Humans Are the Cause of Everything

Among global warming, society does not see how our actions is the answer as to why the world is being destroyed. The article “The Deconstruction of Whiteness” by Carl Anthony demonstrates how white people were taking black people from their homes, and making them work on plantations in the United States of America. What this basically means is that African Americans became slaves, and was owned by white settlers. This led to the African Americans to grow crops, and as a result of that, tobacco became another element that cause global warming. In other words, slavery is the destruction of Earth. Similar to an excerpt from a book called The World Without Us by Alan Weisman, Weisman explains how the world will collapse due to the way society treats the world. Destructive weapons is an example how it affects the global warming, because all of the chemicals that the weapons have such as carbon dioxide is rising to the atmosphere, which is harming earth.
In the article “The Deconstruction of Whiteness”, Carl Anthony shows how what white settlers have done to African Americans. When white settlers took black people from their homes, and made them to do their work such like grow crops, this led to making African Americans into slaves. According to Anthony, “At the point they realized that this one crop was a source of great potential wealth, they looked around for a labor force to cultivate the land.” (Anthony 268). With slavery growing tobacco, this made a huge impact to the world, because millions and millions of people are now addicted to this so called tobacco that slaves grew. With all of the toxic chemicals that tobacco has, this is harming the world, because with tons of people using tobacco, all of the chemicals like ammonia, carbon monoxide, and methane are being raised to the atmosphere. As a result, slavery is a cause of global warming.
In The World Without Us, Alan Weisman illustrates on how the world will start to crash, because of the way that humans are treating the world. One example that shows how society doesn’t care about this world is how people are using these destructive weapons for war. Bombs result in death, sickness, and losses of nature. Society does not see how this is impacting the world, because they are just thinking about winning the war, or taking over a territory.
Throughout the explanations between Carl Anthony, and Alan Weisman, one can see how society does not think about the consequences, yet they see the positive outcomes. In “The Deconstruction of Whiteness”, the white settlers wanted their slaves to keep on growing that single crop, which was tobacco, because the profit of it was increasing yearly. Instead of seeing what these chemicals can do to the world, they just thought about what they are getting out of tobacco. Related to The World Without Us, society isn’t thinking about what war can do to nature. What they see is bombing the enemy, but because of this, all of those bombing are destroying the world in a way that places are being collapsed. It is amazing to me that the world is not going to end in ages, but it will be end by the hands of society.
