Saving Places - I Thought I Saw

I do not know if i am supposed to write this text, and so I will answer the questions very short.
We have been given the task to think about the poem Saving Places - I Thought I Saw. When i see the poem I think that the writer use objects and animals humanity like and appreciate(?) today. I am reffering to "I thought I saw a proud elephant" and "I thought I saw the mighty buffalo". By using this way of writing to get compassion and focus, wich is important in poems.

Audun Lysbakken er minister i barne- og familiedepartementet og han er beskyldt for korrupsjon. Han har gitt penger sine egne parti-kamerater uten å sjekke med myndighetene først.

1.mars startet VM i Tyskland og Ole Einar Bjørndalen var med i mixet skiskyting og etter at han hadde skutt den første blinken og truffet, registrerte ikke maskinen at den hadde truffet noe som førte til at Bjørndalen måtte bli værende for å skyte ekstra skuddene (3) og ta en strafferunde.

Task 6 (Mississippi Burning)

Task 6

 Back in January we were assigned to write a text about a selectable subject. The subject I chose was President Barack Obama and all the hatred against black people. So I decided to talk about USAs President and a bit about the racism in USA around 1960s. The reason I picked the President task, was that I knew a bit about Barack and thought it would be fun to reflect more about a subject that many people have been discussing.

Obama is now the current president of USA. In the 1960s this was impossible to do due to the hatred against black persons. The black people were treated badly, so they realized they needed a redemption from the iron grip they had been controlled by.

Since 1960 there have been big changes in a lot of countries, but USA had the greatest change. They went from discrimination to allowing them (black people) to preform songs, music etc. and some succeeded. That means USA for example went from not sharing bathrooms to black people to give them their own bathrooms.

Today many black people live in USA and some are still being thrown around, but racism is almost gone, which is very good.

Barack Obama made a lot of people happy when he became president. His speeches were very convincing.

Homework week 4

Today we had a task to go a little more deeper into pollution, habitat destruction and Arne Næss`s ecosophy(?)(A mix between ecology and philosophy), and try to link them together.

The ecosophy is basically based on that every living organism do not deserve to be killed or not being pushed around.

If I understand pollution right then it is a technique Arne Næss may use to make persons more engaged to his themes and subjects by showing them the truth about our world and how much we could have done and can do to make it different. There are a few texts in Searching 10 which are very useful.

The links in these cases are obviously. Arne Næss does all he can manage to save earth habitat and recycle all items that may be used again, while the rainforest is being chopped down. As said in "Searching 10" 75 000 trees could have been spared if the Sunday edition of New York Times had been cancelled. The ecosophy says that "We need to stop and change course" which is very correct from where I see it. The destruction of a habitat is only one problem the other problem is that the animals in the reserves are killed. This is also mentioned in the ecosophy by saying that hunting for wild animals must be stopped. In the modern days you need to think a lot about what you do and if it is necessary or very important.

Another important subject is the ozone layer (who stops the dangerous UV rays to reach us) is being teared apart because of our CO² outcome. This is a seriously threat we need to handle now.

In these times the world need all the help it can get, and I think that Arne Næss is being a great role model and starting to change our course.

Hei :D
Vi har fått i oppgave å skrive et innlegg på bloggen som en vurderingssituasjon. I denne oppgaven skal vi ha med etikk, moral og andre etiske tekster f.eks. pliktetikk, moraletikk. Oppgaven er:

Du lever i Øst-Tyskland under den kalde krigen. Du har en datter som skal begynne på universitetet. Hun har gode karakterer og alt ligger til rette for at hun skal komme inn på Universitetet i Berlin. Så sier imidlertidig Stasi at du må bli informant for dem ellers vil ikke din datter få plassen på universitetet. Hvilket valg tar du?
(Hentet fra ealnes.blogspot.com)

Jeg har valgt å sette meg inn i farsrollen:
Det som ville være naturlig for faren er å si at han vil informere, men bare gi meningsløs informasjon. Det å gi feilaktig opplysninger er  galt, og når han i tillegg har avgitt et løfte om å gi sann informasjon blir det også moralskt galt. Ettersom ca 91 000 mennesker jobbet for Stasi og ca 100 000 mennseker var uoffisielle informanter (Stasi var en etterretningsorganisajon) må noen ha sagt ganske mye.
Det du også kan velge er å ikke bli informant slik at du ikke lyver, men du hindrer de du er glad i, i å få velge selv. Det du da må tenke på i denne situasjonen er om du vil tenke på andre rundt deg, på deg selv eller om du vil gjøre det som er best for alle.

Moraletikk, pliktetikk og konsekvensetikk er viktig i denne saken. Moraletikk: Det er ikke riktig å tyste på naboer og henge dem ut. Pliktetikk: Ettersom at du legger ed om at du skal gi rett informasjon har du ikke lov til å ljuge eller gi gal informasjon. Konsekvensetikk: På begge punktene må du tenke hva som gir konsekvenser for deg, venner og familie.

Jeg ville valgt å tenke moraletikk. Hvis jeg haddde valgt å gi informasjon til Stasi (hemmelig politi som rekkrutterte personer til å bli spioner) ville jeg ha sett bort fra pliktetikk og gitt dem gal informasjon. Jeg tror dette ville hatt minst konsekvenser ovenfor alle bekjente.
