Walrus

1. Dr. Sandel talked about many things during his speech. He talked about how our society is turning into a market society. He explained that a market society is a place where everything is up for sale. People are trying to commoditize everything in life. We should worry about this because market societys hurts the poor it also crowds out the value people put on objects and tasks. These market societies and creating inequality. One of the topics Dr. Sandel covered that I found troubling was the Inuit people and their walrus hunting quota. In the 19th century the Canadian government banned walrus hunting for everyone except the Inuit people. The Inuit are able to kill a certain quota of walruses each year in order to preserve their way of life. Recently the Inuit people asked the Canada government if they could sell their…

Last month, the trump administration refused to list the Pacific walrus as an endangered species. The need to place these walruses on the list has become a growing focus for many conservation biologists due to the uncertainties surrounding how climate change could impact walrus populations. The Pacific walrus depends on the currently receding sea ice for breeding, feeding, nursing their young, and avoiding predators. With the current climate change models, its predicted that the sea ice the…

The Clueless Communicators As written in 2012 by Schermerhorn, Osborn, Uhl-Bien, and Hunt, “The Poorly Informed Walrus” is a story concerning communication barriers experienced between the leader of a group and his subordinates (p. w-118). In this fable concerning communication, a wise old walrus attempts to lead his herd through the demanding everyday issues they encounter regularly. Food supplies are dwindling, the beaches are receding, another herd enters their territory, and members of the…

The Pacific walrus, or in scientific terms: Odobenus rosmarus divergens, is a large flippered marine mammal.

Have you seen those adorable mini walrus puppies everyone is so crazy about these days? If you have, you probably have been smitten by their cuteness. And you’re wondering “Where can I get one?” But today we’re going to talk about something different. We are going to talk about the mini walrus temperament. When you get a dog, the most important thing you have to consider is whether the breed is the right one for you. Some dogs are energetic and need a lot of exercises. Others are lazy, and you…

The first act promptly begins with Lear’s surprising announcement about relinquishing his power to his three daughters. He pledges “our largest bounty may extend” (1.1.57) to whomever loves him the most. Beginning with Lear’s major discourse throughout the play, we get the sense that power is the dominant force that's at the centre of this family. Lear states first “to shake all cares and business from our [Lear’s] age”(1.1.41) and then taking that boundless power to his children, where he can…

The fracturing of the kingdom into three and it’s poor state help Goneril and Regan to further paint a façade that Lear is easily misled by. Therefore, the craftiness and desire for power from both Goneril and Regan are clearly shown when they both shower King Lear with praises. Goneril goes first and says, “Sir, I love you more than word can wield the matter” (1.1.55). It is interesting when Goneril addresses her father as sir, as it shows a divide between Lear and his daughters; similarly,…

The location of the play takes place in Britain. When you read the first act you are introduced to the main story plot. We see King in a state of giving up his throne equally to his 3 daughters; Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia.

She is banished for this, leaving all the land to the two oldest. King Lear starts…

What is the price that one must pay for power? King Lear tells two parallel stories that focus on obtaining or maintaining political and social power. On one side is King Lear that has grown old and is splitting the kingdom between his daughters. In order to do this, he asks his daughters who loves him the most and why—two of them lie and one is banished for telling the truth, Cordelia. Lear, sadly, finds out that his daughters lied to him in order to gain the land of the kingdom and he regrets…
