Ensuring a Sustainable Future

             Have you recently seen a photo of skinny polar bear that was shown in News? Usually we think polar bear as a furry and chubby animal. However, the photoshoot of recent polar bear in the news looked so different that shocked everyone. Eventually it became the hottest issue that clearly showed the seriousness of global warming and the possible danger of unstable future. After this incident, scientists and people started to worry about the sustainability of future livings. In fact, scientists claimed that this figure already proves the big risk of sustainable future that we should find solutions to prevent the worse situation. In order to sustain the future of our and even our future generations’ livings, both Government and individuals should work together by inventing environmental machines or tools and supporting community for actions in order to make process of protecting the environment

             First, Government should eagerly support science fields for building useful inventions in order to solve this problem. To be specific, scientists should make efforts on inventing environmental machines such as car moving without any need of fossil. In scientific term, this kind of car is called “Green Car,” and it consumes less harmful engine oils that are good for reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Since regular cars release so much harmful concentrated gas, changing vehicles into environmental cars will be an influential way to protect the environment and also to prevent the climate change. To do so, it is significant that Government should contribute some financial supports for this project.

             Also, not only that big community like Government should only focus on future sustainability, but also individuals should work on by themselves starting from a small community. Thus, the best way for us to protect the environment is recycling well. This might sound very small thing that can be helpful for saving the environment but in fact, processing this small action can bring big difference. To support the previous statement, the science research proves that recycling one papers can reduce emissions of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. In addition, it is also mentioned that paper recycling leaves more trees to sustain and this naturally supports for saving the forest. For these reasons, recycling is a crucial part for protecting the future sustainability. Hence, every communities in the area should held certain day for recycling. South Korea already holds this system and mostly this mandatory recycling day is held on weekends. Since this recycling system has kept showing positive effects, we certainly should continue it without non stopping.  

             Overall, there are two influential ways to protect the sustainable future. One way is to Government providing financial support to the Science fields in order to invent environmental friendly products that can be helpful for saving the pollution. Another method is that people in any communities should passionately participated in recycling because this system is the most persuasive way for sustaining the future environment. By looking at these statements, it seems that these solutions are existed only for protecting the future environment. However, not only that we could protect the environment from processing these solutions but also that they could be also beneficial for developing economy.

Explanatory Essay: The Help

When you watch movies, do you often think that the locations filmed in movies are important? Some may just enjoy movies without considering it, but some might notice the importance and the purpose of the location it is filmed. In fact, location could be a crucial element in order to understand the backgrounds and history more clearly and deeply about the movie. The Help, movie based on novel about the African-Americans’ personal stories as house maids working for whites in a discriminated situation, was filmed in Greenword, Mississippi and this location was very important element in order to comprehend the historical backgrounds about serious racism and culture of that time period in Mississippi.

<Movie The Help>

             Mississippi is a significant place in this movie because it is the most fitting place to portray the feature of racism in 1960s America. 1960 era in America was the term when the uprisal of racial civil rights was occurring, such as Martin Luther King marching and making a speech for blacks. Unlike Washington and New York, where there were protests for civil rights, Mississippi was the state where blacks were still not able to express their rights. In fact, their rights were oppressed and even were threatened by whites. For example, Aibileen and other black maids were humiliated because they were supposed to use separate bathrooms to prevent the “disease,” and there were KKK who killed innocent blacks in Jackson. According to the history, Mississippi was one of the states that had serious segregation issues existed, and that’s why main characters like Aibileen, Minny and Skeeter get motivated to start this dangerous challenge. Even though their lives won’t be safe when they get caught, their desire to live more fair as a human being and the hope to spread the serious issues of black segregation were so eager that they decide this challenge. Therefore, the historical backgrounds about the black segregation in Mississippi in the past clearly show that its’ location is a right place to emphasize the topic.

             Moreover, one of the reasons why Mississippi is a critical place is because the local culture of that town are suitable for raising the amusements while watching the movie. To be specific, slang words, costumes, jokes and the scene of cotton fields catch attentions and even get assumption about the historical backgrounds of slavery in the past. Since there are several cotton fields in Jackson town, Mississippi has become the root of African-American habitants. Also, blacks using unfamiliar English, slang words, and the pronunciation of Southern US state are so different that caught our attention. Especially Minny, a black maid and friend of Aibileen, sarcastically mocks white ladies and her being a loud mouth are truly fascinating. One of the most fascinating scene about Minny in this movie is when she says “Eat my shit” to Miss Hilly when handing the pie. Her humorous and unpredictable personalities, which can also define the general feature of blacks, definitely outstands in the entire movie. For these reasons, Mississippi is a perfect place to be filmed in the movie The Help.

             Overall, Mississippi State is undoubtedly a right place and an important element in filming the movie The Help. Mississippi’s historical background of black slavery and serious segregation problems possibly relates to the situation of the novel. In addition, the local culture of southern citizens and blacks’ languages and costumes also become a crucial part to emphasize the amusement of movie. The movie The Help was actually nominated in the Academy Award in 2012, and as matter of fact many critics claim that the image of Mississippi was a crucial part for the nomination. Hence, it could be proved that location filmed in movies or seen in any novels could be an essential source.
