Anthrozoology and Sharks, Looking at How Human-Shark Interactions Have Shaped Human Life Over Time
Anthrozoology and Public Perception: Humans and Great White Sharks (Carchardon carcharias) on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA Jessica O’Toole A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Marine Affairs University of Washington 2020 Committee: Marc L. Miller, Chair Vincent F. Gallucci Program Authorized to Offer Degree School of Marine and Environmental Affairs © Copywrite 2020 Jessica O’Toole 2 University of Washington Abstract Anthrozoology and Public Perception: Humans and Great White Sharks (Carchardon carcharias) on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA Jessica O’Toole Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Marc L. Miller School of Marine and Environmental Affairs Anthrozoology is a relatively new field of study in the world of academia. This discipline, which includes researchers ranging from social studies to natural sciences, examines human-animal interactions. Understanding what affect these interactions have on a person’s perception of a species could be used to create better conservation strategies and policies. This thesis uses a mixed qualitative methodology to examine the public perception of great white sharks on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. While the area has a history of shark interactions, a shark related death in 2018 forced many people to re-evaluate how they view sharks. Not only did people express both positive and negative perceptions of the animals but they also discussed how the attack caused them to change their behavior in and around the ocean. Residents also acknowledged that the sharks were not the only problem living in the ocean. They often blame seals for the shark attacks, while also claiming they are a threat to the fishing industry.

EVEN JAWS DESERVES TO KEEP HIS FINS: OUTLAWING SHARK FINNING THROUGHOUT GLOBAL WATERS JESSICA SPIEGEL* Abstract: Sharks have reigned at the top of the marine food chain for 200 million years, but their recent slaughter by fishermen has imperiled their populations significantly. Unfortunately, this graceful animal is killed primarily for its fins, which are used to make shark fin soup, while the rest of the carcass is discarded at sea. Even worse, the shark is usually alive when finned and then left in the ocean to bleed to death or drown. There is no global shark-finning regulation in place, and only very recently has the United States implemented its own national regulations.

Fact File Poem/Song Programme 5 22 May by Sam Mcbratney
B B C Northern Ireland Learning One Potato, Two Potato Summer 2007 Wasps Programme 5 By Sam McBratney 22 May Wasps are considered to be a hazard by many people during the warmer months. In today’s story Colvin decides he is a friend of wasps – though later he is not so sure. Fact File • There are more then one million different species of insect, divided into thirty major groups, separated mainly by differences in the wings and the methods of feeding. • Wasps have biting jaws, used for eating solid food (as have grasshoppers and beetles). The jaws are not inside the mouth, but are really special legs, just outside the mouth. There are sharp teeth on them which cut the food into small pieces. Other ‘legs’ around the mouth help to hold the food and put it into the mouth when it has been cut up. The jaws and other feeding limbs are collectively known as the mouth-parts of the insect. • The wasp’s sting is its means of defence. Unlike some other insects and animals which employ camouﬂ age as a protection, wasps depend on their bold colours as a warning to predators. Only female wasps can sting. • Some insects, such as the hoverﬂ y, survive because their colours resemble a wasp’s. Birds avoid them for this reason. There are many such examples of mimicry in a variety of harmless insects. Poem/Song It’s morning in the kitchen, Soon breakfast will begin; We’ll have bread with jam or honey And some fancy biscuits from the tin.

"It's Aimed at Kids - the Kid in Everybody": George Lucas, Star Wars and Children's Entertainment by Peter Krämer, University of East Anglia, UK
"It's aimed at kids - the kid in everybody": George Lucas, Star Wars and Children's Entertainment By Peter Krämer, University of East Anglia, UK When Star Wars was released in May 1977, Time magazine hailed it as "The Year's Best Movie" and characterised the special quality of the film with the statement: "It's aimed at kids - the kid in everybody" (Anon., 1977). Many film scholars, highly critical of the aesthetic and ideological preoccupations of Star Wars and of contemporary Hollywood cinema in general, have elaborated on the second part in Time magazine's formula. They have argued that Star Wars is indeed aimed at "the kid in everybody", that is it invites adult spectators to regress to an earlier phase in their social and psychic development and to indulge in infantile fantasies of omnipotence and oedipal strife as well as nostalgically returning to an earlier period in history (the 1950s) when they were kids and the world around them could be imagined as a better place. For these scholars, much of post-1977 Hollywood cinema is characterised by such infantilisation, regression and nostalgia (see, for example, Wood, 1985). I will return to this ideological critique at the end of this essay. For now, however, I want to address a different set of questions about production and marketing strategies as well as actual audiences: What about the first part of Time magazine's formula? Was Star Wars aimed at children? If it was, how did it try to appeal to them, and did it succeed? I am going to address these questions first of all by looking forward from 1977 to the status Star Wars has achieved in the popular culture of the late 1990s.
