"Join Stan, Kenny, Kyle and Cartman as these four animated types take on the supernatural, the extraordinary and the insane. For them it is all part of growing up in South Park". It all started in 1995, when filmmakers Trey Parker and Matt Stone were hired by a Fox executive who paid them $2,000 to make a video for him to send it as a Christmas card. The video was called "The spirit of Christmas" and showed an imaginary fight between Santa Claus and Jesus Christ. The video circulated around and
Eric Theodore Cartman is a fictional cartoon character in the second longest running cartoon ever made; “South Park”. Eric is a cynical, overweight child that often assumes the position of an antagonist in episodes, demonstrating that he will stop at no costs to get what he wants, even if it means intentionally harming his “friends”. Eric lives with his mother in South Park and has never had a relationship with his father or even met him. It was established in season two that Cartman’s mother, Liane
long-term effects that could result from watching the program, and through its reflection of social reality. Some of the repeated behaviors and actions of the characters include one of the children (Kenny) dying during each episode (followed by Stan yelling, "Oh, my God! They've killed Kenny" (South Park).); the children ragging the overweight kid; the African-American chef obsessing about sex; and the geneticist performing insane experiments in his spooky laboratory. Kenny has been shot, run
Chef This epic tale of love and deception takes us back in time to the year nineteen hundred and eighty seven. Early one morning in London, England, we find ourselves in the kitchen of Chef. This sweet mouthwatering scent of Salisbury steak fills the room. This was to be the finest steak Chef had ever prepared. He planned to enter a contest with this masterpiece, the prize being a cruise to Greenland. To Chef, this was the land of paradise. He would be the only man there to seduce and womanize the
LGBTQ rights have been supported, spearheaded into media, and—in general South Park fashion—made into joke from episode four titled, Big Gay Al’s Big Gay Boat Ride, and the recurring character Mr. Garrison. During Big Gay Al’s Big Gay Boat Ride, Stan tries to convert his homosexual dog, Sparky, into being heterosexual, but is ultimately convinced into accepting the Sparky’s sexuality after Big Gay Al explains it to him on a boat ride through his gay animal sanctuary. Although bizarre sounding,
South Park's new season continues to poke the sleeping bear of political correctness while also skewering Donald Trump in only the most South Park of ways. The second episode of this year's 19th season of South Park entitled "Where My Country Gone?" continued the plot line of South Park being overtaken by politically correct bullies and the running gag that Caitlyn Jenner is considered a "stunning woman and hero" regardless of anyone's personal opinion or Caitlyn's own actions. The episode opens
religion in the world. This vulgarity and intolerance is most notable in the character Cartman, who is extremely offensive in his thoughts, ideas, and actions. The show does, however, provide a balance to Cartman’s antics through his co-stars Stan and Kyle. Stan, and Kyle almost always stand up to Cartman and ridicule his intolerance, thereby creating a view of intolerance for intolerance. This intolerance for intolerance is the part of the show which redeems it, and should silence the critics. Unfortunately
Studies show that birds currently generate nearly $20 billion and create more than 234,000 jobs in the United States. Fish and Wildlife Service also reports that birds can generate more than $1 billion in state and federal tax revenues to the United States. If there are less birds this can mean lower retail sales, less tax revenue, fewer jobs, and lost economic opportunities. We need to save the birds in the United States. Duck Unlimited (DU) is an organization that helps fight for the safety of
In the panel “Southern Swamps as Spaces of Alterity” Kristin L. Squint discusses the destruction of Florida’s swamps as a result of the melaleuca tree and the threats to the Louisiana wetlands because of development and hurricanes. She asserts that Swamplandia! highlights the situation in Florida, while The Last of the Ofos covers the conditions in Louisiana. While analyzing these two novels Squint seeks to answer two questions: “How is the destruction of Gulf Coast wetlands comparable to the loss
that are used as tea leaves include the Scutellaria lateriflora, which is tea for anxiety, nervous exhaustion and pre-menstrual tension, and the Valeriana officinalis, which promotes soothing sleep. During the Middle Ages, Potentilla palustris (Marsh Cinquefoil) were regarded as having healing properties for almost any ailment and were widely collected. The genus of the cinquefoil’s Potentilla from Latin meant “powerful” was derived from its reputation as powerful cure-alls. In particular, the
The Loss of Coastal Wetlands This paper introduces the environmental concerns of the loss of coastal wetlands. The paper will discuss the significance of wetlands and the devastation that is occurring because of human activity. Wetlands are an essential element of our environment both ecological and societal; conservation will be essential for the preservation of these precious ecosystems. Globally coastal wetlands are disappearing at an alarming rate, the problem is most of society does not realize
REMEDIATION OF CONTAMINATED MARSH LAND: Introduction: Coastal wetlands are commonly known as marshes or marsh land. There are various kinds of marsh land from coastal to inland and saltwater to fresh water etc but mainly distinguished as Tidal marsh lands, Freshwater marsh lands, Mangrove swamps or brackish wetland (Mitsch and Gosselink, 2000). Wetland ecosystems are herbaceous vegetations that not only protect wide variety of wildlife but also protect the shores support coastal fisheries also (US

Coastal erosion is a growing problem along the Gulf Coast. Louisiana is one of the coastal states most affected by coastal erosion. Ninety percent of wetland loss in the nation occurs in Louisiana, losing 25-35 square miles per year. At that rate, Louisiana will lose 640,000 more acres by 2050. Many factors contribute to this land loss, such as rising sea levels, subsidence, hurricane storm surge, cold fronts, and human interference. Cold fronts and hurricanes can both have detrimental consequences
Water, water everywhere and not a drop to spare. This is the reality – especially when regarding the amount of freshwater available. Fact: The earth contains only 3.5% freshwater. Fact: 98.8% of all freshwater is shielded from our grasp in glaciers or groundwater. Fact: Only 0.0003% of the Earth’s water is accessible for consumption. With such a minute quantity of freshwater available, the high amount of pollution contaminating this water is appalling. Water quality levels are decreasing, hurting

This is a great example of a successful restoration because the marsh is growing. Also, that word is getting out about the wetland restorations, so more and more people are coming to help a great cause. “”Not all authors agree that wetlands can be engineered to match natural ecosystems” (Zedler). This means that even
Sea Level Rise and Coastal Wetlands INTRO RISING SEA LEVEL AND ITS MAJOR CONTRIBUTORS/COASTAL WETLANDS BEING MOST VULNERABLE AND THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES AND IMPACTS (2 PAGES) The Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that sea-level will continue to rise globally until the 21st century and beyond, due to changes of climate brought on by greenhouse gas emissions (Church et al., 2001). This trend in global sea-level rise will have profound effects on our coastal populations
The Overpopulation of the Snow Goose in North America Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explore available research on the overpopulation of the Snow Goose on the North American continent. The snow goose has been rising in population since the middle of the century and has been escalating so much it is destroying their natural habitat. Wildlife managers have just recently begun to implement strategies to combat this problem. Mainly through the use of hunters the managers are trying to curb
Westchester bluffs, it was once a major part of California’s natural wetland systems. Before development, Ballona wetlands natural habitat covered 2002 acres. This area, 800 to 1000 acres, referred to as Playa Vista by its owners is made up of salt marsh freshwater marsh and part upland and dune areas. It is considered Los Angeles’ largest ‘wetland ecosystem’. Although degraded over the years it still functions as a normal natural wetland - providing vital services. A major function it provides is that it
