The film BARAKA is described as non-verbal spiritual
meditation on the relationship between humans and nature. The
film consists of three segments representing the following
themes: the beauty of the natural world and the spiritual world,
the negative impacts of humans/technology on the natural and
spiritual worlds and the reconnection between humans and
nature via spirituality/religion. From this perspective,
spirituality is at the center of the relationship between humans
and nature and its also the means by which humans connect or
reconnect with nature.
Our text book presents a different perspective. According to
our text, technology is the means by which humans adapt to,
interact with and make sense out of nature. Technology is what
allows us as humans to live fully within an otherwise powerful
and somewhat uncontrollable natural world. From this
perspective, technology, rather than spirituality, is at the center
of the relationship between humans and nature and the means by
which humans connect or reconnect with nature.
How do you perceive, based on your personal experience, the
relationship between humans, technology, nature, and
religion/spirituality? Do you agree with the perspective of the
film? With the text? A combination of the two? Neither?
Be specific in your argument and use examples from the film,
text, and your experience to support your argument.
