29 Februarty 2012 Save The Whale: Campaign Speech
Hello fellow people, I am here today to state the objective, which I am running for, and my reasons. Many of you for sure are familiar with one of the biggest sea creatures on the planet, the whale. I would like to run for the president of the save the whales industry, because I have the utmost intelligence over whales and Ill make sure that not a single whale will become extinct ever again in history. I want to run for this office because, I care for whales a lot and I just believe that we humans should treat them more kindly. While we can bring hope for the whales, we can also bring despair. More attention should be directed towards the saving of whales, because they are about to become extinct caused by pollution, environmental contamination, and habitat degradation as well as human hunting, which can be stopped, therefore I’d like to help these marveling creatures out.

So first of all, I am the head of several other wildlife conservatories and fundraiser clubs devoted to saving endangered wildlife animals, therefore I believe that I am a well trust worthy candidate for the president of the save the whale industry. For the first major issue that I would like to discuss, is that whales worldwide are endangered to becoming extinct because of us humans in need of the good sources that whales bring us. Whales have been prized by humans for their good source of food, oil and a whole host of other products. I would like to set up a proposal to the government to convince them to ban the hunting of whales. Most areas have already banned the hunting of whales, but it still is a major issue today in other parts. Alongside that I would also like to set up posters and signs devoted to saving whales. Other than the issue of human hunting, Pollution and contamination have also been a major issue. The pollution and contamination of

    The destruction caused by Mother Nature cannot be prevented, but what can change is the destruction we humans are causing. I feel that it is important to try and reach out to every individual to get them to fully understand the dilemma, we need to make the public more aware of the situation at hand and its severity on marine animals and plants, and we also need to emphasize the affects it could end up having on humans and society. In order to do this I think it would be important to start small and work my out. Another aspect that would help greatly is to create more marine reserves, which protects the habitat and the animals and plants. In marine reserves no mining is allowed, no fishing, and no fish farming. (MarineBio, n.d.). The habitat are preserved and safe. This is not going to save all marine habitats, but any positive action, is a step in the right direction. The first steps I would take in educating the greater population would be to find those who want to conserve marine habitats and who are willing to dedicate their time to the project. Once I have a team built in my town we will work together to set up meetings in the neighborhoods, and at the schools. Going about setting up meetings would take a great deal of time because my team and I would have to research the affects we have had on marine…

    Bloody Ice Analysis

    • 1017 Words
    • 5 Pages

    “Bloody Ice” is an essay arguing against the mass slaughter of Harp Seals. The author reveals the legal limits for the amount of seals allowed to be killed each year as stated by the U.S. Seal Protection Act and pleads for the further reduction of those limits. The passage argues that the inevitable extinction of the animals and the inhumane methods by which they are killed are cause for severe regulations on seal hunting. In the conclusion of the paper, it is suggested that ranching the seals would reduce impact on seal population and cut down dependency on the seal industry. The essay starts off well, but generally lacks in persuasively arguing its point and is therefore ineffective as a whole.…

    The history of whaling has been consistently marked by irregularities and breaches despite an international concern about the protection of whales for over fifty years. From the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling in London in 1949, which approved the creation of the International Whaling Commission (IWC), has held 56 meetings (in addition to five stages) to discuss the future of these animals (McMillan, 1999).…

    The International Whaling Commission (IWC) is a worldwide organisation accountable for regulations on whaling. Under the guidance of this organisation, its member countries meet annually on a regular basis and discuss issues regarding whaling (IWC 2011). After long-term discussions, Japan’s whaling practices have been restricted, and Japan is currently only allowed to perform whaling in the name of research in the northwestern Pacific and the Antarctic. (Morikawa 2009:5). Since this commercial whaling moratorium, Japan strives for the ‘’resumption of whaling based on research and scientific surveys’’ (ibid., p.3). A couple of significant facts suggest that Japan’s stated argument is a smokescreen to hide income–based motives. This essay will question Japan’s pro-whaling argument, the right to conduct whaling as a historical and traditional practice, and argue whether it is well founded to justify the practice of commercial whaling. The Japanese pro-whaling policies debatable nature will be presented from three main aspects – cultural, environmental and monetary.…

    The paragraph most effective was the first paragraph, it talks speaks of wills. I found it the most effective because it is a subject that should concern everyone. I found it interesting because it states that everyone needs a will and that is true. Not everyone has a will and the writer speaks of the tragedies that happened to him because of his father not possessing a will. Sentence variety means using different styles of sentences, either they are long or short, or use different rhythms. The writer of the sentence was a bit boring and he did not have a good rhythm, after I was done reading the short paragraph, I became annoyed. The author of the paragraph did not have a good rhythm because he became a little repetitive at the end of the paragraph. Throughout the middle of the paragraph the author states that his father did not have a will, at the end, the author talks about not being able to start college soon enough and once again, he mentions his father did not have a will.…
