The Little People ; A Collage

The Little People ; A Collage

New Version ; After the Critique

Poverty is one of the major social problems most countries in the world

are facing. It is one of the most important and sensitive issue not only

for ourself but for the whole world. Poverty can cause other social problems

like thelf, bribe, corruption, adultery, lawlessness, and injustice.

I believed that the reason behind a lot of major riots around the world

up to and including the most recent one, the London Riots happened because

of poverty, because these people sufferes

from poverty, from starvation. They cannot fullfill their basic needs

in the other word, clothing food and shelter.

Therefore, the only things that they can do is to strike back.

One or to people can cause burglary and the other form of social

problems mentioned above.

But when hundreds of people get together, it is a whole new level.

This collage is to portrait we, as part of in the society is ignorant of the social problems

that is happening is this current time because we do not think that it will effect us.

I think that we DONOT understand the matter and tackled this problems

in a totally wrong approach.

BEEs represent the little people, people suffering from poverty and their characteristics.

This people are like bees because they are hard working and they are humble

but yet when they needs to defend themselves, to save their families and their community,

they do not have any other choices but to attack and sting eventhough they would died.

Also the reason these people are represented with bees is to show

that people in the society i.e. those legs might think that they are stepping on the little people

but yet they can be stepping on something so dangerous.

LEGS represent us and people in the society. They were all facing the same direction

to represent how people are so selfish and they

only cared about their journey and they were hunger for the destination

and what is there. They do not care about what and who is along the way.

CRACKs portrait that each steps that they tooked crack the floor to represents how they

are destroying their country by being ignorant and neglected the social

problems because they donot think that it would effect them

The BACKGROUND is a strips of pictures of NICE ACCOMADATIONS, HOSPITALS,

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES and OFFICE BUILDING which represents things that

the little people or in the other word, people sufferings from poverty

do not have access to. These are what segregate the so called BIG people

and these people apart. Illiteracy, WORK status, Hospital access, and HOUSE

FIRE represent the rage of the people and things that they are capable of doing.

SMOKE means that eventhough the fire cause might not

effect the bigger people, the smokes would

rise and this says that the bigger people will be effected one way or another.

We cant expected to individually fan the smokes away from us and expect to have clear air.

Or put out the fire and expected it not to be started again.

We cannot expected to individually fan the smokes away from us and expect to have clear air.

Or put out the fire and expected it not to be started again.

These raged riots cannot come to and end unless we look into the matter

of poverty seriously.

We cannot control it by enrolling thousands of police men.

Riots, thelf and social problems mentioned previously cannot come ot an

end through tight legislation but by demolishing poverty.

Deep Ecology (Capra ) 200words Summary

In this current time, most people are buying the wrong, outdated idea of the world. They have failed to realise that major problems the world is facing are systemic problems, interconnected and interdependent , and are fragments of one intergrated crisis in which cannot be understood on its own. This will not be solve until a paradigm shift into an ‘ecological paradigm’ has occurs and people undergoes an utter change in thier perception, thinking and value.

Ecological Awareness is an acknowledgement of the earth-centred values rather than just a human-centred values. This can be break down into ‘shalow’ ecology which excludes humans from the narural environment and ‘deep’ ecology which recognises value of all living beings and views everything as one unified whole.

Additionally, social ecology and ecofeminism is also an important philosophical schools of ecology that addresses important aspects of the ecological paradigm. Social ecology is the acknowledgement of cultural characteristics and that patterns of social and economics structures along with their technologies are rooted in the ‘dominator system’ of social organisation, whereas ecofeminism views the men domination over woman as a prototype of all domination and is deliquently adopted in various hierarchical forms.

Thus, the shift of paradigms requires not only our changes in thinking but also values in a healthy and dynamically balanced way, it is less self-beneficial and therefore founded difficult by most people. Hence why its viewed most urgent to introduce an ‘ecoethical ethics’, a new systems of ethics related to the understanding of deep ecology that every lifes are connected, to the world especially to the science field. Unless the understanding of ecoethical ethics and a deep ecology paradigm shift has occurs, humans perception of the world can becomes life-threatening to all living beings on this planet in the end.
