Reaction Paper #1
(Documentary Film: An Inconvenient Truth)

Critically made as an eye-opener in the on-going and despicable effect of an
environmental issue we called Global Warming. Indeed, An Inconvenient Truth proved its
glory of being an Academy award winning documentary film. Its a manifestation and expression
of the extent that the former United States Vice President Al Gore did in educating citizens
about the devilish and creepy creature that sucks the life out of earth Global Warming; through
the use of his comprehensive and truth-based slideshow.

Beforehand, I already had set of knowledge regarding the issue to be discussed in the
documentary film; because I too, is desperately in contravening position against the culprit of all
the environmental concerns.
Even though we didnt finish the entire film, I was very awed in the new data I got from this
documentary. I saw how Al Gore is so engaging and passionate in pursuing a movement to stop
this hideous Global Warming today and not tomorrow. Though change could attain little by little
a day, still we must stand right now and get our limbs going to prevent this from eating away our
most precious and loved earth. This documentary made me recall the things I did that contributed
to the growth of this climate crisis. It put me into a place of realization. For me to think how my
acts as well as the acts of others fertilized the chaos we get from global warming. Thus, this film
made me remember that the reason why this earth is now on its dawn of living isnt because of
what factories and global warming contributor did, its because of people who doesnt do
anything about it. What we witness in this era is how people of no care to environment
drastically changes the orientation of earth (e.g. its forest, greenery, climate, animals, diversity,
and etc.). The things we did have its corresponding consequences in line with the condition of
mother Earth, as what the documentary implies. Global warming brought, with increasing
temperature, changes in the make-up of different phenomena stronger and larger typhoons,
greater pollution in various areas, deadlier earthquakes and others. These are all fruits of human
negligence to earths condition. We are just extracting what we need from her, forgetting what
all of our actions will brought.

We are all culprits in the progression of the adverse effects of global warming in our own
way. Mother Earth blessed us enormous resources yet we manage to deplete these things in order
to satisfy our unlimited wants. However, its not the end yet... We must start kicking to change
our habits to contribute in the rehabilitation of our environment. We mustnt wait for the time of
chaos to come for us to move and do something. We are already witnessing these things. We are
already suffering. Now, its the time for us to get into the groove of changing for better...
Changing for Earths betterment.
