Deep One

In modern society, no matter in real life or in the online world, advertisements are ubiquitous and incessantly remind people of their social status as consumers. Among the advertisements, some of them try to convince people of donation to charity, some of them aim to win votes for political groups while most of them attempt to promote the sale of products. With the advertising influences, people are caught up in the vicious circle of constantly consuming goods, even goods they do not really need or they may already have. In most instances, people abandon their old ones when they get the new ones, which is a kind of waste and burden for society. Planned obsolescence and perceived obsolescence mainly lead to the behavior in that producers of goods intentionally lure people to consume new goods while people also subjectively perceive they need replacements. In the United States, electronic products are typically affected by planned obsolescence and perceived obsolescence, and this not only happens in the United States but China as well. Planned obsolescence means merchandisers intentionally…

Deep ecology is a “new metaphysics that places humans in nature not above it”, “a total intermingling of person with planet” (RE, 92) and it “promotes a sense of human place within the household of nature” (RE, 93). It is resonating with the ecocentric part of partnership ethics that humans are part of the nature and are not superior to other species in any way. We cannot selfishly develop simply for profit or social goods, and cut trees down and release pollutants to the biosphere recklessly.…

attempted to cover-up their involvement. Woodward and Bernstein spent majority of their time organizing all of their information before publishing the final paper. They investigated different sources to gather information about the scandal. Both Woodward and Bernstein had allegations that the break-in was peculiar, but with no proof they did not have a story. Woodward and Bernstein looked into the legal knowledge of what limits they could stretch. Both writes were aware that the break-in…

They are the eight principles that all deep ecologists follow. The fifth principle states, present human interference with the nonhuman world is excessive, and the situation is rapidly worsening (The Anarchist Library). For example, 137 species of animals are becoming extinct each day, which adds up to 50,005 species disappearing every year, because of deforestation (Oocities). If we don’t start doing something about this issue the world’s animal population will become extinct, and that’s only…

If nothing else, Bernstein and Woodward were persistent with finding all the information they needed to support their story. One of the difficulties they faced when writing their article was getting the appropriate people to give information on the issue. The two would often find the people who had the information, but they would not be able get their source to speak on the subject. To take it further, when they did find people who wanted to speak on the topic, they would often refuse to go on…

Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were the two major journalists during the Watergate trial who proved Nixon to be involved in the grand scheme. This caused them to become instantly well-known across the world. They approached the situation in a way that no other journalist or person in the media had before. The dynamic duo used a secret source to compile information on what happened from an inside source known as "Deep Throat." This anonymous source changed how people viewed journalism. People…

This was the time of space exploration interest. According to one science correspondent, “IT IS a sobering fact that more people have walked on the moon's surface than have visited Earth's lowest spot. During six Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972, 12 humans did the moonwalk. Just two have plumbed Earth's ultimate depth” (Kaplan). With more recent exploration and data, the Mariana Trench has brought awareness for the need of exploration of our oceans which cover seventy percent of our Earth’s…

For example, Woodward and Bernstein were in the Library of Congress sorting out card files and the camera slowly starts to zoom out to express the difficulty the two reporters were facing almost like looking for “a needle in a haystack”. Similarly, in another scene, Woodward meets Deep Throat are in an underground parking garage with minimal lighting creating the secrecy of the source feeding Woodward the leads to the story. Furthermore, the visual call is used to create a double emphasis…

economic class and face-to-face interaction. Similarly, one of the major differences between traditional physical public spheres and the Deep Web public sphere is that of discourse, which users rely on, and which follow many of the of the rhetoric properties of the author’s rhetoric public sphere. For example, the author discusses the permeable boundaries of rhetoric public spheres, and how people outside territorial groups can contribute to the discourse. This coincides…
