1. Interpret the artwork based on Heidegger's concept.

We are destroying nature at an unprecedented rate, threatening the survival of a million


species and our own future, too. Also, I think rather than the Earth being seen as a weak victim
of humanity the truth is the Earth is bigger and more powerful and if humanity continues to act
selfishly it will just flick us off like fleas. No manmade weapons required. Because of being
modernized today we are slowly forgetting the Mother Earth that is not property of anyone. No
matter how much progress we make, we cannot go and live outside the planet. There is only one
Earth and we would have to take care of it. There are millions of different kinds of species of
animals, birds, fishes, insects, bacteria, many of which maybe we do not even know of yet, that
call earth their home. They have the same rights to enjoy the resources in the nature as we do.
In fact, because of their habitation the natural world is in a balance which is allowing us, human
beings, to reap off so much benefit from the environment. We do not have the right to make them
homeless and then extinct just because we consider ourselves superior. It is important that we
become aware of the consequences of our actions and take steps before it becomes too late. We
have to take care of the resources that were handed down to us, so that in time we can hand it
back to our offspring’s and then they to theirs. We have to become aware of the little things that
we can do to keep our environment healthy, as like the earth we only have one natural world.
There is no way in which we can replace nature or live without it. We are a part of the nature itself
and we have to protect it. It is only fair as nature takes care of us by giving us the air to breathe,
the food to survive, and so many resources to make life easy. We do not want the time to come
when our natural world would feel, it does not need to take care of us and leave us to our own
means, which we do not have.

2. Martin Heidegger is not against technology but in how we extract the resources (coming
from nature) for the technology that man creates. Make a reaction paper on this video.

Man's relationship with nature has taken its turns as it shows greediness, and indifference
to natural limits, in a fascinating journey through time at the peak of technology and pollution. We
are already seeing the effects of our industrial ways through the extinction of species, the melting
of glaciers, and the destruction of the landscape. As we continue to disturb the world’s natural
systems, we are recognizing a rippling of consequences. Our recognition of these effects
suggests that our role in nature is far more influential than it should be. Therefore, it is necessary
that we make major changes and that we make them soon. Our role within nature should be one
of subsistence rather than commercialization. We have exploited the world for too long and the
consequences of doing so are everywhere. As everything is related to everything, we have no
right to infringe on the livelihood of any other species. In fact, our cognitive ability and
understanding of nature obliges us to maintain the integrity of the environment. So, we must
change how we influence the land. We must respect the natural order of things and find a way to
live accordingly. Although a change in attitudes would require a complete overhaul of our current
economic and political structures, it is something that must be done. As history shows, if we
continue to encourage expansion and development it is very likely that we will see major effects
in climate and ecology. We have seen the destructive nature of industrialism and capitalism. We
can predict and measure the effects of our actions on the environment. We know we are headed
in the wrong direction and we are expecting major consequences.
