  • The Concept of Eco Terrorism Essay

    ...Eco Terrorism Eco-terrorism is the term used to describe the violence in the interests of environmentalists. There have been cases when environmentalists have inflicted damage to the industrial factories, due to the fact that, they cause pollution and other environmental problems. According to Manning (2012), “Eco-terrorism can be defined as the act of violence or sabotage against person and property commits and support animal right activist.” There are some organizations that participate in it, such as, Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and Animal Liberation Front (ALF). These organizations managed to burn down a ski resort and blow up a laboratory among other things. On the other hand, some groups such as the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society are labeled as eco-terrorists although they do not commit such acts of violence against humans- they do not attempt to injure or kill people, but only provoke people through property. This has led to a debate that touches on whether or not to classify these actions as "terrorist" or not. The FBI has given the environmentalists a definition ‘the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or property by an environmentally-oriented, sub national group for environmental-political reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature.’ John Lewis, a top FBI official says, ‘The number one domestic terrorism...

  • Essay on Free Willy Effect: Eco-Terrorism in Western Media

    ...Factors of Eco-Terrorism and Glamorization in Western Media Delaney Freedman Jackson 6522738 Friday July 25th, 2014 Dr. Tamara Kotar POL 3162 A On Monday October 20th, 1998 the autonomous group Earth Liberation Front openly admitted to burning down a Vail INC ski resort in the ski-town, Vail Colorado. The group created roughly $12 million dollars in damages in the name of the Lynx population that dwells in the surrounding areas of the Vail Ski resort. In an message that was sent to KCFR FM Colorado Public Radio in Denver, the ELF stated: “On behalf of the lynx, five buildings and four ski lifts at Vail were reduced to ashes on the night of Sunday, October 18th. Vail, Inc. is already the largest ski operation in North America and now wants to expand even further. The 12 miles of roads and 885 acres of clearcuts will ruin the last, best lynx habitat in the state. Putting profits ahead of Colorado's wildlife will not be tolerated. This action is just a warning. We will be back if this greedy corporation continues to trespass into wild and unroaded areas. For your safety and convenience, we strongly advise skiers to choose other destinations until Vail cancels its inexcusable plans for expansion.1" This attack was one of the largest and most expensive domestic-terrorist attacks against the United States in United States history-before 9/11. The Vail Colorado ski-resort burring...

  • Umberto Eco, Aristotle and Dexter: an in-Depth Narrative Analysis Essay

    ...Overview When it comes to narrative analysis, there are various theories available to the researcher. Here follows a brief summary of some of the most prominent theorist’s theories of this field. Umberto Eco’s concepts  Binary oppositions – According to Eco there are fourteen constant binary groups as depicted by Wigston (2009a:292). The first four groups relate to two sets of two opposing characters in the narrative. The other ten groups are related to the different values depicted by the aforementioned characters.  Play situations – In accordance with Eco’s theory, there are nine different functions. Depending on the narrative in question, these functions do not need to follow each other chronologically, and can also be combined as well as repeated (Wigston 2009b:176), but each must be present.  Manichean ideology – Based on a Persian religious philosophy that proposes a balance exists between good and evil. Eco used this term to describe the stereotypical differences between the two characters set out in the binary oppositions. (Wigston 2009a:293) 4.3.3 Limitations and values of Umberto Eco’s theory of narrative analysis As mentioned before the overview of the theorist involved in narrative analysis, Eco originally formulated his theory to determine why the James Bond novels were so popular. In other words, the narrative in question was in printed form. However, modern media has many additional codes other than...
