In this review, we will discuss Will Smith's movie "After Earth" directed by M. Night Shyamalan. Smith’s movie is about a military father and his teenage son. One thousand years after cataclysmic events forced humanity's escape from Earth, Nova Prime has become mankind's new home. Legendary General Cypher Raige returns from an extended tour of duty to his estranged family, ready to be a father to his 13-year-old son, Kitai. When an asteroid storm damages Cypher and Kitai's craft, they crash-land on a now unfamiliar and dangerous Earth. As his father lies dying in the cockpit, Kitai must trek across the hostile terrain to recover their rescue beacon. In Kitai’s whole life, he has wanted nothing more than to be a ranger like his father. After watching Smith’s movie, we shall be claiming that human can fly on the sky. Besides, we also agree that space does not contain oxygen. In the movie, we do agree that earth contain gravitational force. Moreover, the love of a father is one of the moral value that we agree in this movie. However, we disagree with some points in the movie especially the decrement of the temperature in the earth. Other than that, we also disagree the function of the video-audio system.

In this movie, the main characters are General Cypher Raige and his son Kitai Raige.

    The Red Earth: An Analysis of Colonial France Colonial France in the early 20th century was a mass of contradictions. It was a republic dedicated to the rights of man; freedom, self-determination, and equal rights. However, it had a sprawling colonial empire stretching from Algeria in the northwest of Africa to the steamy jungles of Madagascar and Vietnam. The latter of which first experienced French colonization in the late 1850s (Herzog 9.3). Beginning after the 1858 war that saw the capture of Saigon, the French over the decades would gradually, over the decades, expand their influence over all of Vietnam Laos, and Cambodia.…

    1. The large mainstream environmentalism groups started to compromise too much with regulatory agencies and bureaus, starting with the Glen Canyon Dam project. This began an estrangement with the mainstreams that culminated in the rise of more militant groups like Earth First! Glen Canyon represented what was fundamentally wrong with the country's conservation policies: arrogant government officials motivated by a quasireligious zeal to industrialize the natural world, and a diffident bureaucratic leadership in the mainstream environmental organizations that more or less willingly collaborated in this process.<br><br>The mainstream environmental groups and government held the premise that mankind should control and manage the natural world.…

    The book I read from the New Earth Archive was In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan. The book analyzed the foods we eat and talks about the traditional American diet. It says that this western diet is more harmful than beneficial despite the breakthrough in nutirionism. The reader soon learns that this growing obsession with nutritionism is ironically hurting our diet more than it is helping it. This obsession has led us to scientifically alter food to boost the level of vitamins and nutrients in our food; to make it “healthier.”…

    1. Anton Rabie and Ronnen Harary created a product that allowed customers to express their own creativity through styling grass hair that sprouted from a small humanlike head. They called this product Earth Buddy and the popularity soon spread like wildfire. Product sales started through Toronto-area flower shops and gift stores but as demand increased they were able to start distributing Earth Buddy at K-Mart, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart and stores alike. However, the production of Earth Buddies were time consuming and very dependent on the weather. The production process had a total of seven steps. The first step was filling which included six machines that filled the basic round heads with nylon stocking, sawdust and grass seed. The next step operators shaped the product’s eye-glasses. The rest of the process included moulding the face, placing the glasses on the nose, and gluing the buddies eyes in. Next the buddies were sent to the painter who finished off the buddy with a fabric paint mouth. The last step was to place the product on shelving to dry. In the right conditions, this step took about five hours, however, if humidity levels were higher, drying time increased to seven hours.…

The novel focuses on the nature of human civilization and it is r rebuilt. Throughout the opening on the novel, Ish reminisces about how life was before the great disaster, making note of changes because the population is significantly decreased. At the beginning of chapter eight when Ish breaks into the college and relives his days in the library “He had been in the library hundreds of times before, but now under the changed conditions. he felt a strange new sense of awe, here rested in storage the wisdom by which civilization had been built, and could be…

    The paper looks at how Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and Andre Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972) make art cinema out of the popular genre of science fiction. Further, it focuses on the specific ways the two directors deploy to construct extraterrestrial space to explore key concerns of science fiction, including the relation of humans to technology, human to the alien or non-human, as well as the relationship of the present to the future. The specific constructions of those films shape a unique experience of extraterrestrial space for characters and audiences. In the process, each director offered a critical engagement with science fictional aspirations at a time when space travel was exciting and new.…

    We should all be doing our part. This world we live in is in a downward spiral and a change has got to be made. Michael Reynolds is an architect who is trying to make a difference in the world we live in today. He sees the problems we face and has continually managed to create alternative styles of living to better the situations at hand. What is an Earthship you might ask? Well if asked by the creator himself he would define it as, “Independent vessels to sail on the seas of tomorrow.” (Rose, 2004) That may seem quite crazy to most but Reynolds is thinking out of the box and ahead of this time. An Earthship is a self sufficient home in that it requires the use of no utilities. Heated by the sun and using solar and wind power this snug little home has caught the attention of many who struggle in today’s world of high energy costs. Reynolds feels that people should not be homeless as they could live on a small amount of money, if off the grid and relying on the resources the earth has to provide. The primary reason for Reynolds was seeing the unused resources filling the land fills. Reynolds saw this as building material. These Earthships are created completely from recycled resources such as tires and aluminum cans and glass bottles. “Packed with earth, stacked like bricks and plastered over, tires make the perfect building material, says Reynolds.” (Rose) To maintain the naturalism in the home Earthships are built half buried in the earth and half out. The excavated dirt comes to the roof on the northern side of the home. Reynolds states that, “What we are trying to do with these Earthships is make a way for human life to live as intelligently as plant and animal life.” (Knipe, 1991)…
