Why Study geography?


    Geography in general means the study of earth. Going further into a more complete definition, Geography is the science that deals with the study of earth, its lands, features, characteristics, inhabitants phenomena. In my opinion, studying geography helps to open up the mind and think in a broader perspective for the situations faced in day to day life. It also helps to gain knowledge about the world, the nature and its beauty. Only a few people in life study about geography but in my opinion its a very  important subject as it is linked to each and everything we do in our daily lives.

Review on South park episode "Whale whores"

    Last thursday I watched South Park episode "Whale whores" which i found pretty much interesting as it has bonded two major world events, the world war II and Whale hunting. In this episode the main character goes to celebrate his birthday at an outdoor aquarium where he steps in the water to touch and play with dolphins but before he could do that the Japanese people came running and killed dolphins. It made him so upset that he wanted to go out and stop the Japanese people. Not only that incident, they also killed other dolphins in the aquariums and did whale hunting in a vast manner. So the main character stepped in to stop them by joining a group but ended up their captain dying on the first attempt itself. But after that main character was the captain and he started to boost up the work and they stopped the Japanese but at the very last attempt they got caught by the Japanese people and was sent to jail. Our protagonist discovered that the reason for the killing all whales and dolphins by the Japanese was because of the picture they had in the museum which showed the pilots of the aircraft that drop the atomic bomb to Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a whale and a dolphin. So the the main character contacts his friend and presents the Japanese government with another picture where the chicken and cow is replaced as the pilots. So the Japanese start killing the chickens and cows.
    I believe that this was an entertaining episode and it really highlighted one of the biggest threats to the environment in a comical and interesting way.
