Political Life of Al Gore The life of Al Gore on his way to the presidential candidate was a long and fulfilling path leading from his beginnings as a young man working on his families farm in Tennessee to his strong leadership as a congressman and Vice Presidency to Bill Clinton. The man that many people now respect as a true leader grew up like most ordinary citizens of America, growing up on his parent’s farm in Tennessee he learned the importance of caring for the environment and the value of hard work. The after his military service fighting for our country in Vietnam, Gore returned to Tennessee and attended the Divinity School and to work nights as a Police Reporter and City Hall Reporter for the Nashville Tennessean. The Gore’s then purchased their own farm in Carthage in 1973 and started a family. He later attended Vanderbilt Law School. This farm is still home to the Gore’s while they campaign for Al’s various goals and careers. There are many player groups that are both for and against presidential hopeful Gore on his way to the presidency of the United States. Some of the major player groups that are supporting Gore on his way to the presidency are the Law Enforcement Officers who have Gore’s support not only with pro-crime prevention legislation but also with the needed materials and technology to fight the advanced crime of today. Another major player group that supports candidate Gore is the Postal Unions, who are supporting Gore because of Bush's plan to privatize the Post Office causing the current government program to be destroyed and the loss of many jobs, Gore wants to keep the current Postal System. Another group that is in favor of the Gore administration is the School Teachers who favor Gore’s plan to keep the current school system but to add money to modernize school’s as well as to hire new teacher’s and decrease the class size along with avoiding such inconsistency’s as ignoring the problem’s that schools are having. This is in direct contrast to Governor Bush’s plan to give parent’s vouchers to send their kids to private or religious schools instead of giving money to public schools to fix the problems. Another issue that Gore is challenging is the problems that the nation is having involving considering the environment and global warming and Gore is supported by the environmentalists who like his plan to invent more fuel efficient automobiles and to try to destroy the American dependency on fossil fuels and devise new forms of energy for American’s.
An Inconvenient Truth is a documentary film in which basis are put long-term researches of changes of climate, level of carbonic gas in the atmosphere, and conditions of polar ices. In this film, El Gore, a presidential candidate of 2000 and former vice president of the United States, explains the scientific and political view of global warming and its serious consequences that we already observe on Earth, and other more tragic consequences that are still to come in the near future if we do not reduce emissions of exhaust gas in the atmosphere. Nothing especially new about the global warning is presented in the film, but what made this film effective is, firs of all, the fact that El Gore, a public and well known figure in the United States, is the main protagonist of the film. Another effective point in the film is that El Gore put all the scientific work together and showed that the problem is real, it is not a myth, and it should not be ignored any longer.
I have always admired Al Gore, and after watching this film, I am disappointed even more now, that he never became a president. He is indeed very smart and very talented person, who truly desires to change things not only in the United States but around the world. Especially, after watching his film about global warming, he made me feel like he does really care about the world and people. He said: “what we take for granted might not be here for our children,” to me, perhaps, this is the most moral idea that came across the entire film. Not only his words, but his actions prove his true diligence about our present and future, and also about future generations. He was able to deliver an important message to me, which ought to alert me and
Michael Pollan does an excellent job at conveying the seriousness of this issue to his audience. However, it is unclear whether he wants the audience to take action against climate change or if he merely wants to inform them about how no action they could take would yield success. In addition to this, it seems as if Pollan begins to diverge from the greater problem of climate change in order to cover more trivial topics. For example, in the final paragraph of this article, Pollan elects to write about the “sweeter reasons to plant that garden …” (Pollan 6). By doing so, Michael Pollan falls victims to the very criticism he gave about Al Gore earlier in this very same article. Instead of
Gore’s logical appeals emphasize the danger and significance of global warming in a cogent, engaging multimedia platform. Rather than monotonously expounding upon detail after detail, he uses interactive visual aids to clarify his claims. As Stefan Lovgren, in “Al Gore’s ‘Inconvenient Truth’ Movie: Fact or Hype?,” abbreviates, “the documentary handles the science well.” Gore is confident in the delivery of his information; he talks to his audience with ease and precision. He states, “[t]he relationships are actually very complicated, but there is one relationship that is far more powerful than all the others and it is this: When there is more carbon dioxide...

He says that biking to work and doing things that are better on the environment but he says that on the flip side there is people out there doing the exact opposite.

Michael Pollan, on his essay “Why Bother” published in the New York Times in 2008 recounts his concern on the lately increased of global warming.

Calvin Coolidge was born July 4, 1872 in Plymouth, Vermont. His father was a pillar of the community and an honest man. Calvin inherited his taciturn nature, his frugality, and his commitment to public service from him. Both his mom and sister passed away when he was a child, which had a part in him developing his stocial personality. As a boy, Calvin didn’t have many plans other than following in his father’s footsteps by becoming an honest small town merchant. He listened to President Harrison speak at Bennington, which sparked his interest in politics. He later went to college at Amherst College which “deeply influenced his later life and his career in politics” (Stevens). After college, Calvin began studying in the Hammond and Field law

Political elites have a way of altering the media, and using the media as a weapon to get what they want, and most Americans are too ignorant to stop and analyze what’s going on and see the facts. The biggest vehicle that politicians use is the television, which is where Gore starts his book. Gore does an excellent job of selling television as a top contributor to the assault on reason, and this is because, unlike the newspaper or internet, television is a medium for the rich and powerful, because not just anyone can get on TV. Also, unlike the internet, television is a means in which elite politicians overload viewers with information passively, which means that people cannot have a two-way conversation, because to purchase airtime on television costs a pretty penny, and only the rich and powerful (political elites) have the money to get that kind of airtime. This is a

Have you ever watched a movie based on a book you've read? In Al Gore's speech he had both the written version and the video version.
