Collapse Assignment 2 - Short and Smart
I think there is a possible collapse in our everyday life, with prices changing unsteadily and people changing the way the live and spend money to conserve and save. our old world is falling apart and a new age is coming, maybe with or with our humans. there is many things that affect us each day and by changing one of those things over a period of time could affect how we all should live a good and meaningful life to the end.
in class we mainly focused on the oil peak and the way it has affected our society growth. because of this prediction the non-renewable resource of fossil fuel will whither and dry. then out life's which has been mainly based around oil will collapse and a better or worse world will grow from this. "exports from any particular nation can drop to zero disturbingly quickly." Peak Oil Primer there were three scenario's which Andy Snyder said could happen around this point,
-drastic decline where all the oil will run out fast and people will fight over the resources
-steady decline where the fossil fuel will run out steadily and lead to a collapse with nothing done about it
-a loop where we will cut our dependency of fossil fuel slowly and lead to a better or same society with out the use of much oil.
Many people are preparing for the oil peak but since it has most likely happened some preparations will be a necessity, since in our would we humans like to waste and use up extra resources, since we think their will be plenty more somethings like raising oil awareness will not help the cause but only waste more oil.
In the 4 Corners Video video they saw it is because we are unprepared , or they are hoping that the oil peak will happen a few decades from now. Because of our fast growing population also affect how this world uses oil, the more people there is the more oil is needed to help the live. Some of the experts there also state that they thought the oil prices will plumed down back to 30 dollars a barrel but it new reached that low, instead others think there isn't enough investment to drill the resources we need to fuel the economy.
But in class i still wonder what else in this world will bring out downfall, like Easter island it was their over use and waste of resources which fuel their everyday lives. but i think there was some other unknown reason which bring the great civilizations down to the murder and killing of each other. Andy Snyder talked about how a solar flare might wipe out all of the earth electricity and without power the world would slowly fall back and to the more calmer and less fossil fuel dependent time the world is like today. There should be more reason and some of them could come before the world runs low on oil and we might turn out to what Easter island looks like: i barren waste land with short trees and few wild life.
Today we depend on our resources to fuel our lives and we are just wasting it in mindless squabbles, until we can find the reason to fix this problem with no real consumption of a lot of oil it will save our society and it is inevitable since we are all stuck in this endless cycle and when ever we try to break out of this cycle we just fall back in and waste more resources.

Eastern Island to the United States
In the Easter Island the people civilized and destroyed the island. The once lush green land was destroyed by humans’ ambition to rise to the top and be the best. They over used the resources and tampered with nature to fit their need too much. Since their society didn’t grow fast enough and they wouldn’t gain metal tool farming wasn’t sufficient enough. With the lack of food and supplies these lead the large downfall to the great complex civilization. By basing their culture around wealth and power thus lead to not only the destruction of the culture but to the nature which dwelled there long before they settled. The use of statues were overrated and seemed conceded. To waste so much extra food which could have been used to grow their great civilization? 50-500 men to move a huge rock some place else, what a waste. A rock is a rock and it served no purpose to their survival. The “rock” only lead to the separation of classes and the down fall of men. They do so much to carve and move a large rock and not spend more time fishing in deeper sea levels. They also trusted one person to make things all better, by trusting one person which you can make the change yourselves if they spend more time on the “rock” then their own food and health.
This is connected to our civilization since we grow more to fill our pocket with riches than with food. We treat our animals in an abuse and bread a super germ which can survive the antibiotics. We create war and poison which kills more nature than do harm to the human population. Destroying un-renewable resources for silly personal gains like driving 5 block or using hair products which harm out air. Soon the domestic animals will be wiped out like many species on the Easter Island and we wont be able to grow as much food. We will become savages and fight each other for survival and there is no turning back. Out population has gotten so large that we have to make artificial food, our workers get hurt doing unsafe paid jobs like the men pulling the “rock” and getting their fingers cut off. Our workers getting their fingers cut off making food for out too big and still growing population. The Eastern Island soil eroding and our soil un-useable unless chemically made fertilizer is used. We as a nation is plummeting like the Eastern Island and with out artificial technology we wouldn’t survive, soon our technology will be outdated and we wont be able to save ourselves.

Final Food Assignment
Assignment
Here in America we as people have been waging war not only on our self but against mother nature her self. As our technology increase so does our power over the natural elements. Especially in modern agriculture we have used technology against ourselves and against the cycles of life. By creating new technology we have ran over and manipulated the laws of nature with unnatural creations. We use to treat our own kind the same way but we find it "unjust", then what is really justice.
In the book Omnivores Dilemma it talks about how we are eating the remains of the world war. In world war two poison gas was created by Germany in order to win battles and the murder thousand of innocent people. this has been converted and changed into the thing we used today as pesticide. it poisons and kills nature in order to grow big "fresh" crops to feed our vast growing population. We as humans mark it as unjust to use biological warfare on each other since it is harmful and hazers. But we have not stopped using it on the nature itself. my keeping our own population alive and lowing other populations only puts the world balance unequal.
Every thing is apart of nature and whatever is done to one is done to all.
In the book there was also chemically made fertilizer, how we don't let the soil replenish it self but we inject it in to the soil it self. as humans we inject unnatural chemicals in to our body's to make us look better or feel better like steroids. it make the person feel better but once it begins they can never stop, like the soil. once natural but tainted and now's there is no turning back.
By looking at animal cruelty and the meatrix videos we enslave nature and make it do out bidding. back then when many different civilizations were enslaved by the whites they treated them poorly to gain the highest profit, and they killed them when they have no more use for them. animals in large farms are treated poorly, with small spaces and feed non organic food. they are harmed to grow and to be sold, as long as they can still bring a profit to the company. like slave we don't care if they have disorders or are sick, once their time comes they will be killed. its all in human nature to hurt the weak, with slaves or with mistreated animals. as long as there is a large reward at the end of the road, we wont care who we hurt to get there.
in the "zooooom" video it shows massive machines used to plant and harvest the thousands of plants. it like tanks running over others, the giant wheels trampling over plants and soil giving it no time to re fertilize and to bring the company more profit.
this act of war aganist nature is unjust either way, we dont stop this since it helps us curently but our food system is horiable. what we do to ourselfs we also do it to nature and it harms us all in different ways.
