Hungry Planet
The video displays the different people from different backgrounds and the food that they will consume within the one week ahead. It indicates the size of the family and the typical foods tat is to be c consumed to the minimum of the quantity. The video gives the baser minimum quantity that the families would consume without undue or unnecessary foods added to the pictures (You Tube, 2007).
The video of the photos is a classic example of cultural relativism within the global communities. It gives the different staple foods that different communities depend on. These foods are seen to be...
It also shows the varying sizes of a typical family across the globe and it cannot be said that one type or size o family is the ideal size but each society depicted has its own right to take and apply the size of family as is deemed right by the community and their culture.
Looking at the video critically, it is not certain to place a finger on the right quantity per person as depicted in the video since in each photograph, there are a different number of people who are to consume the food before them, it is utterly impossible to apportion the individual consumption and the…

Religious Life on Planet Earth What does religion look like? To my alien culture, religion will take different forms. It will be seen through kindness, through humility, through love and altruism.

OMNIVORE'S DILEMMA Advanced English Composition Pastoralism: Is Michael Pollan's dream a viable alternative for most Americans? The second section of Michael Pollan's book The Omnivore's Dilemma contains his most hopeful and also his most polemical writing. Pollan is a passionate defender of the farming system of Joel Salatin's Polyface Farm, which he portrays as an idyllic refuge from both industrial corn-based farming and also 'big organic' agriculture harnessed to corporate interests. People come far
Political Ecology: The World Food System Global difference in food patterns is one of the most noticed and researched traits of world's nations. What we eat and how we consume it, is part of our culture and living style. It is very obvious that an Arab living in KSA is going to consume more dates rather than Fish as compared to a Bengali living in India. Availability is a key factor

It is an orb like the fire of the pinpoints of light before the arm like reaching of the trees spreading out against the graying sky of dusk. These only seemingly small stars gaze cold, gold and twinkling in comparison to the true, great, and
Ironically, only 1% of the world's fresh water is readily accessible for direct human use. Translated into something we can understand readily: one American taking a 5-minute shower uses more water than the typical person living in a developing country slum uses in an entire day -- and most Americans take far longer than 5-minute showers. This is a crisis that must be addressed, if it is not, over
