6、造成了很大的威胁。有人认为人类拥有了富足的资源,这种想法导致了人类对资源的误用和滥用。因此,这篇论文旨在通过对电影2012后天日本沉没中生态危机的描述,阐释生态危机在经济上,政治上和文化上的警示作用。其中,三部电影所反映出来的生态危机都能在人类历史中找到痕迹。因此,这篇论文将收集有关数据,为电影中核泄露、风、地震提供佐证。关键词:冲突 生态危机 电影 警示作用CONTENTSIntroductionEver since human beings have set foot on this planet, their lives and development are tightly bound

Today, there is a growing awareness that the peace of the world is not only threatened by armed force, regional conflicts, and continual disputes among nations and races, but also caused by lacking the sense of ecological protection.

The ecological crisis in the world is caused by many things, an increasing population, and overconsumption of natural resources, deforestation of the rain forests, fossil fuel use, and garbage created by humans.

For example, the nuclear leaking of Chernobyl was considered“the worst nuclear power plant accident in history, and is one of only two classified as a level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale”1“Hurricane Katrina of th

However, they are likely to ignore Ecological Crisis“There is no doubt today that a major dimensi

12、iduals, with the environment.”32.1 EcologyThe word “ecology” was originated from ancient Greek word “okios” and “logos”, created by Greek philosopher Theophrastus (371BC-287BC). “Okios means home, not just habitation, but all living places.”4 “Ecology (from Greek: , house; -, study of) is the scient
13、ific study of the relation of living organisms to each other and their surroundings.”5The study of ecology usually aims to study where people live, which includes geology, plants, animals, water and how all these things interact with each other. Humans have been students of ecology as long as human
14、beings have existed asspecie. The earliest hunters and gatherers had to know the habits of their animal prey and where to find food and plants. The future of their own species depends on how well people understand the relationship between organisms and the environment.2.2Ecological crisis“An ecologi
15、cal crisis occurs when the environment of a species or a population changes in a way that destabilizes its continued survival.”6More specifically, ecological crisis means environmental crisis.As Barry moner put it:The environmental crisis is a sign that the finely sculptured fit between life and its
16、 surroundings has begun to corrode. As the links between one living thing and another, and between all of them and their surroundings, begin to break down, the dynamic interactions that sustain the whole have begun to falter and, in some places, stop.72.2.1 Causes of ecological crisisAs John Bellamy
