Blog Assignment 7

Blog Assignment 7
Oil spill- www.bp.com/oilspillcleaning
Gulf Coast Oil has taken an effect on a lot of people. There are many people volunteering to help with this project.
Timely event: the people that are helping with this job are cleaning beaches to rid them of the oil. The oil spill has caused many people to lose their jobs in the sea. A lot of companies depend on the animals in the water such as fishes, clams, oyster, crabs and other animals to maintain a business. The BP organization has steeped in to offer the people affected by the oil spill some assistance. a representative for the BP organization the help will be continued as long as it was needed. The BP organization million of dollar already and is continually providing help on a daily basis until everything get back to normal.
Situation: the situation I think has a huge impact on everyone. Some people take vacations all around the world. The beaches are the most populated areas. The oil spill did not only affect the people but it also affected the animals as well. They had set up bird rehabilitations to help the damaged birds. Some of the animals that were killed due to the oil spill are large mass of fishes, turtles, birds, and dolphins. According to the BP website, the sea animals are suffering the most because around this time of year is when they reproduce. The main problem is this happens at the bottom sea level where the oil spill is located at. The people are devastated and do not know which way to turn. They depend on the different locations to make a living. The amount of time it is going to take is uncertain.
Audience: Being in the United States or anywhere for that matter we all experience problems. I think that things will eventually get better. The audience for this assignment is everyone in general. No one is perfect but when people work together we accomplish many things. We have encountered many things with the oil spill. I was not familiar with the amount of damage that was caused by the oil spill until I had to discuss this in this editorial because I felt that is of timely and important facts. I cannot say that I truly understand because I am not there. If there was one important lesson I have learned through life and that is blaming is not going to make the situation any better but helping is the only solution.
Intention: This is an important matter. I can say that it is kind of sad to I am just now learning so much about the situation. My overall intentions are to let people we already know what has happened. A important thing to wonder is what can we do help improve the situation.
As I expressed throughout the editorial, the oil spill has taken a toll on a lot of people. It is easy to point blame, but now we all need to help. We all still have things to be thankful for because some of survived through this. We face challenges every day if we quit then we given up on ourselves. We take pride in living in the United States so now it is time to demonstrate that pride for the whole world to see. We need to state strong and united as one. The important thing is working together now to prevent this from happening in the near future.
