Comparing Roars, Snorts, And Infrasounds

140 Words1 Page

In “Roars, Snorts, and Infrasounds there are two main ideas: you should not kill elephants for their tusks and ivory and you can tell when elephants are talking and tell them to get away from villages using infrasounds. Many scientists like Katy Payne have very hard jobs; they have to trudge through mud, tolerate the excruciating heat, and have the stomach for the sweat bees crawling all over them. From high platforms scientists observe elephants in their natural habitat. They stay there for hours on end. The scientists spend lots of time listening through ARU’s. An ARU is autonomous recording unit. Payne was one of the first scientists to discover how to communicate with elephants through infrasounds. As a result of hunters of elephants the

    According to the beginning of the video, it states, “Scientists now believe [elephants are] among the world’s most cognitively advanced animals.” The outcome of this experiment was so positive that now elephants are one of the world's most advanced animals. However, this took the scientists by surprise. Subsequently, it also states in the video, “Elephants recently aced an IQ test with two of them even figuring out shortcuts the researches hadn't thought of.” This in particular, was most outstanding due to to the fact that the researchers didn’t even think of the shortcut that the elephants made. This really proves that elephants are wise mammals; possibly, even wiser than us humans. To conclude, it states in the video, “Scientists say the test highlights not only the intelligence of individual elephants but also their ability to cooperate and understand the value of teamwork.” This here exhibits that the elephants understand that certain tasks need to be done with the assistance of others, not just by themselves. Thus, as the video illustrates the elephants are more brainy than we

  • Understanding Deaf Culture: Insights from 'Sound and Fury'

    692 Words  | 2 Pages

    First of all, I think that Sound and Fury was an appropriate film for us to view and analyze in this class. I enjoyed the lecture given after we viewed it, epically because it was brought to my attention that the follow up film was funded by people who make cochlear implants. We were reminded that not all documentaries are non-fiction or unbiased! I really appreciated that because I love watching documentaries (I think I needed that reminder). I also enjoyed the film, I thought it was interesting because I knew very little about the deaf word before. I have a hearing friend whose parents are both deaf, Sound and Fury made me much more curious about her childhood and how she and her sister developed speech. It also opened my eyes to how important deaf culture can be to deaf people!

    The movie, sounds and fury was very interesting. Hearing about the topic previously and looking at the actual video was nothing close to what I had imagined. I was cognisant of the fact that there are persons who are hearing impaired in and among us but being privy to the fact that there exist an entire community was very much mindboggling. Mindboggling because of the fact that not much attention is being given to this community. Instead much focus is placed on persons attaining other languages whilst the language that is associated with the deaf community is overlooked.

  • Inherit the Wind - Scene Analysis

    1896 Words  | 4 Pages

    The scene that introduces the audience to Matthew Harrison Brady, in Inherit the Wind, (Dir. Stanley Kramer. With Spencer Tracy, Frederic March, and Gene Kelly. MGM. 1960) uses dialogue, composition, camera work and music to develop Matthew Brady. Kramer reveals important information about the plot of the film in this scene. The scene opens with a bird's eye view shot of the town of Hillsboro, and focuses in on the movement of the parade below. The camera comes to rest on the convertible that transports Brady and his wife. The town of Hillsboro welcomes the well-known politician. He will serve the town by being the prosecutor in a trial about evolution, similar to that of the historical Scopes Trial. This scene, where we first meet Brady, reveals his strong character, and the role of savior that the town expects him to play. Through the development of Brady, Kramer also introduces us to the issues of religion and politics. Stanley Kramer, the director, introduces the audience to two key ideas in the very first shot of the scene. He does this through the use of background tools, like music and scenery. As the camera fades in from the previous scene, music begins to play, and a group of women sing a religious hymn, "Give me that old time religion." The extremely loud music continues for the duration of the parade. At first the audience doesn't know the source of the music, but as the parade comes to an end, the camera focuses on a group of militant looking women, who march and sing. This song draws the audience into the impending controversy over religion. It expresses the entire town's point of view on the issue. The audience can see that religion affects the soc...

  • Earthquakes And Elephants: Article Analysis

    912 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the article divulged by Michael Garstang and Michael C. Kelly named “Understanding Animal Detection of Precursor Earthquake Sounds”, these two intelligent men talk about how many “animals detect sounds over a wide range of frequencies” (Garstang pg.2). Animals have the ability to detect sounds in very low frequencies due to their nature. For example, Garstang talks about how bats use ultra sound in order to communicate, and “navigate to capture their prey” (pg.2). For the rest of this intellectual discussion, Elephants will be the main vehicle of evidence. Elephants on the other hand use infrasound, unlike bats, elephants use this type of sound for “long-range communication which is vital to their reproduction, resource utilization and predator avoidance” (Garstang pg.2).
