Exploitation Of Whales And Fish After The 1920s
The exploitation of whales and fish after 1920 was massive and without control. The Discovery Investigation was a committee formed by the British
government with the purpose to make recommendations about sustainable whaling to prevent the collapse of whales. It started in 1925 and provide
information about the amount of whales caught. During this time the commercial interest of the whales and the fishery dictated the behaviour of the
whalers and fishers (Brandon and Clark, 2009).
According to the whaling library, during the World War II the industry of fishing and whaling decrease (OU, 2016). After, it finished the depletion of the
fish and whales continue. Later in 1946, the International Whaling Commission was created with similar

Whaling Needs to Stop
While you could argue that practically everyone who has gone through the American education system has at least heard of Moby Dick, the whaling

Hunting whales was not on an industrial scale until the 1890's, and continued until the International Whaling Commission took effect in 1986. The
article refers to the unsustainability of whaling commercially. The number of whales in our oceans has been rapidly reducing in the years that
humans have had access to commercial whaling ships. Hunting an endangered species is highly unethical, because we could, within a generation or
two, see the fall of the largest beings alive today. The whales in our oceans belong to the whole world and not just to Japan and Norway. Even with
the restrictions by the IWC, Japan still continues for "Scientific Research". Scientific Research has recently been deemed illegal in the Arctic water,
but they have completely disregarded all sanctions put against them to try and stop the unethical whaling. Not only that they were importing whale
meat from Norway because of its lower prices there, the whale ban was executed to make all whaling illegal which Japan failed to recognise. 400
whales were killed a year and most of the meat ending up in fish markets and restaurants. The

Lego 's Partnership With Oil Interests And The Destruction...
On July 8th, 2014, Greenpeace released a video criticizing LEGO's partnership with oil giant Shell. The video, which has become a rallying point for
environmental groups, sought to force LEGO to end its partnership with Shell due to Shell's plans to implement offshore drilling in the Arctic. Fearing
that the drilling would lead to a massive oil spill which could destroy the Arctic ecosystem, Greenpeace used the video to garner worldwide attention to
the issue. Painting the relationship between LEGO and Shell as promoting oil interests and the destruction of the Artic gave Greenpeace an
environmental issue that the rest of the world could identify with. Keeping the Arctic and its ecosystem intact is in the interests of people globally,
which made the video advertisement even more potent.
Factual Assertions
Evaluating Greenpeace's ad for factual claims proves to be a tricky affair. Since the medium used is LEGOs, their ability to portray real–life situations
is a little distorted. While this does not take away from the effectiveness of the ad, it makes it harder to determine what is actually factual.
The most obvious factual claim in the ad would be the partnership that has existed between Shell and LEGO. This relationship has been in place
through a series of co–branding deals since the 1960s. LEGO and Shell agreed to create a set of toys that carries the Shell logo and would be sold at
gasoline stations worldwide. The intended effect was to put LEGOs in the hands of more

Save The Whales? Crisis Management At Lego
Save the Whales? Crisis Management at Lego
Introduction
Lego President and CEO JГёrgen Vig Knudstorp was surprised when Greenpeace activists, in an attempt to stop Arctic drilling, mounted a campaign
criticizing his popular toy company for its cobranding relationship with Shell Oil. At first, Knudstorp and his executive team at Lego headquarters in
Billund Denmark didn't quite understand Greenpeace's criticism. Was the criticism justified? Why didn't Greenpeace tackle Shell directly? Would
Greenpeace's campaign be taken seriously or would it simply fade away? As Greenpeace beefed up its efforts through social media, Lego's top
management was left wondering how to respond to Greenpeace or whether they should respond at all. And more importantly, executives didn't know
whether Lego should continue its business relationship with Shell.
Lego
Lego, from the Danish words "leg godt" or play well, was founded by Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen in 1932 (Herman, 2012). Known for
producing iconic studded plastic bricks that were enjoyed by both children and adults, Lego produced more than 30 Lego–based video games and,
through licensing agreements, popular Star Wars and Harry Potter Lego sets (Baichtal & Meno, 2011). Lego also sold a series of Arctic sets

They have used many creative measures to gain attention of people who would otherwise not notice the environmental problems occurring. Catchy
posters are put in strategic and visible areas where everyone can see their stance on an issue. Greenpeace wants people to notice what they are saying,
form an opinion on it and hopefully agree with them. However, not everyone agrees with them though.
There have been many opponents to Greenpeace since its inception in 1971. Some large corporations dislike Greenpeace because the group can
cause them to lose money when it is made public how much they pollute. For example, one company that was upset with Greenpeace is The Home
Depot, a large "do it yourself" store. Greenpeace was opposed to their selling of wood taken from ancient forests. They organized protests and
created a boycott of Home Depot. Also, officials in the Marshall Islands are upset with Greenpeace because the officials want to raise money for a
study on the disposal of Asian nuclear waste in the islands. (3) If they let a waste site be built, they would end up making a lot of money. Greenpeace
opposed the plan because all nuclear waste is harmful. Furthermore, in December of 1999 a Greenpeace ship was attacked by a Japanese whaling
vessel near Antarctica. (4) The Japanese vessel, the Nisshin–Maru, rammed the Greenpeace ship MV Arctic Sunrise because the Japanese didn't like the

had a dangerous fault line and was prone to earthquakes and tsunamis after the serious earthquake in Alaska, 1964. A group known as the 'Don't Make

Although Greenpeace's campaign in the early 1970s had created positive change for the environment and people by forcing the French government
to move their testing underground, it caused serious conflict between France and Greenpeace. This led to France taking action against the

into the Murorua Atoll in 1985. The bomb was supposedly intended to make a point and end Greenpeace's protests as peacefully as possible, without
harming anyone. However, Fernando Pereira, a photographer on board the boat, was killed by the second bomb's explosion, and the vessel was sunk.

Argumentative Essay On Whaling
An Exemption For Whaling
For this week's written assignment, I have chosen to address the Norwegian and Japanese positions on permitting whale hunting as a cultural
exemption. As someone who was born in Norway, and has visited several whaling towns, I feel that I have some idea of the importance ofwhaling to
Norwegian cultures and national identity. Although Japan is culturally and geographically a very different place to Norway, I feel that the importance
of whaling to both cultures provides some similarities between the two nations.
1. Do you agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position on permitting the hunting of non–endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption?
I find this particular question a difficult one to answer. Whaling is a notoriously cruel method of hunting – "there is no humane way to kill a whale at
sea. Many die a slow, painful death" (Whale and Dolphin Conservation, n.d.). There is also concern from whale scientists about the effect of the hunting
of whales on whale communities and populations (Whale and Dolphin Conservation, n.d.). It cannot be denied that whaling is an inhumane process,
with serious repercussions for the whale species.
However, I do feel that Norway and Japan should be able to exercise their right to self–determination (as expressed in the UN's Universal Declaration of
Human Rights). Both countries argue that whaling is crucial to several of their local communities. The North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission

Negative Impact of Whaling in Japan
Biodiversity often appears as an under the radar issue that is put on the backburner to other environmental problems such as: climate change, ocean
acidification, or ozone depletion. When in reality, it should really be a frontrunner as it explicitly involves all living things that dwell within our shared
biosphere. While the human population did not really start making waves to remedy the endangerment or extinction of plants and animals until the
1970s with laws that included, the Marine
Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act; we have proved that our part in biodiversity is crucial now that we live in the anthropogenic
age. A hot and debated topic on the subject of biodiversity arose with theInternational Whaling Commission
(IWC), an international body that is set on goals to preserve whale stocks and regulate whaling as to help various species recover from near
endangerment. Most all practices of hunting whales were banned along the globe but, exceptions were made in cases such as Japan; for alleged
"scientific" purposes. The focus issues of this paper will stem from the controversy involving whaling, specifically in Japan, because while they justify
their reasons for continued whale hunting, they still walk a fine line in the eyes of anti– whalers and whale–watchers alike.

Are Greenpeace's Positions on Agriculture Responsible?
First of all, the attitude taken by Greenpeace on agriculture is a responsible one. For example, they have a negative stance on the genetic enhancement
problem. However, some opponents have totally different opinions. Take Patrick Moore as an example, he said that the activists in the environmental
group have no tolerance about the genetic enhanced food (Moore, 2005). It mentioned that there is no evidence show that genetic enhanced food can
be harmful to human health and global environment (Moore, 2005). Therefore, he persisted in his opinion and had a conclusion that promotion of
genetic enhancement will be much helpful for agriculture. "Genetically enhanced crops reduce chemical pesticides, boost yield and reduce soil
erosion" (Moore, 2005). However, it is quiet misleading to say that activists cannot accept it without any reasons. In this case, lacking of evidence does
not mean that genetic enhancement and enhanced food are totally beneficial for environment. On the other hand, (Watson, 2005) mentioned more
about it. It said that environmentalists were really worried about complex and dangerous bacteria due to irresponsible gene combining. Compared with
Moore, Watson provided specific details about the danger of genetic enhancement instead of showing no evidence. To sum up, it is responsible and safe

Various Studies have showed that media display an inherent bias against social protests, reflecting elite interests, primarily by focusing on incidents of
violence rather than on the message these protest groups try to convey. Eldridge argues that what is being presented as neutral reporting is in fact "an
array of codes and practices which effectively rest upon a cultural imperative to hear the causes of disputes in one way rather than another", meaning

Essay about Whale Hunting By the Makah Tribe
Whale hunting has been a way of life for the Makah Tribe for more than 2000 years. They have traditionally depended on the whale meat to survive
as well as they have utilized the whales blubber and oil. The dependence on whale hunting has caused the whale to be an integral part of the Makah
culture. The whale is in their songs, dances, designs and basketry. It has given them a disciple and pride in their tribe. Yet for the past seventy years the
Makah has been prevented from hunting due to the gray whale, the whale they hunt, being on the endangered list. In 1994 the gray whale was removed
form the endangered list opening the possibility of the Makah Tribe to hunt again. Yet this possibility has caused anti

This treaty's importance to the Makahs is due, to what they feel as, their need for their culture to be able to hunt. They believe that without hunting
integrated into their culture their people have grown restless and lack discipline and pride. The also attribute many of their health problems to the lack
of sea mammal meat in their diet. They believe "that the restoration of whaling will help restore that discipline and pride" as well as help physically.
The Makah realize that people are concerned that if they resume whale hunting that the gray whale will suffer the possibility of extension again. Yet
the treaty carries stipulations on what and how many whales they can kill. The Makah can only kill up to five adult gray males in migration per year.
The are not allowed to hunt a calf or a mother with a calf. With the species having its largest population ever at 22,263 and increasing 2.5 percent every
year, the Makah's hunt will not threaten the gray whale with endangerment.
Anti–whaling organizations argue that if the Makah are allowed to hunt that they should not be able to hunt the migrating males, only those in
"permanent residence." Yet Makah Tribal Chairman Greig Arnold replied "Whaling is dangerous enough just to go, and then to add all these
stipulations just makes it more dangerous." These stipulations would force the Makah to hunt in the ocean in December or early spring when the seas

What Makes Up The Organization Greenpeace?
No matter someone's political view, personal beliefs, or behaviors, it is undeniable that the Earth is slowly crumbling as it ages and humans have
some part in that. We leave our carbon footprint all over the world, especially America. Fortunately, there are many people out there that are working
on trying to fix the mistakes of others and are helping to clean up this Earth. Some of these people are what makes up the organization Greenpeace. It
has a background of being a leading organization in the country. Like OD, Greenpeace is focused on education, having a long range prospective,
looking for creativity in their volunteers, and working together as a group. Background Greenpeace is one of the leading non–profit organizations in
the country and the world. This organization has managed to become incredibly popular since the 1970's when the organization first started.
Greenpeace all began because of a determined group who wanted to stop nuclear testing. It has since then grown into an organization whose purpose
is to peacefully serve the environment, whether it is locally, nationally, or globally. Greenpeace is made up of leaders such as Executive Director,
Director of Online Strategy, Chief Operating Officer, etc. Those leaders also combine with volunteers from the community to help create a difference
in the world. These people have been focused on saving the artic, preserving many different forest across the world, and protecting animals from the

The more awareness they gain, the more their message will be spread and changed. Greenpeace is a resourceful group only gaining contributions
from donations and not soliciting from government, political candidates or corporations. These individual contributions and support from over 2
millions members are the backbone of support for the group. Greenpeace targets the EPA(an executive branch department). It is the most
comprehensive agency, since virtually every executive department that has some environmental authority. Unfortunately Lawsuits do happen and
people turn on a group for bad portrayal from the media. Shell sued Greenpeace for blocking a shipment of oil in protest of oiling drilling. This
turned people against Greenpeace since they lost the lawsuit and had to pay a fine. Overall, Greenpeace is a very successful group. They forced one
of the most powerful oil companies out of the arctic, and convinced Obama's administration to stop oil drilling in the Arctic for 2 years, which is a big

Greenpeace And Earth First !: The Radical Environmental...
Summary: For almost 50 years radical environmentalists have banded together using a variety of different tactics to destroy and vandalize the private
property of individuals and corporations that encroach on the natural environment. From monkey–wrenching to arson, these eco–warriors will do
almost anything to protect mother earth from greedy individuals. However, many failed attempts and a negative stigma from the general public show
that although their intentions are good, the actions are immoral and disadvantageous to the modern environmental movement.
Background: The radical environmental movement started in the 1970s with two groups, Greenpeace and Earth First! as major influences.
Greenpeace formed to address the issue of whaling and nuclear testing, they took matters into their own hands by directly addressing the issues on the
front line. Earth First! started a few years later in 1979, This organization pioneered the use of publicity stunts and vandalism to display their concern
on environmental issues. Using sabotage for an ecologic reason is referred to as eco–tage, and has inspired other groups to do the same, often targeting
logging, and development projects.
A more extreme party emerged in the late 1980s known as the Earth Liberation Front. ELF used arson along with classic methods like monkey

A few activists began to protest since the testing was on fault line and they feared it might cause an earthquake leading to a tsunami. These activists
were the founders of the "Don't Make a Wave Committee" which would turn into Greenpeace. The name came during one of their meetings when one
of the members, Irving Stowe, "flashed the peace sign – as was his custom – and said 'Peace'. On that occasion, the usually rather quiet Canadian
ecologist Bill Darnell made the off–hand reply: 'Make it a green peace.'" Wife of a US Navy veteran, Marie Bohlen came up with the idea to sail a
boat out to the testing site to protest by mere presence. They funded this by hosting a concert and recording that concert on to CDs. Roughly sixteen
thousand people attended the concert and they raised over $23,000. They used this money to charter a ship and went to sail out to the site to prevent
the testing. The US Navy intercepted them preventing them from accomplishing their mission, but upon return they learned that the media caught
wind of this story and the group and their mission gained a lot of public attention. They were unable to prevent that test fire, but the rest of the tests
that were planned after that were cancelled and the island was later declared as a bird sanctuary. ("History," n.d.) This was just the beginning of a very

Whale Persuasive Speech
To many, the thought of eating whale meat might seem strange, as they are not accustomed to consuming this kind of meat, while to others eating cow
(beef) is a strange and cruel thing to do. Around the globe, there are different ways that individuals support themselves financially, and different foods
that are consumed. Cultural practices are what sets each group of people apart and make us unique, neighboring counties should not be allowed to
change century–long practices as they see fit. Per the WDC "Whaling is cruel and unnecessary and must stop. Commercial whaling is effectively
banned. Trade in whale products is forbidden. Yet, every year, Japan, Norway and Iceland kill around 1,500 whales between them. They defy
international bans and global opinion and they hunt whales even though there is little demand for the meat." (WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation,
2017) Since the WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, was founded in the US and eating whale is not a part of its culture, it comes across as cruel.
The question that one needs to ask is what difference is there in catching a whale for food versus catching mackerel or consuming beef? A mackerel is
a non–endangered species, but yet it is allowed. Japan and Norway should be allowed to continue their practices on a cultural exemption. Sovereignty
can be defined as supreme and independent power or authority in government as possessed or claimed by a state or community (Dictionary.com, 2017).

Greenpeace: Creating a Greener and More Peaceful World
Intro Greenpeace is an international non–governmental organization dedicated to protecting the environment globally. They are committed to using
non–violent action and forcing solutions to create a greener and more peaceful world. "Greenpeace's goal is to ensure the ability of the earth to
nurture life in all its diversity" (greenpeace.org). They also work to protect animals and their habitats, as well as promote disarmament and peaceful
settlement of disputes. They are a completely independent organization with absolutely no political or governmental influence. They have several
ongoing campaigns that are working toward a better and brighter future for the environment. This paper is going to discuss the history, structure, goals,
and future of Greenpeace on the international scene.
Origins
In 1971, a small group of activist set sail from Vancouver, Canada, in an old fishing boat to protest US nuclear weapons testing in Alaska. From this
mission Greenpeace was first established. Amchitka, Alaska is one of the world's most earthquake–prone regions; it is also a refuge for three thousand
endangered sea otters and other wildlife. The founders of Greenpeace set sail in the Phyllis Cormack to put a stop to the underground weapons testing
that was further endangering the animals and hurting the environment. Their boat was intercepted in the process, and the mission was a failure, but
people still saw their vision and interest had been sparked. Later that year the testing was

Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring was the start of the environmental movement. She was the whistleblower on DDT in the 1960s. DDT was a
harmful chemical that was being used as a pesticide and to try to cure and prevent Polio. She believed that we needed to better control the chemicals
that we were using and she warned about sciences ability to alter nature, which she was able to prevent in some ways (Silent Spring Video). There are
many levels to the environmental movement. Some organizations, like ALF and ELF are very radical, while others like The Sierra Club are a bit more
conservative (Environmental Organization notes). Having this ying/yang gives people who want to get involved with helping out a lot of different
options. In conclusion, Rachel Carson's Silent Spring set up the structure of the environmental movement. There are so many different groups and
organizations in the environmental movement, this variety is good, whether they are conservative or liberal, they are fighting for the same thing, to

"event" like it would never occur again. This story showed the negative side of education and sharing culture and the author did not depict both sides
or give an explanation he simply said that the parents were wrong.
Despite the bias that exists in the article "After the Makah Whale Hunt" the article still addresses economic issues and is thus still similar to the other

industrialization; however it was detrimental for the environment. With industries booming, meant more pollution affecting natural resources. DDT
was helping to save millions of lives from fatal disease, but there was minimal evidence as to how harmful this insecticide was for both humans and
animals. Throughout the 1960's new research was discovered as to the impacts destroying the environment. Activists as well as politicians began to
incorporate the value of protecting the environment into mainstream events. This gave the perfect opportunity for new organizations to arise, which
over a dozen did. The most influential one being Greenpeace as it was the first organization to spread awareness about environmental issues, and is now

A decade before Greenpeace was established, leading environmentalist and biologist, Rachel Carson, published Silent Spring which shed light for the
first time on the effects of pesticides. It challenged the belief that insecticides would not be harmful for people and animals. The impact
industrialization had on the environment and on people's health, such as smog and pollution, was also brought up in the book. In the latter part of the

Whaling Should Be Banned
Aside from radical protests against whaling, other NGOs such as Greenpeace have "peacefully protested" the ongoing whaling, by avoiding "fleet
wars" the SSCS partakes in. By 1973, Greenpeace confronted whaling fleets in response to the decline of blue whales and other species. In the midst
of a peaceful battle to defend the whales, Greenpeace snapped a photograph of a dead sperm whale, burdening the public to the IWC in requests for
justice. Responding to the incident in 1979, the IWC established the Indian Ocean Whale Sanctuary as a conservation measure, and in 1982 the IWC
declared a Global Moratorium. The desire of the IWC to conserve their image of "anti–whalers" driven them to act immediately from the accusations
over Japan. The establishment of the moratorium was a plan to cease commercial whaling in 1986 and in 2003 to allow for the ... Show more content on

Countries such as Norway, Iceland and Japan declared an objection to the moratorium (1982). By declaring an objection to the moratorium the

Climate Change : Causes And Effects Essay
Climate change:
Climate change is caused mainly by increase of human activity and industrialisation. For example, activities such as driving cars, farming, burning coal
and cutting down forests produce greenhouse gases – mainly carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide which are emitted into the atmosphere, which
create a layer of greenhouse gases around the earth and trap the sun 's heat.
The earth over its 4.5 billion–year history has naturally fluctuated from ice ages to extreme droughts, however in the last 10,000 years or so, the
climate became much more stable and sustainable for human beings to live. However, in the past 50–100 years, particularly in the 21st century, with
increased human activity like agriculture, transportation, etc, green houses gases have increased majorly and have caused extreme events such as
increased floods, storms, cyclones, droughts and landslips. The weather is not only warming up but is also becoming much colder in areas in an
extremely fast rate.
Climate change is occurring worldwide, as it is effecting the earth directly. However, these are areas on Earth that are already feeling the impact of
climate change more than others. For example,
Satellite measurements have showed that the waters of Australia 's Great Barrier Reef have warmed by 0.2 degrees Celsius on average over the past

Conservation And Management Of Wildlife
Executive summary
"The Greatness of nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated" – Mahatma Gandhi
Unfortunately, we often hear the news about the illicit wildlife trafficking or illegal wildlife trade. Wildlife seems to be traded all around us. It is
used not only as pets and trophies but also for food, leather, home decorations and medical purposes.
Wildlife is an important part of ecological community as it plays an important role in the environment. I know that conservation and management of
wildlife is a very complex issue, but to save wildlife, we should take some positive actions, which requires changes in our life style and changes in our
general way of thinking so that the future generations of both wildlife and human can enjoy it.
Any actions threatening wildlife and its habitat must be banned right now.
Introduction
Today more and more wildlife is becoming extinct or in danger of extinction for various reasons. There are different types of wildlife exploitation,
with varying effects on the welfare of the animals involved< worldanimal.net, n.d>. However, we should notice that wildlife is killed and exploited by
us. In other words, Human beings are destroying the planet.

Exploitation Of Whales And Fish After The 1920S

  • 1. Exploitation Of Whales And Fish After The 1920s The exploitation of whales and fish after 1920 was massive and without control. The Discovery Investigation was a committee formed by the British government with the purpose to make recommendations about sustainable whaling to prevent the collapse of whales. It started in 1925 and provide information about the amount of whales caught. During this time the commercial interest of the whales and the fishery dictated the behaviour of the whalers and fishers (Brandon and Clark, 2009). According to the whaling library, during the World War II the industry of fishing and whaling decrease (OU, 2016). After, it finished the depletion of the fish and whales continue.

  • 2. Whaling Needs to Stop While you could argue that practically everyone who has gone through the American education system has at least heard of Moby Dick, the whaling industry, a main element of the topic, is not so well known. Since the 12th century, hunting large mammals has been a very active sport. They would fish foe whales, looking for the fat to make oil for lamps, candles, and soap. Hunting whales was not on an industrial scale until the 1890's, and continued until the International Whaling Commission took effect in 1986. The article refers to the unsustainability of whaling commercially. The number of whales in our oceans has been rapidly reducing in the years that humans have had access to commercial whaling ships. Hunting an endangered species is highly unethical, because we could, within a generation or two, see the fall of the largest beings alive today. The whales in our oceans belong to the whole world and not just to Japan and Norway. Even with the restrictions by the IWC, Japan still continues for "Scientific Research". Scientific Research has recently been deemed illegal in the Arctic water, but they have completely disregarded all sanctions put against them to try and stop the unethical whaling. Not only that they were importing whale meat from Norway because of its lower prices there, the whale ban was executed to make all whaling illegal which Japan failed to recognise. 400 whales were killed a year and most of the meat ending up in fish markets and restaurants.

  • 3. Lego 's Partnership With Oil Interests And The Destruction... On July 8th, 2014, Greenpeace released a video criticizing LEGO's partnership with oil giant Shell. The video, which has become a rallying point for environmental groups, sought to force LEGO to end its partnership with Shell due to Shell's plans to implement offshore drilling in the Arctic. Fearing that the drilling would lead to a massive oil spill which could destroy the Arctic ecosystem, Greenpeace used the video to garner worldwide attention to the issue. Painting the relationship between LEGO and Shell as promoting oil interests and the destruction of the Artic gave Greenpeace an environmental issue that the rest of the world could identify with. Keeping the Arctic and its ecosystem intact is in the interests of people globally, which made the video advertisement even more potent. Factual Assertions Evaluating Greenpeace's ad for factual claims proves to be a tricky affair. Since the medium used is LEGOs, their ability to portray real–life situations is a little distorted. While this does not take away from the effectiveness of the ad, it makes it harder to determine what is actually factual. The most obvious factual claim in the ad would be the partnership that has existed between Shell and LEGO. This relationship has been in place through a series of co–branding deals since the 1960s. LEGO and Shell agreed to create a set of toys that carries the Shell logo and would be sold at gasoline stations worldwide. The intended effect was to put LEGOs in the hands of more ...

Grunig and Hunt (1984) the idea is to communicate with an aware public before it actively opposes an organization, thus becoming an activist public. London Greenpeace is an activist group with 3.3 million members in over 22 countries that use highly visible actions to draw media attention to environmental problems. The London Greenpeace group, a division of Greenpeace, is an independent group of activists that has no involvement in any political party. This group meets weekly to "share concern for the oppression in our lives and the destruction of our environment. Anderson (1992) cited that weaknesses in most case studies of activism is that similar case studies should be conducted that examine activism from the perspective of both the organizations and of the activists groups, which is applicable to this study of the McLibel case. In my research, I came across must more literature and disseminated information from the small activist group of London Greenpeace versus the large multi–national corporation of McDonald's. This study also points to the need of more studies that examine the special problems of international communication. The actions of a McDonald's triggered activist conflict not only in London, but in other different countries as well. "If public relations ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Save The Whales? Crisis Management At Lego Save the Whales? Crisis Management at Lego Introduction Lego President and CEO JГёrgen Vig Knudstorp was surprised when Greenpeace activists, in an attempt to stop Arctic drilling, mounted a campaign criticizing his popular toy company for its cobranding relationship with Shell Oil. At first, Knudstorp and his executive team at Lego headquarters in Billund Denmark didn't quite understand Greenpeace's criticism. Was the criticism justified? Why didn't Greenpeace tackle Shell directly? Would Greenpeace's campaign be taken seriously or would it simply fade away? As Greenpeace beefed up its efforts through social media, Lego's top management was left wondering how to respond to Greenpeace or whether they should respond at all. And more importantly, executives didn't know whether Lego should continue its business relationship with Shell. Lego Lego, from the Danish words "leg godt" or play well, was founded by Danish carpenter Ole Kirk Christiansen in 1932 (Herman, 2012). Known for producing iconic studded plastic bricks that were enjoyed by both children and adults, Lego produced more than 30 Lego–based video games and, through licensing agreements, popular Star Wars and Harry Potter Lego sets (Baichtal & Meno, 2011). Lego also sold a series of Arctic sets including an Arctic Base Camp, Arctic Outpost, Arctic Helicrane, Lego Ice Crawler, and Arctic Snowmobile. Those sets sold for $89.99, $49.99, $39.99, $14.99, and $6.99 respectively. Lego's 2014 film, The Lego Movie, grossed more ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Sometimes the problems go unnoticed while other times they get addressed and fixed. That is what has been happening with pollution and other environmental concerns since 1971. In that year, the organization called Greenpeace was created. Since then the group has jumpstarted many incredible changes dealing with the world around us.

They have used many creative measures to gain attention of people who would otherwise not notice the environmental problems occurring. Catchy posters are put in strategic and visible areas where everyone can see their stance on an issue. Greenpeace wants people to notice what they are saying, form an opinion on it and hopefully agree with them. However, not everyone agrees with them though. There have been many opponents to Greenpeace since its inception in 1971. Some large corporations dislike Greenpeace because the group can cause them to lose money when it is made public how much they pollute. For example, one company that was upset with Greenpeace is The Home Depot, a large "do it yourself" store. Greenpeace was opposed to their selling of wood taken from ancient forests. They organized protests and created a boycott of Home Depot. Also, officials in the Marshall Islands are upset with Greenpeace because the officials want to raise money for a study on the disposal of Asian nuclear waste in the islands. (3) If they let a waste site be built, they would end up making a lot of money. Greenpeace opposed the plan because all nuclear waste is harmful. Furthermore, in December of 1999 a Greenpeace ship was attacked by a Japanese whaling vessel near Antarctica.

With many different variations spanning the globe, most cultures have had whales represented within religion. The first nations worship orcas, whales are often highlighted in the bible and there is even a god resembling a whale in Hinduism. The human fascination of whales has continued on into today's society. Not only are there films in which whales are the focus, like the 1993 classic Free Willy, but there are even theme parks like SeaWorld and MarineLand, which allow patrons to get up and close with the majestic creatures and feel closer to the natural world.

But the largest storyline focused on is the oil executive J.W McGraw. A scene between McGraw and his wife, Ruth, depict the couple eating dinner when J.W brings up the fact that the main character Rachel Kramer asked him to use his Hoverboat to break the ice between the strait and the ice field the whales were trapped under. He said "That woman has got a hell of a big pair thinking that she can ask me for help after the way she embarrassed me like that. I mean, she 's nuts if she thinks I 'm going to let some hippies use my barge to save a bunch of whales!" However, J.W did not realise that Ruth had watched a newscast on the imprisoned whales earlier, and empathized with their predicament. To change J.W's mind she brought up his frustrations with the Greenpeace organisation. She said "Is Barrow near that Arctic wildlife reserve you 're always going on about? That place you want to drill so bad?". To which J.W replied "That 's a whole other fight. She 's got her tree–hugger buddies in Washington killing me on that one, too. You know, I spent a fortune and I still can 't get the votes I need to drill.". Ruth continued to provoke his thoughts by saying Can you imagine what those people would think if you saved those whales?". This sparked a revelation in J.W, he began to say a loud "Yeah, right.

  • 8. Rainbow Warrior Research Paper The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior was an event that truly began when Greenpeace first formed, almost two decades before the bombing in Auckland Harbour occured. In the late 1960s, the United States government planned to carry out nuclear testing on Amchitka, an unstable island in Alaska which had a dangerous fault line and was prone to earthquakes and tsunamis after the serious earthquake in Alaska, 1964. A group known as the 'Don't Make A Wave' committee formed to protest against the nuclear testing on the island. The committee began to make plans for other campaigns against nuclear testing elsewhere, as well as establishing their first office in Vancouver, Canada. Many of the members then decided to take the next step with their committee,... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Although Greenpeace's campaign in the early 1970s had created positive change for the environment and people by forcing the French government to move their testing underground, it caused serious conflict between France and Greenpeace. This led to France taking action against the organisation, by planting two bombs on Greenpeace's 'Rainbow Warrior' when it was docked in the Auckland Harbour before its upcoming journey into the Murorua Atoll in 1985. The bomb was supposedly intended to make a point and end Greenpeace's protests as peacefully as possible, without harming anyone. However, Fernando Pereira, a photographer on board the boat, was killed by the second bomb's explosion, and the vessel was sunk. This outcome led to the event being labelled a 'terrorist attack', both on Greenpeace and New Zealand, as it was initially unclear who the attack was aimed at.

  • 10. Argumentative Essay On Whaling An Exemption For Whaling For this week's written assignment, I have chosen to address the Norwegian and Japanese positions on permitting whale hunting as a cultural exemption. As someone who was born in Norway, and has visited several whaling towns, I feel that I have some idea of the importance ofwhaling to Norwegian cultures and national identity. Although Japan is culturally and geographically a very different place to Norway, I feel that the importance of whaling to both cultures provides some similarities between the two nations. 1. Do you agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position on permitting the hunting of non–endangered species of whales as a cultural exemption? I find this particular question a difficult one to answer. Whaling is a notoriously cruel method of hunting – "there is no humane way to kill a whale at sea. Many die a slow, painful death" (Whale and Dolphin Conservation, n.d.). There is also concern from whale scientists about the effect of the hunting of whales on whale communities and populations (Whale and Dolphin Conservation, n.d.). It cannot be denied that whaling is an inhumane process, with serious repercussions for the whale species.

  • 12. Negative Impact of Whaling in Japan Biodiversity often appears as an under the radar issue that is put on the backburner to other environmental problems such as: climate change, ocean acidification, or ozone depletion. When in reality, it should really be a frontrunner as it explicitly involves all living things that dwell within our shared biosphere. While the human population did not really start making waves to remedy the endangerment or extinction of plants and animals until the 1970s with laws that included, the Marine Mammal Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act; we have proved that our part in biodiversity is crucial now that we live in the anthropogenic age. A hot and debated topic on the subject of biodiversity arose with theInternational Whaling Commission (IWC), an international body that is set on goals to preserve whale stocks and regulate whaling as to help various species recover from near endangerment. Most all practices of hunting whales were banned along the globe but, exceptions were made in cases such as Japan; for alleged "scientific" purposes. The focus issues of this paper will stem from the controversy involving whaling, specifically in Japan, because while they justify their reasons for continued whale hunting, they still walk a fine line in the eyes of anti– whalers and whale–watchers alike. Commercial whaling was banned by the IWC around 1986 but the hunting still continued under certain expectations. "...Japan, or at least the country's Fisheries Agency, says it has the ...

  • 14. Are Greenpeace's Positions on Agriculture Responsible? First of all, the attitude taken by Greenpeace on agriculture is a responsible one. For example, they have a negative stance on the genetic enhancement problem. However, some opponents have totally different opinions. Take Patrick Moore as an example, he said that the activists in the environmental group have no tolerance about the genetic enhanced food (Moore, 2005). It mentioned that there is no evidence show that genetic enhanced food can be harmful to human health and global environment (Moore, 2005). Therefore, he persisted in his opinion and had a conclusion that promotion of genetic enhancement will be much helpful for agriculture. "Genetically enhanced crops reduce chemical pesticides, boost yield and reduce soil erosion" (Moore, 2005). However, it is quiet misleading to say that activists cannot accept it without any reasons. In this case, lacking of evidence does not mean that genetic enhancement and enhanced food are totally beneficial for environment. On the other hand, (Watson, 2005) mentioned more about it. It said that environmentalists were really worried about complex and dangerous bacteria due to irresponsible gene combining. Compared with Moore, Watson provided specific details about the danger of genetic enhancement instead of showing no evidence. To sum up, it is responsible and safe for Greenpeace to oppose the genetic enhancement because it can be dangerous.

The nature of our research is such that we are going to use a multitheoretical approach.

We briefly review the more relevant perspectives that have guided our assessment of the evidence and that were endorsed in our findings. Protest logic and mediation opportunity structure Various Studies have showed that media display an inherent bias against social protests, reflecting elite interests, primarily by focusing on incidents of violence rather than on the message these protest groups try to convey. Eldridge argues that what is being presented as neutral reporting is in fact "an array of codes and practices which effectively rest upon a cultural imperative to hear the causes of disputes in one way rather than another", meaning that Media are "not neutral unselective recorders of events" (Oliver and Maney, 2000: 464) Mainstream media predominantly tend to focus on violence and on the spectacular rather than on the message being conveyed .

When their homes are no longer there, they will be forced into extinction without their natural environment. Also, when ancient forests are destroyed the world's climate is directly impacted. When they are destroyed they release enormous amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. The 1997 fires in Indonesia's rainforest added as much carbon to the atmosphere as all the coal, oil, and gasoline burned that year in Western Europe.2 The logging industry is the principle contributing factor to these fires.3 This is a huge problem that is going to have an effect on the human population in the upcoming years.

They believe "that the restoration of whaling will help restore that discipline and pride" as well as help physically.

From monkey–wrenching to arson, these eco–warriors will do almost anything to protect mother earth from greedy individuals. However, many failed attempts and a negative stigma from the general public show that although their intentions are good, the actions are immoral and disadvantageous to the modern environmental movement.

Greenpeace formed to address the issue of whaling and nuclear testing, they took matters into their own hands by directly addressing the issues on the front line. Earth First! started a few years later in 1979, This organization pioneered the use of publicity stunts and vandalism to display their concern on environmental issues. Using sabotage for an ecologic reason is referred to as eco–tage, and has inspired other groups to do the same, often targeting logging, and development projects.

These activists were the founders of the "Don't Make a Wave Committee" which would turn into Greenpeace.

On that occasion, the usually rather quiet Canadian ecologist Bill Darnell made the off–hand reply: 'Make it a green peace.'" Wife of a US Navy veteran, Marie Bohlen came up with the idea to sail a boat out to the testing site to protest by mere presence.

Whale Persuasive Speech To many, the thought of eating whale meat might seem strange, as they are not accustomed to consuming this kind of meat, while to others eating cow (beef) is a strange and cruel thing to do. Around the globe, there are different ways that individuals support themselves financially, and different foods that are consumed. Cultural practices are what sets each group of people apart and make us unique, neighboring counties should not be allowed to change century–long practices as they see fit. Per the WDC "Whaling is cruel and unnecessary and must stop. Commercial whaling is effectively banned. Trade in whale products is forbidden. Yet, every year, Japan, Norway and Iceland kill around 1,500 whales between them. They defy international bans and global opinion and they hunt whales even though there is little demand for the meat." (WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, 2017) Since the WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, was founded in the US and eating whale is not a part of its culture, it comes across as cruel. The question that one needs to ask is what difference is there in catching a whale for food versus catching mackerel or consuming beef? A mackerel is a non–endangered species, but yet it is allowed. Japan and Norway should be allowed to continue their practices on a cultural exemption.

  • 33. Save The Whales Vs Save The Makah The topic of whale conservation and the Makah people's economy is not something that some audiences would jump at reading nor is it an easy topic to research and discuss in a formal paper. The techniques and strategies that authors use to write a paper that is worthy of a person's time differ from author to author but the main core of a paper is similar in most aspects. When it comes to researching the Makah economy a person must do so in a way that is purposeful and targeted at a specific audience; the three articles I read do just that. With a similar purpose of sharing economic and legal issues that the Makah people face, to an audience of professionals in a similar field, these three articles are able to raise similar questions about the...

For example the article told a story about a boy whose mother came into his classroom to talk about Native American whaling and culture but the parents got angry with her saying that she was promoting a religion. The principle of the school had to apologize to the families and promise an "event" like it would never occur again. This story showed the negative side of education and sharing culture and the author did not depict both sides or give an explanation he simply said that the parents were wrong. Despite the bias that exists in the article "After the Makah Whale Hunt" the article still addresses economic issues and is thus still similar to the other articles. Michael Marker's article still talked about how whale conservation changed the Makah's economy just as the other two articles did. The article still talked about the legal implications of the governments, and publics, action, to speak for the Makah people. Marker's article simply used a different approach where he talked about the people while the other articles talked more about the numerical and legal ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Nevertheless, the food and beverage industry has been relatively less affected when compared to other industries. This is mainly attributed to the fact that food products continue to be essential to consumers in spite of the slowdown. A comparison between the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones US Food and Beverage Index in 2008 is testimony to the resilient nature of this industry. In 2008, the S&P 500 declined 37.6 percent against a fall of 22.9 percent by the Dow Jones US Food and Beverage Index. (IMAP, 2010). Second, people are becoming more health–conscious and are now demanding nutritious products in which Nestle has the capability to produce. Company's response to these major opportunities is superior.

DDT was helping to save millions of lives from fatal disease, but there was minimal evidence as to how harmful this insecticide was for both humans and animals. Throughout the 1960's new research was discovered as to the impacts destroying the environment. Activists as well as politicians began to incorporate the value of protecting the environment into mainstream events. This gave the perfect opportunity for new organizations to arise, which over a dozen did. The most influential one being Greenpeace as it was the first organization to spread awareness about environmental issues, and is now the largest organization promoting a green and peaceful world. A decade before Greenpeace was established, leading environmentalist and biologist, Rachel Carson, published Silent Spring which shed light for the first time on the effects of pesticides. It challenged the belief that insecticides would not be harmful for people and animals. The impact industrialization had on the environment and on people's health, such as smog and pollution, was also brought up in the book.

However, their participations are almost affecting population's idea or cooperating with firms and even lobbying policies (O'Neil, 2009). These actions can be considered as effort of non–state actors, but not directly protect environment. Therefore, non–state actors alone is not enough to deal with environmental problems that require a dependence of them on state actors. This essay will present, analyze the functions of non–state actors and will illustrate the relation between them and states. It cannot be denied the important role of non–state actors in order to tackle environmental issues. Firstly, the propaganda tools and persuasions are an effective method of non–state actors in almost case for influencing people and businesses about the importance of protecting the environment. According to D'Estries (2015), environmental NGOs such as: WWF or Greenpeace recognized the attraction of social media, especially Facebook, hence, they used this as a tool to present their environmental campaigns and get a lot of 'like' button.

  • 38. Whaling Should Be Banned Aside from radical protests against whaling, other NGOs such as Greenpeace have "peacefully protested" the ongoing whaling, by avoiding "fleet wars" the SSCS partakes in. By 1973, Greenpeace confronted whaling fleets in response to the decline of blue whales and other species. In the midst of a peaceful battle to defend the whales, Greenpeace snapped a photograph of a dead sperm whale, burdening the public to the IWC in requests for justice. Responding to the incident in 1979, the IWC established the Indian Ocean Whale Sanctuary as a conservation measure, and in 1982 the IWC declared a Global Moratorium. The desire of the IWC to conserve their image of "anti–whalers" driven them to act immediately from the accusations over Japan. The establishment of the moratorium was a plan to cease commercial whaling in 1986 and in 2003 to allow for the ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Countries such as Norway, Iceland and Japan declared an objection to the moratorium (1982). By declaring an objection to the moratorium the countries are allowed to practice commercial whaling under their own regulation, while abiding to the rules of the International Convention established by the IWC (IWC). However, in the midst of the objection, Greenpeace activists came across one of the first provable cases of corruption that highlighted Japan as a suspect. In 2010 two of Greenpeace's activists known as "The Tokyo Two" exposed Japan's "scientific" whaling program by uncovering a whale–meat scandal. The "Tokyo Two" gentlemen uncovered one of the most controversial scandals in the history of whaling– commercial whaling. While the JWA's "Object" statement reads: "We are concerned with people having the wrong perception of whaling", lack of credibility grew once the "The Tokyo Two" busted their corruption. In 2008 the two of Greenpeace campaigners from Japan exposed corruption in the whaling industry. According to Greenpeace, 'prime cuts of whale ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 39. Climate Change : Causes And Effects Essay Climate change: Climate change is caused mainly by increase of human activity and industrialisation. For example, activities such as driving cars, farming, burning coal and cutting down forests produce greenhouse gases – mainly carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide which are emitted into the atmosphere, which create a layer of greenhouse gases around the earth and trap the sun 's heat. The earth over its 4.5 billion–year history has naturally fluctuated from ice ages to extreme droughts, however in the last 10,000 years or so, the climate became much more stable and sustainable for human beings to live. However, in the past 50–100 years, particularly in the 21st century, with increased human activity like agriculture, transportation, etc, green houses gases have increased majorly and have caused extreme events such as increased floods, storms, cyclones, droughts and landslips. The weather is not only warming up but is also becoming much colder in areas in an extremely fast rate. Climate change is occurring worldwide, as it is effecting the earth directly. However, these are areas on Earth that are already feeling the impact of climate change more than others. For example, Satellite measurements have showed that the waters of Australia 's Great Barrier Reef have warmed by 0.2 degrees Celsius on average over the past 25 years which have led to a decline in the amount of seafloor covered in coral.

Wildlife seems to be traded all around us. It is used not only as pets and trophies but also for food, leather, home decorations and medical purposes. Wildlife is an important part of ecological community as it plays an important role in the environment. I know that conservation and management of wildlife is a very complex issue, but to save wildlife, we should take some positive actions, which requires changes in our life style and changes in our general way of thinking so that the future generations of both wildlife and human can enjoy it. Any actions threatening wildlife and its habitat must be banned right now. Introduction Today more and more wildlife is becoming extinct or in danger of extinction for various reasons. There are different types of wildlife exploitation, with varying effects on the welfare of the animals involved< worldanimal.net, n.d>.
