An example of this in the film is Rick O’Barry states “these dolphins are symbolic of a new day for the environment, and If we can't stop that, if we can't fix that, forget about the bigger issues.” This technique is most commonly used in propaganda and was used in WW2 German documentaries, such as ‘Triumph of the Will’, to push Hitler’s message to the people. The Cove also uses various filmic techniques to capture the audience’s attention and draw them in. For example thermal cameras are used in the film when the activists are conducting operations to film and expose the dolphin slaughtering. Not only are the thermal cameras required
The Cove: An Analytical Approach The Cove is a documentary film written and directed by Louie Psihoyos. This film is shot in Taiji, Japan where they document the massive hunting of dolphins. The purpose of the film is to inform Americans about the issue in Japan, as well as to persuade them to become activists and do something to help stop the hunting. To persuade his audience, Psihoyos uses many different techniques or rhetorical strategies. A rhetorical strategy is something that draws in the audience and makes them interested.
Making only the people in the immediate vicinity who are affected by the floods, as shown in Figure F, "should the households who suffer from flooding pay?" This could be a fair way of making the costs smaller but it would be almost impossible to determine the area that would be effected until after the flooding has taken place. Some people could fall into many paying categories and end up paying a higher percentage of their income for services that they may not have the need for. For example, the problem of sea defences. If someone lived on the outskirts of two cities, they may be forced to pay for both ‘maintenance fees’.
For example imagine you at home doing your own thing then out of nowhere an intruder comes in and kidnaps you and while that happens there will be consequences but in the end you will end up being shot, not a good thing to think about so we should think the same about sharks. Sharks are valuable in eco-tourism, people love sharks and will pay money to go to destinations to dive with them. If the government is killing sharks and getting little of the money compared to people around the world paying to see these sharks wouldn’t the government get more money? a lot of people love sharks, don’t see the point of killing
His use of light and movement of the ferocious seas, made it look very realistic. Because it’s carrying slaves, the turbulent waters are showing the slaves’ anger at being brought to America. The viewer can see the ship trying to make it’s way through the rough waves, but it appears to be doomed. The slaves will probably end up drowning, but nothing will be made out of it. They were only thought by the whites as replaceable property.
At first, he talks about how different it is to observe the whales rove in the wild comparing to those he had seen in the Vancouver Public Aquarium. He wonders if a wild animal imprisoned in a small pool can ever be considered “happy”. Continually he discusses the use of primate, which he thinks is most controversial. Here he makes the first quotation from the famous chimpanzee expert, Jane Goodall, to support his arguments and make the essay more convincing. Goodall describes the horrible conditions that the chimpanzees are enduring in laboratories.

In Lifeboat Ethics: The Case Against Helping the Poor, Garrett Hardin, a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, addresses the overwhelming birth rate in the world. In Of Life and Lifeboats, Norman Cousins, a professor at U.C.L.A., addresses the very same issues with different beliefs. Hardin wants us to not help the poor but, Cousins wants us to help the poor. Hardin wants us to not help the poor because helping poor countries only increases the reproduction rate. The fact that the world is like a lifeboat, Hardin explains, is that if we are in a lifeboat and its full but people are in the water around us do we let people in the boat and let the others drowned or do we let people in the boat and let it sink drowning everyone.

He makes it clear to the audience that the development of the reef into a marina will be the loss of 'something precious' and will lead to the 'franchise, chlorination and sterilisation' of the wildlife. He appeals by giving examples of the 'wilderness experience' that is the reef. By using the rhetorical question 'how many places can you go to where you can swim with a whale shark, be circled by manta rays and see a dugong' he is showing the audience the uniqueness of the location, giving more reason for the protection and the prevention of the development. He also takes an attacking argument on the 'five star resorts' of the world, saying that when people return from a holiday, they do not remember the 'shopping mall like' hotels, 'seen one, seen them all' type buildings, unlike nature which is unique and diverse in each location. Why replace uniqueness with
