Right before I was about to start my paper, I turned on the television and discovered that Wall-E was starting in 5 minutes. Not only was this a great way to further procrastinate doing school work, but it was also relevant. The movie further helped me decide on my side of the argument. As silly as it sounds, Wall-E shows what we will become if we don’t starting moving towards putting the green movement into effect and become fully dependent on technology. We are so consumed by technology as it is, and with new things emerging so rapidly, it is hard to not get distracted and take a moment to appreciate the real world around us.
So far, I have picked out a few points in Slade’s work that I would like to cover or mention to help back up my argument that society is not moving towards change and we will continue on a path of destruction. I feel as it many of the points explain the same thing, though, but I did not want to include history in the paper, as Slade covers that a lot in his book. I found a few articles on companies investing in ways to generate more efficient energy, but am having trouble relating it back to my paper, as they help support the opposite side of my argument. I am also finding it difficult to keep my opinion out of this paper as this is such a controversial topic. There are so many directions to go with this paper, I just have to find where to start. This assignment will certainly be a challenge.
