Jane GOODall

Jane Goodall, she spends more than 40 years on studying in ethology. She found out that human do not have much differences from chimpanzees. Human behavior and animals’ behavior are almost the same. Chimpanzees also have love, feelings, and sensations. The main difference is we have to ability to communicate with sophisticated spoken language but, we are overusing our power and destroying the planet. We have been trying to protect and to recover the human culture diversity, but we do not respect the primitive culture, instead of disrespect, we are destroying it. This is kind of related to what E.O. Wilson was try to say, we only know a little of knowledge, we don’t even know what the consequences are. There are still a lot of things for us to explore. Human will probably be the only primate on this planet eventually. We should respect and protect plants, animals, and everything on this planet.

The second thing she talked about was we were surrounding by the media since when we were born. This is exactly same as what Ishmael was saying in the novel. Media creates the anger, hatred, love, happiness, sadness, and these could cause violence. The violence would lead people to destroy our planet. We have to stop express our anger in destroying this planet. We can’t over kill the animals.

The last thing is the Roots and Shoots. It is like the union of teaching people to save the world. This also connects to Ishmael. In the beginning, narrator was looking for “teacher”, because teacher teaches things, they enlighten and aware people. People should start teaching kids even from Pre-K that everyone has a role to play and to change the world. We polluted the river, and then we restore the nature back. I like what Jane Goodall said in the end, she said the hope is not in the politicians, it’s in children and our hand, we are the one who make the difference, we can even change the world over night.
