D Block Criminology 12 - Today we have nine people left to present their criminology topics for our seminar presentations. I wish to thank all of those students who volunteered to go yesterday and I sincerely look forward to today's presentations. Best of luck.
C Block Geography 12 - WALL-E was a Pixar (Disney) movie released in 2008 and directed by Andrew Stanton. Stanton has been on record stating that WALL·E was not created with any environmental or anti-consumerist ideals in mind; he clearly indicated that it was a love story about two robots...and it is. As true as the love story may be it is also patently clear that there is a profound underlying environmental message in the movie as well (intended or not). The message is more connected to the movie's plot - the background to tell the love story between WALL-E and EVE - and as such it is subtle but none the less clear. The message is that irreparable harm will take hold to our ecosystems and the planet as a whole if we do not alter our course and that we should return to a respectful relationship with nature and the Earth. So is it "preachy"? No. Is the message wrong? You decide.
