| Easter Island chapter |
As I read the chapter I felt like the main argument…. Well there really wasn’t an argument; he just seemed to go on and on about those statues that brought a civilization to its end. I do think that first thing off, the United States is still thriving while the population on Easter Island is zip. The rate that the once rich civilization fell is shocking. I thought it was so interesting that a whole civilization became hypnotized into building these statues that it led to them going extinct. In comparison to Easter Island, America is semi-like them. Unlike Easter Island our motivation is not building statues but trying to maintain an expanding society and this is the cause of our demise. Easter Island and America are on the same path, I just feel that America can survive better than the Eastern Islanders did. They used every resource available until there last resort was cannibalism. Overall I think America is prepared for our fossil fuels to run out; although the world will completely change I think that it will be good, we will become a lot more eco-friendly and probably bike ride more. I also think America can do a lot better at in general than the Eastern Islanders did. >I feel like I’m going in circles so ill stop, hope I got my point across. < |
