    PETER WATKINS : Well after all the planning in the preproduction, we started filming between August and September 1970, in the San Bernadino desert about one hundred or so kilometres from Los Angeles. However, in the film we say this is the set of the Bear Mountain Nation Punishment Park in California. The scenes in the film are cross cut between a large military tent on the edge of the park, where dissidents are judged and sentenced by a civilian emergency tribunal - and the desert, where we follow a group of convicted dissidents are carrying out their sentences of having to cross the sixty miles of harsh terrain in the extreme heat to reach the American flag at the end. While under pursuit from the law enforcement officers.…

    I stopped by the city park in Jerome, Idaho on Saturday, April 2nd. The reason I picked this park was because it was a very popular place I took my kids growing up. Where I am the Children’s Ministry Director at our church, I thought this was the perfect point to find kids interacting and playing. This park has been popular over the years and I thought it would be a good place to start. When I arrived at the park, other than a family that was throwing a birthday party, adults and kids were scarce. The park had not been managed, granted, this was the first really nice warm Saturday we had had in awhile, but for it being so nice, there were very few people in the park. The reason I mentioned that the park had not been managed is because all winter…

    Muir and Abbey

    It is difficult to find writers more passionate about the natural environment than John Muir and Edward Abbey. Both Muir in a section from his book A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf and Abbey in a chapter titled Polemic: Industrial Tourism and the National Parks channel anger and frustration at the environmental policies of their time into literature that argues fervently for preservation of national parks and other areas of wilderness. In Hetch Hetchy Valley, Muir reverently describes in vivid detail the beautiful landscape of a river valley in Yosemite called the Hetch Hetchy Valley, condemning anyone who supports a government plan to dam the Hetch Hetchy River and flood the valley. In a famous quote Muir says, “no holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man” (Muir 112). Abbey employs a highly sarcastic and satirical tone to outline the consequences of further expansion of roads and highways into national parks. He aims to incite anger with sharp language and insults to draw the reader in emotionally. “This is a courageous view, admirable in its simplicity and power… It is also quite insane” (Abbey 422). Both pieces easily stand alone, but when looked at together they suggest even more strongly that it is deceptive and dishonest to advertise industrialization of wilderness as any kind of favorable progress for society. This “progress” does not actually benefit anyone. Those who proclaim this as their reason for supporting industrial development are more likely motivated by the short-term economic benefits they will receive.…

    National parks definitely have a big significance in American history that is not even a question. What is questioned is just how important national parks are. People like Wallace Stegner, or Ken Burns believe that national parks are America’s best idea; however, people like Clay Jenkinson, director of The Dakota Institute, or Alan Spears, of High County News, would agree that National parks are indeed not the greatest idea of America. Clay Jenkinson directly said, “National parks are not America’s best idea” (The National Parks; America’s Best Idea). Obviously it is a split issue on just how important the National Parks really are but clearly National Parks is not America’s greatest ide.…

    There has come to my attention recently an arrising conflict over the possibility of a dog park being built in Muscatine Iowa. There are always many sides to any story and this situation seems to prove that statement. I however remain firm in my opinion that a dog park would be an asset to any commuinuty large or small. I have countless reasons for this and will share a few of the most important.…

    When I think of the word natural, my mind escapes to a serene wooded place, rife with life and fauna. I use the term to define ideas and concepts as predetermined, or in a state of purity. Author and teacher Noel Sturgeon argues in her essay “The Politics of the Natural in U.S. History and Popular Culture” that nature is a word teeming with social and political quandaries that have led people to misuse the term, often to the advantage of white males and other powerful groups throughout history. Sturgeon expertly dissects the word “nature” from a variety of angles by examining the political, cultural, and sociological impact the word has made through its misuse throughout the years. Although I largely agree with her position, I find some of…

    The purpose of juxtaposing old footage with more contemporary footage is actually to emphasize the second big idea I have mentioned. The director wants the audiences to realize that we can still see the violence and discrimination in the current society. There were people holding posters like “Negros don’t you want to be white” in the past, and there are police brutality toward African Americans now. Juxtaposition allows the audiences to realize the similarity of the current time and the past. The United States is still prospering while the African Americans are suffering. I agree with the message that has been conveyed through the juxtaposition, but I have to admit that discrimination toward African Americans is much better now than the past. Also, I understand the fact that it will take a lot of time for any countries to achieve a hundred percent racial equality, especially for such a diverse country like the United States. It is always difficult to accept people who are different with us, and it’s a big progress already for African Americans to gain the freedom they have…

    Central Park Reflection

    Imagine a topographical view of Manhattan in the early 1800’s; all you see is squares and streets. This was Clinton’s Commissioner Plan- to level all of Manhattan to make way for streets and buildings. However, what were not taken to account were parks and recreational areas. This would all change in the 1850’s as landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted architect Calvert Vaux won the right to build their project- the Greensward Plan (CentralParkHistory). This plan would become Central Park, which spans two and a half miles from 59th Street to 110th Street and half a mile from Fifth Avenue to Eighth Avenue. For my second New York City trip, I decided to visit Central Park- one of the largest park’s in New York City.…

    I am sitting in my truck under a tree, looking out the window. The sun is starting to disappear but for now it makes me feel warm all over. I am focused on the large amount of people out on a late week night. There were five different groups doing physical activity. Each group was composed of men and women, and had at least 10 people in each group. One group was running, two groups walking, another group was standing all focused on one individual in the group speaking. The fifth group was on the ground and the last group doing sprints.…
