security is a theme in both Fahrenheit 451 and WALL-E because people draw comfort from what is nice and easy, and in an attempt to make people more comfortable, both of their societies removed all things that were not. In WALL-E, the people had to do no work themselves. Robots were at their sides at all moments to do everything for them. Even the captain didn’t know what had happened to earth, asking when he saw images of Earth, where the sky or the green grass was. All troubles and worries were removed from their lives, allowing them easy and security in that comfort. In Fahrenheit 451, despite the fact that her husband was clearly distressed, Mildred was more focussed about speaking about what the wallscreens had played that day. When Montag told Mildred, distressed and traumatised, what had happened that day, saying “‘We burnt a old woman with her books’”. Mildred responded by saying that “‘It’s a good thing the rug’s washable’” and “‘I went to Helen’s last night’” (49-50), completely disregarding what he said and changing the subject. She went on to speak about what she’d been watching and how she enjoyed going to Helen’s house and watching here parlour, all the while ignoring her

In conclusion, humans being overly dependent on technology can be evident in both dramatic stories; this is because the authors overstress the extravagant yet possible outcome due to overuse of technology. “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity” (“Brainy Quotes” 1).

  • Impact of Cartoons on Children's Behavior

    1505 Words  | 4 Pages

    Television programs that are targeted towards children, such as cartoons, can affect children in both positive and negative ways. I examined a variety of cartoons on both commercial and public television to observe the content of children's programming and determine the effects, both positive and negative, that programs have on children. The cartoons contain a wide variety of subject matters that can influence children in many different ways. I found that the majority of cartoons choose to use violence and inappropriate subject matter to entertain children. These images and stories can have a tremendous negative impact on children because the violence is rewarded without consequences, is glorified, and idealized. Children look up to the characters that have a negative impact by distorting their views on conflict resolution. There are, however, cartoons that contain little or no violence and often try to incorporate educational lessons that concern values and morals that are important for children to learn, thus having a positive impact.

  • The Effects of Violence in Children Cartoons

    Most American's would agree that children watch a lot of TV. It's common to see a child sitting in front of the TV on a Saturday morning with their Coco Pebbles watching their favorite superhero. This sounds harmless enough. However, many parents and teachers across the country are worried about the cartoons their children are watching. They feel that the cartoons have become too violent and are having negative long-term effects on children. It is common to see young boys pretending to shoot one another, while jumping on the couch and hiding in closets as a sort of make-believe fort. But parents say that children are learning these behaviors from cartoons and imitating them. Others however, disagree, they say that violence in cartoons does not effect children and that children need this world of fantasy in their lives. They say that children would show these same behaviors regardless of the content of the cartoons they watch.

    There’s an ancient chinese proverb that states “A child’s life is like a piece of paper on which everyone who passes by leaves an impression” (Great-Quotes.com.) People blindly believe that children are easily influenced by violent cartoons on television. From generation to generation parents are always warned not to allow their kids to watch too much violent cartoons. What kids watch- and not just how much- matters when it comes to television viewing (Rochman.) But just how true is that? Research on the negative influences of cartoons on children is inconclusive and complex.
