Review of south park : Whale Wars

                                                THE MAIN ISSUE 

                              The main issue in this video is killing of whales and dolphins by the Japanese for no proper reason. In the video the character Stan is the activists trying to fight  for the injustice done to the whales and dolphins.
                      Stan and his family were celebrating his birthday at the Denver aquarium, where he was even getting a chance to swim with the dolphins. However, as his chase was approaching, the Japanese suddenly came from no where and killed the dolphins right in front of his eyes, because of this incident Stan's birthday celebration was ruined, which obviously made him feel bad. As there was no end to this senseless killing of dolphins/ whales, Stan decides to take on the cause, so that he can  save the dolphins and whales .
                              When he asked  his friends for help they  did  not really care at first, as they thought it was a waste of time and that no one would listen to them fighting for the whales/dolphins.  The character Cartman ( Stan’s friend) also did not care about saving the dolphins/whales, however when Stan became famous by his act of trying to save the dolphins/whales, Cartman and Stan’s other friends were very much interested about the issue, as they also could now become famous with all the media attention.

 “That’s just the way the Japanese are you cannot change the way an entire country           thinks”.

                                 When Stan asked Cartman for help the first time  Cartman said that he should not bother about this issue because no one would listen to him, Cartman added by saying   “That’s just the way the Japanese are you, cannot change the way an entire country thinks”. Cartman was right with this statement. Many Japanese killed dolphins/whales may be as one of their cultural activities. The people who follow these rituals do not like it when they are corrected . These rituals  are very difficult to remove because they have been practised by many people since a really long time. according to the Japanese ,there were just carrying  on their culture, so it did not seem to be very wrong to them, and they still continued killing them.

                             ‘’No one likes it but no one will do anything to stop it ‘’

                            This statement was said by Stan when he was trying to help the dolphins/ whales, 
         Stan was trying to convince his friends to help the dolphins/whales, however they were not interested in it though they knew it was not right. So many other people were also there in the aquarium and also saw the Japanese killing the dolphins ,they also did not like it they all knew it was wrong, but only Stan was the one person out of the many to fight for the right.

                                                        THE LAST SCENE 

                                The last scene tells us, that when Japanese killed dolphins and whales, we felt it was bad because no other religion or culture ever practised  killing  dolphins. However we kill so many animals like chickens, cows, pigs,etc. everyday for food but we feel that it is “right” because this is practiced everywhere since a long time . Killing of chickens and cows is also wrong, but however we only see the Japanese killing dolphins and whales not us .… killing so many animals just  for food!

WHY DO WE STUDY GEOGRAPHY..... ?

                The most important reason why one should study geography is to understand the planet on which we live on a little more better than we know it. For example we cannot go to a country without knowing the language of that country , their culture , their currency ,where the country is situated, e.t.c . for we  may get lost in such an unknown  place,  geography provides us with all the information regarding any country, its currency ,language, dressing, states , population , weather conditions,and many other factors, thus making it easier for us to travel to any part of the world.

                During natural calamities geography helps us is knowing the main reasons for its occurrence, the consequences of the disaster, preventive measures , e.t.c. for any particular calamity. This information helps us to be prepared for natural calamities whenever it may occur. Thus helping us to keep our self protected and safe.

               A person who studies geography is called a Geographer . A Geographer studies geography to make us aware of everything happening on our planet which effects us, they provide us with all the information which is necessary for us human beings to know, so that we can make the earth a safer place to live in . Like the study of global warming made us aware that we should not waste our resources as they are becoming scarce , without geography we would have not known about global warming and used all the resources very carelessly, and even used chemicals which are harmful for the planet, which would indeed lead us into some  grave problems affecting humans, wild life and the bio-diversity.

             Because of the study of geography, geographers can solve many environmental problems.They can plan for the further, which would in turn lead us into a better tomorrow, as it can educate people to use resources carefully. Geography teaches us to be more environmentally friendly.  

                                           

WHAT IS GEOGRAPHY....??

                     When we say the word  "Geography” many people only think of maps, however geography is a wider concept it is not only limited to the study of maps, it is beyond that. According to the oxford dictionary geography is defines as “_the study of the physical features of the earth and its atmosphere, and of human activity as it affects and is affected by these, including the distribution of populations and resources and political and economic activities."

                     In simple words geography is the   study of natural calamities (such as  earthquakes,  volcanoes, cyclones,e.t.c.)  , countries, climates , culture , weather, people ,environment , plants , animals ,maps ,e.t.c. . Geography is a study of all the happenings around the world which directly or indirectly have an impact on human beings. It gives us a deeper understanding of how things are evolved / how things got  here ……on the earth’s surface.

 It  is a combined beauty of human and nature thus It helps in creating an interaction between humans and the environment, helping us in understanding our surroundings better!!!
