A historical figure that reminds me of Rachel Carson is Marie Curie. She reminds me of Rachel Carson because she started a reformation, and she influenced the way that people thought about things.
Unfortunately I do not know anyone that reminds me of Rachel Carson, but there are probably many people out there that want to change the world for the better. The science enthusiasts and the children that invent things to make the world a better place.
Speaking out sometimes can be hard especially when the opposition has more people on their side, but if it is something that I feel really passionate about then maybe I might. It really is dependent on whether or not the thing I am standing up for will benefit many and not few.
The United States has 5% of the world’s population, but 30% of the total world consumption.
I feel that we believe that as capitalists we can take whatever we want and then leave nothing for anyone else. This makes us extremely selfish and have other countries look at us in awe.
In addition, this came to exist after the Industrial Revolution when we realized that we could use materials on Earth without anything happening, but in fact alot was happening and we are ignoring it.
This is a problem because we will eventually hit a stopping point and that could be BAD.
