Per. 3 "Racing Extinction" Discussion Questions by Rachel Brogan

Astroid

jj144690 — 2022-04-21 18:37:51 UTC

What it means by saying that humanity has become the asteroid it means that we are basically destroying everything in our path like an asteroid would.

nr131939 — 2022-04-21 18:38:14 UTC

The metaphor "Humanity has become the asteroid" means that humans are what is destroying the Earth unlike how the asteroid destroyed the dinosaurs.

it means that humans are the cause and effect for the animals

eb131558 — 2022-04-21 18:38:16 UTC

I think it means that we people have create things that harm the environment and us hunting animals to extinction.

cm131150 — 2022-04-21 18:38:20 UTC

Luke Newborn- Question 1

ln132284 — 2022-04-21 18:38:28 UTC

This meant that humans are the reason why scarce things are happening today such as pollution, death of animals, and destruction to the environment.

Question 1

ac159607 — 2022-04-21 18:38:40 UTC

This metaphor means that we as humans are destroying everything just as an astroid would.

Asteroid

jm131969 — 2022-04-21 18:38:41 UTC

I feel that the metaphor means that humanity has destroyed everything in our way such as an asteroid would

Asteroid

cw132637 — 2022-04-21 18:38:43 UTC

This metaphor means that humans have become the next cause of mass extinction like the asteroid did.

Question 1

je131497 — 2022-04-21 18:38:47 UTC

I believe that the metaphor they used ¨ Humanity has become the asteroid¨ means that humans are the cause of mass extinction events. Many things humans have done over the years acted like a asteroid that caused many things and animals to go extinct.

2022-04-21 18:39:19 UTC

this metaphor means that human are the effect for animals

yes because us humans are destroying the world and animals

eb131558 — 2022-04-21 18:39:19 UTC

Astroid

ck131302 — 2022-04-21 18:39:21 UTC

The metaphor meant that us humanity is destroying this world and we are going to destroy everything just like a real asteroid.

I dont think there will be a 6th mass extintion because right now we are making electric based cars and eventually we wont have to use gas

cm131150 — 2022-04-21 18:39:21 UTC

ja170275 — 2022-04-21 18:39:24 UTC

it means that humanity is going to be the one who destroys the earth

al155204 — 2022-04-21 18:39:27 UTC

it means that we all was the astrroid and that we destroyed everything that could kill us or not being able to survive in those conditions

Answer to Question #1

aa131291 — 2022-04-21 18:39:31 UTC

What this metaphor means is humans are destroying the world because of the things we do for example killing endangered animals, oil leaks, factories, and destroying animals' homes so that's how we relate to an asteroid.

Question 1

cm131930 — 2022-04-21 18:39:35 UTC

"Humanity has become the asteroid." means that humankind is basically destroying everything there is that's living.

ah159002 — 2022-04-21 18:39:40 UTC

agree

jm131969 — 2022-04-21 18:39:55 UTC

Yes, I do believe that animals or any living species could go extinct because of what us humans have been doing to this planet.

2022-04-21 18:39:57 UTC

I think it means that us humans are destroying the animals environment and we also harm them.

2022-04-21 18:40:00 UTC

In my opinion, it means that humanity is going to be the that destroys everything.

It intrests me but not enough where id want to work there

cm131150 — 2022-04-21 18:40:00 UTC

jd169578 — 2022-04-21 18:40:20 UTC

This metaphor is symbolic of how we are creating nearly the same impact as an asteroid, damaging what we come in contact with.

nr131939 — 2022-04-21 18:40:25 UTC

I agree that we could very well be going into a 6th mass extinction because humanity is destroying the planet and is endangering animals left and right.

it does because he is explaining on what happens to the animals.

eb131558 — 2022-04-21 18:40:34 UTC

sf152285 — 2022-04-21 18:40:34 UTC

I think that " Humanity has become the asteroid" is a metaphor for humanity being the cause of extinction, like the asteroid was for the dinosaurs.

iz

2022-04-21 18:40:34 UTC

Yes, because humans are destroying our earth and our animals.

its not the work any would like to have.

ah159002 — 2022-04-21 18:40:36 UTC

Question 2

ac159607 — 2022-04-21 18:40:56 UTC

Yes, I think that we are heading into a sixth mass extinction. Us humans are causing harm to the world.

ja170275 — 2022-04-21 18:40:57 UTC

yes, the environment is changing to fast for each species

al155204 — 2022-04-21 18:40:59 UTC

yes because humans is hurting the earth by making new inventions that can kill or harm and animals

Luke Newborn- Question 2

ln132284 — 2022-04-21 18:41:09 UTC

I believe that we are in that amount of danger because everyday we hear about more and more animals being endangered, trees getting cut down and global warming.

2022-04-21 18:41:14 UTC

Us humans are destroying the world & animals too

asteroid

pm132084 — 2022-04-21 18:41:18 UTC

what it is basically saying is that humanity are the thing that is going to make all the animals to go extinct like the asteroid did

ck131302 — 2022-04-21 18:41:19 UTC

yes i do believe we are going into a sixth mass extinction, and i do believe the plant and the species that live here on earth are in danger because they are, humans put them in danger.

jd169578 — 2022-04-21 18:41:24 UTC

I believe that if we persist with our current behaviors, we could very well end up heading into the sixth mass extinction, Although, we could prevent it if we worked towards the correct things.

Its to late could mean that its to late to help or change something or the beginning could mean its the beginning to something bad or good mostly bad

cm131150 — 2022-04-21 18:41:28 UTC

2022-04-21 18:41:30 UTC

yes, because the animals and our environment are getting destroyed by us humans

asteroid

ah159002 — 2022-04-21 18:41:30 UTC

jm131969 — 2022-04-21 18:41:31 UTC

It interests me because it shows me what type of animals are going extinct and how they are going extinct, but I don't think that type of job is for everyone because some people wouldn't know what to do like he does

Question 2

cm131930 — 2022-04-21 18:41:31 UTC

Yes, i think that there will be a 6th mass extinction because of how humankind is managing the earth as of now and destroying many many living things on earth and polluting the air that we breath.

cw132637 — 2022-04-21 18:41:34 UTC

I think that we are and aren't, because we are making great progress to reverse what we've done so far, but it may not work.

Astroid

2022-04-21 18:41:35 UTC

Basically it is trying to say that we are destroying the earth like if an asteroid hit earth and when we throw away trash or other chemicals it kills animals.

IZ

2022-04-21 18:41:35 UTC

This interests me but I would not work there.

al155204 — 2022-04-21 18:41:41 UTC

it interest me but in my opinion i wouldn't like to work there due to it not being extremly interesting

Question 2

je131497 — 2022-04-21 18:41:50 UTC

I do not think we are heading into a sixth mass extinction because more people are starting to make everything electric based which means less gas emission in the air. If something changes and people continue poorly treating the environment then yes but other than that I believe that most animals will still be alive.

ja170275 — 2022-04-21 18:41:55 UTC

its cool to hear what animals sound like

2022-04-21 18:41:57 UTC

50/50 it's interesting but it's not something I would like to do.

as170376 — 2022-04-21 18:41:58 UTC

The Metaphor of " Humanity has become the asteroid ' means that us humans are destroying the earth and that humans are causing the extinction of animals .

Question 3

ac159607 — 2022-04-21 18:42:01 UTC

yes, it interest me but not so much where Id want to do it for work.

aa131291 — 2022-04-21 18:42:11 UTC

I think slowly we are heading into the sixth mass extinction because of the harm we do to the earth.

ah159002 — 2022-04-21 18:42:12 UTC

nr131939 — 2022-04-21 18:42:15 UTC

Chris Clark's work at the lab of Ornithology does interest me because I find it fascinating that there is so much information of animal sounds, past the surface level.

Question 3

jb1707431 — 2022-04-21 18:42:16 UTC

i think i would try it because he is explaining how the animals work and it really interest me a lot, also because i love animals, mostly sea creatures<3

it makes me feel that humans are the actual cause for the extincted animals.

eb131558 — 2022-04-21 18:42:16 UTC

jd169578 — 2022-04-21 18:42:17 UTC

His work intrigues me because he has documents of things that without his lab, would be impossible to ever hear again.

ck131302 — 2022-04-21 18:42:23 UTC

Yes it does, because their is so much things being learned and that are interesting that their lab has.

ky132044 — 2022-04-21 18:42:33 UTC

this means to that its never to late to state a new beginning.

2022-04-21 18:42:34 UTC

This does interest me but i would not agree to work there.

jg127801 — 2022-04-21 18:42:37 UTC

The metaphor "Humanity has become the asteroid." Basically means that humans are destroying everything on the earth like an asteroid.

2022-04-21 18:42:43 UTC

I agree with the quote

2022-04-21 18:42:47 UTC

Yes because all the damage we are doing to earth and i can head in to a mass distinction for all living things

Extinction

jj144690 — 2022-04-21 18:42:47 UTC

I believe that we could be heading towards another mass extinction just because of all the animals we are killing, and how we are destroying our own atmosphere and our ecosystems. I believe that the animals shown in the documentary are in as much danger as it suggests. I do believe though as well that if people want us to stop killing endangered animals that they should not be killing other animals either like pigs for instance or cows. For me this basically means that once the endangered animal comes back to a solid population, that the past will just happen once again and the animals will be endangered once again like a never ending cycle.

al155204 — 2022-04-21 18:42:49 UTC

the quote makes me feel that it is time for us to keep and world safe

I would work there because he is explaining what noises animals make through the ocean.

jr149515 — 2022-04-21 18:42:52 UTC

Asteroid

2022-04-21 18:42:56 UTC

what Humanity has became the asteroid means that humans is just like the asteroid and that we are destroying the world and cause mass extinction just like when the asteroid hit earth

javier razo- astroid

2022-04-21 18:43:00 UTC

the metaphor "humanity has become the astroid" means that humanity is gonna be the main cause of extinction. like the astriod humanity will cuase humanity to die off

Luke Newborn- Question 3

ln132284 — 2022-04-21 18:43:01 UTC

That job does not interest me because I am more focused on other jobs that require a good knowledge of sports. (Commentary, Umpire, Actually playing the sport)

ah159002 — 2022-04-21 18:43:03 UTC

Ornithology

jj144690 — 2022-04-21 18:43:30 UTC

No, The job does not interest me that much.

jd169578 — 2022-04-21 18:43:31 UTC

This quote signifies that we might be too far gone, but we could also fix our mistakes and clean up our acts.

Question 3

cm131930 — 2022-04-21 18:43:31 UTC

Yes, Chris Clark's work does interest me, i find it amazing how hes able to collect all of these sounds of animals of all types and the actual animals as well, I find this interesting because i really like the outdoors and just nature in general so i find it really cool

jm131969 — 2022-04-21 18:43:35 UTC

"It's either too late " means that it's too late to fix the damage us humans have done, and the "It's just the beginning" means that what we are doing is just starting and it could go way worse than it seems.

ky132044 — 2022-04-21 18:43:52 UTC

yes because you just study cool animals.

Question 4

jb1707431 — 2022-04-21 18:43:52 UTC

the quote says so much even if its a couple of sentences, because its never to late eather way it goes<3

2022-04-21 18:43:54 UTC

This makes me feel that it's never to late to make this world safe as possible.

Question 3

je131497 — 2022-04-21 18:43:54 UTC

Yes, this interests me because according to Chris Clark, he says that they document many animal sounds and for each animal they have collected a lot of data. For example, their cause for extinction, the sounds they made, what food they ate, etc.

nr131939 — 2022-04-21 18:44:14 UTC

What this quote means to me is that the planet Earth has been in danger for many years already and there is so many reasons to why we're too late, but if enough people put in the effort, we can begin a movement to change our planet for the better.

as170376 — 2022-04-21 18:44:16 UTC

yes , i think that most humans are causing extinction and hurting animals .

ja131382 — 2022-04-21 18:44:19 UTC

yes i do think that there will be a sixth mass extinction because of all the damage us humans are doing

ck131302 — 2022-04-21 18:44:44 UTC

What this quote means to me is that there is nothing we could do anymore we dug ourselves too deep or there is still some time left to fix what has happened.

cw132637 — 2022-04-21 18:44:45 UTC

It interests me because, it is an uncommon job that gets you closer to animals and life.

ja170275 — 2022-04-21 18:44:46 UTC

it means if us humans keep doing what were doing it would be to late for us but if we start doing the right things it would be a new start

2022-04-21 18:44:57 UTC

I would not be interested in working with animal sound i feel like i wouldn't have enough patent to wait around for animal sounds

rr141228 — 2022-04-21 18:45:06 UTC

This metaphor means that us humans are the cause of the extinction of animals just like an asteroid would do.

Quote

jj144690 — 2022-04-21 18:45:07 UTC

In my opinion, This means to me that it is too late to correct our mistakes but we can always prevent future mistakes from happening.

jg127801 — 2022-04-21 18:45:14 UTC

Yes, Because we as humans are slowly killing the earth with all the stuff we do in our everyday life and everything has to come to an end eventually.

Question 4

ac159607 — 2022-04-21 18:45:32 UTC

I think this quote means that its either to late to fix whats going on, or that this is just the begining to something bad. This makes me feel like we need to change whats going on. Humans as a whole have caused so much harm to the world.

aa131291 — 2022-04-21 18:45:37 UTC

Chris Clark´s work isn´t really something I´m interested in because it's cool what he does to learn more about animals' sounds and ways to communicate but personally I wouldn´t do it myself.

2022-04-21 18:45:38 UTC

like we either started to late or too early

I agree that we could very well be going into a 6th mass extinction because humanity is destroying the planet and is endangering animals left and right

jr149515 — 2022-04-21 18:45:39 UTC

Isaias Zuniga diaz G

2022-04-21 18:45:46 UTC

yes

cw132637 — 2022-04-21 18:45:58 UTC

This quote makes me realize that we may have caused to much harm to undo, or that we are starting to do so.

The metaphor "Humanity has become the asteroid" means that humans are what is destroying the Earth unlike how the asteroid destroyed the dinosaurs.

jr149515 — 2022-04-21 18:46:11 UTC

yes

2022-04-21 18:46:18 UTC

Yes i do just like the video we were watching yesterday one animal can be smart but when it is to smart it can start destroying things when they do not realize just like how we have been doing lately

ja131382 — 2022-04-21 18:46:22 UTC

i would be interested in working at a lab because i think that it would be interesting learning about animal sounds

2022-04-21 18:46:29 UTC

gummy bears

javier razo

jr170208 — 2022-04-21 18:46:48 UTC

yes i do think we are in the begginings of a sixth mass extinction becuase we are killing our selvs with these polution and plastic polution in the ocean. also becuase of cutting down the trees. it effects the ir we breath so it will kill us.

Question 4

je131497 — 2022-04-21 18:46:56 UTC

This quote represents the fact that we could be too late in doing something but in the end, we always have a slight chance of fixing our mistakes but its very much possible.

the quote makes me feel that it is time for us to keep the world safe

jr149515 — 2022-04-21 18:47:01 UTC

ky132044 — 2022-04-21 18:47:14 UTC

yes because we created the most pollution

asteroid

ah159002 — 2022-04-21 18:47:18 UTC

asteroids became the humans as said in the video

extinction

pm132084 — 2022-04-21 18:47:43 UTC

yes i do believe that we are going to hour sixth mass extinction and i do believe that the animals on this plant are in danger cause humanity

bd169069 — 2022-04-21 18:47:55 UTC

I think it means that us humans are destroying the animals environment and we also harm them.

Luke Newborn- Question 4

ln132284 — 2022-04-21 18:47:57 UTC

I agree with Jasmine Moya, "it's too late" means that we have already dug ourselves into a hole with the damage we have caused on Earth, and "this is just the begining" means that if we don't stop what we are doing to the Earth right now we will surely be dead.

sf152285 — 2022-04-21 18:48:08 UTC

I do think we are heading into a sixth mass extinction and the death is in danger.

javier razo

jr170208 — 2022-04-21 18:48:10 UTC

it intrest me but its not a job i would want just lsiten to it becuase it is very soothing.

Question 2<3

jb1707431 — 2022-04-21 18:48:26 UTC

i do think that because us humans just stopped caring about this planet that we eat,sleep,work,learn,and rest on. why not take care of a planet that take cares of u? so when we stopped caring the animals will stop breathing. and if we dont chang our bad habits now there wont be no animals, there also wont be no zoo, so we should make a change that we want to see in the world if we want these beautiful animals, and sea creatures.<3

as170376 — 2022-04-21 18:48:31 UTC

Chris Clark and his work does interest because being able to listen to animals is interesting to me .

Question 4

cm131930 — 2022-04-21 18:48:44 UTC

What "...It's either too late, or just the beginning of a movement" means, its either too late to start trying to save the earth and all of the forms of life on it or it's just the beginning of a huge movement that can save the earth and all forms of life on it and save humankind

bd169069 — 2022-04-21 18:49:00 UTC

yes, because the animals and our environment are getting destroyed by us humans

sm156746 — 2022-04-21 18:49:19 UTC

honestly no just because i think that it would be to much hard work for me and i would like to have a job that i would enjoy doing and this doesnt look to much fun for me so no i would take this job

rr141228 — 2022-04-21 18:49:24 UTC

Yes, I think that were heading into a sixth mass extinction if humanity is keep doing what we are doing right now.

bd169069 — 2022-04-21 18:49:37 UTC

I would not be interested in working with animal sound i feel like i wouldn't have enough patent to wait around for animal sounds

as170376 — 2022-04-21 18:49:57 UTC

This quote makes me feel that most people are cruel and that they need to change .

bd169069 — 2022-04-21 18:50:07 UTC

like we either started to late or too early

javier razo

jr170208 — 2022-04-21 18:50:20 UTC

i think it means we are either to late to stop our extinction or we are in the beggining of making it happen.

we gotta save amimals.

ah159002 — 2022-04-21 18:50:27 UTC

jg127801 — 2022-04-21 18:50:29 UTC

It does interest me to some extent but not too much because I don't really want to be spending hours listening to animal sounds. Although the idea sounds really cool I don't think I would like it.

aa131291 — 2022-04-21 18:51:08 UTC

When Louie said it's either too late that means humans did so much harm to their environment that it's too late to fix the damage done. But the part he mentions about just the beginning of a movement means to me that we can protest and make people listen to what we can do to prevent further damage.

ky132044 — 2022-04-21 18:51:47 UTC

it means that humans are like an asteroid because we are destroying are planet.

Question 1 <3

jb1707431 — 2022-04-21 18:52:02 UTC

and i do agree with this because it does not look like we are taking any care of the earth, and now we have became an astroid, an poison to this earth because so many animals are dying so yes i do agree, and i also agree that we should make a change.

sm156746 — 2022-04-21 18:52:11 UTC

if we dont start this than we will continue to do this than we will hurt our system and die

sf152285 — 2022-04-21 18:53:02 UTC

not really, it's just not something that interests me.

chris clark

pm132084 — 2022-04-21 18:53:06 UTC

yes does interest me cause it is showing how life forms the might go extinct are so interesting

sf152285 — 2022-04-21 18:54:29 UTC

I don't know what it means. Makes me feel confused

rr141228 — 2022-04-21 18:54:37 UTC

Yes, it does interest me about animal sounds but not to the point where I want to work there.

jg127801 — 2022-04-21 18:54:58 UTC

I think that the quote means that we are either too late to try and stop the people from killing the animals or we are just at the right time to start the movement from preventing that.

rr141228 — 2022-04-21 19:04:37 UTC

This quote means to me that we're late but we can just try to help to not make it worse than now and impact the environment.
