A Whole New World

This week I attended a iodine- age screening for a pic c all(prenominal)ed derby hat Baby. It was a documentary film on women who play rolling derby. It was a minor(ip) screening in a township called Wilmette. Over the past year I take for been introduced to the culture and existence of peal derby by my girlfriend. I necessitate been able to experience many divergent events related to the culture, besides this movie brought a different life to the culture of roll derby. I never looked at the frolic or hobby as a culture but arouse cognise what a culture it is for many raft.The enclothe that is worn, the shaft, the passion, the life, the commitment these be all so different that my lifestyle. People who love roller derby commit their proceeds to it, their free time their friends are all in roller derby or offer up. The sport is volunteer ran, the games, the pr issueices, the realizeers, no one is paid for what they do. not many cultures of sports are exchangea ble this, which makes them very(prenominal) unique. I used to find myself sound judgement the people in roller derby, assume they were all step forwardgoing and spontaneous people, but over the past year and from this movie I sustain learned it is an expiration for many.It is a do where quiet people brush aside bring out a different side of them and a ramble where the outgoing open fire be more crazy and exciting. Roller derby is not just a game for entertainment it is a way of life for many. The train of commitment depends on the individual. A player not only plays but volunteers, joins a committee within the league, coaches, trains, parties, they do it all. You poop also take over a love for derby and not play you can be a referee or a fan who is gamely involved. The possibilities are never ending. It is a passion that many do not know about, like many other cultures it is waiting to be found.A self-colored recent globeThe sphere has gone far from what it was a century ago. As the world grows old, things on it, around it, and under it have changed substantially many were even replaced by unfermented ones. As time goes on, man has invented and innovated oft on four major merciful activity sectors industry, energy, transportation and agriculture. (B Goldstein, 2002)Humans have been blind by the dramatic changes and improvements on their ways of vivacious brought about by technical advancements, industrialization and the transformation of al virtually everything in this building block new world For all of these, man has sacrificed his most precious riches his health. If we are to unveil the mask of this whole new world, we ordain see that what we in truth have is a set of whole new pollutants- the gravest threat to tender health.In the ii independent studies conducted in California congress to the health hazards of exposure to the porno in diesel emissions, questioners has released alarming result figures. In 2005 half a milli on of work and school absences, and at least 1,100 immature deaths were caused by breathing emissions from old diesel equipment. ( man and wife of refer Scientists) So this is our prize for desiring to have this whole new world a highly industrialized one. The bring forth of high rise buildings, the construction of hospitals and transportation facilities, comes the birth of soot. Soot particles come directly from the tailpipe of engines and give way to the unhealthy levels of particulate matter (PM) (UCS p.20).The okay particulate matter lodges like piffling razor blades deep in pitying lungs according to Kevin Hamilton, who have led one of the two studies in California. Particulate contamination as Don Anair of the Union of Concerned scientists puts it is a silent killer. What the world gets from industrialization are heart diseases, bronchial asthma and cancer. The compensation of development is hundreds of different chemicals from the diesel soot sulfates, ammonium, nit evaluates, elemental carbon, condensed organic compound, carcinogenic compounds, arsenic, selenium cadmium and zinc. If one thinks that he can get rid of this pollution by going out of the city, he is wrong. The study even found out 2that soot particles is present at the southernmost Pole.Suggestions as to solving this problem acknowledge basically replacing the old equipment with new ones. The dark thing about this is that most of these equipment last for 20 to 30 years. That would connote humans still have to have themselves exposed to this pollution for two to leash decades before they will be replaced with less-emitting machines. winning this fact 3for every additional 10 micrograms of soot in a brick-shaped meter of air is equivalent to 4.5% emergence in heart attacks, how many lives will still be sacrificed in collar decades? Being also a cancer-causing agent, soot pollution is not supposed to be taken for granted.The California Air Resources board reported that soo t is responsible for 70% of the risk of cancer from airborne toxics. No one is safe and exempted from the deadly personal effects of diesel pollution, especially those who are living in soot-polluted areas like California. In fact, the 26% increase in mortality rate in such areas is attributed to soot-pollution.One does not have to be an environmentalist in stage to know what is actually going on with the air we all breathe. We do not have to be scientifically inclined in order to understand what these research studies figures are all about. We just have to have a little stir of the future, especially the lives of the children who have no peril of altering their future. Their only choice, if it is a choice, is to live in the world where their parents brought them up a polluted world brought about by industrialization. I am not against development, nor am I against industrialization. I am against the oversight of the proponents of this development who obviously have unnoted th e long term health effects of these processes.There is no escape to industrialization- the world, being governed by the laws of the material-driven humans, is inclined to be there. What has been done can no more be undone, and that is the sad truth. But there is a substance of deterring the worst scenario laws that will regulate the bring forward use of soot-emitting engines or equipment.The government has to sincerely work hard to ensuring the safety of their people, as they are expected to do so. The human health and the environment can no more wait. The best time to act is now. The chance of this growing old world of getting a better place to live in is declining. We can no more turn back time, what has been anomic is lost forever. Let us not lose what we still have today.WORKS CITEDWilson, Janet. The imposing wellness Effects of defilement Reported.
