Reflection of my choice

I wanted to reflect on the section title “The Third Frontier”, some of the points that Richard Louv is trying to makes us reflect on are very true. He introduces us to the different frontiers we have seen throughout time. I kind of find myself in this great article. I do feel personally that I have turned away from what nature and all we care about is to update our I-phones and see who has left us a comment on facebook. Even television talks and markets how a blackberry can be our missing limb. We have become a society that depends or our cell phones and emails. Richard Louv introduces us to the first frontier who never had to experience the technological advantages we have today; they did everything by trial and error. This is something we don’t really think about in today’s world. Richard Love talks about the characteristics of the third frontier and he makes a point that is very true “the third frontier is characterized by his technology”. We can see it every day people can keep of a phone or restrain from texting someone. What have turn our life’s in to, we have become slaves of our electronic devices. Our fashion has also a great point he brings up. We are determent to establish our self in society, we don’t distinguish our self’s by our education or values. The new frontier wants to makes them self different by how many tattoos or piercing we have on our bodies.

I also think that we have lost the true meaning of preserving the environment. We seem to destroy our wild lives by hunting and fishing. We need to preserve our animals and nature for future generations to enjoy, we have become a selfish society and all we care about is our self and no one else. On the other hand we have lost the value and the ethic that should be used when we are dealing with life. He states “Even the definition of life itself is up for grabs” this is very true. We are always looking for the next new thing to clone or reproduce body parts. We are trying to play God and I don’t think that was his original plan. We have come up with animal testing, stem cells, etc. I don’t want to argue about the fact that some of these procedures and invention, but I do want to know where we are planning to draw the line.
