The issue surrounding the Western Australian shark cull initiative will be the central topic of discussion in this critical essay. A rise in shark attacks in recent years has caused the Western Australian government to employ the Department Of Fisheries Western Australia to pursue a systematic and regulated cull of sharks. However the Greens – who are a political party and pressure group – are advocating for this cull to be stopped through lobbying.

Jaws was a movie that was made which clearly represents itself as a movie that follows a Hero 's Journey Narrative. The Journey begins with The Call, as part of the Departure. The Call begins once Sheriff Brody is first made aware of the shark attack that happens, before several more break out. He essentially accepts The Call by looking further into the attack, in case more come to his attention. The Initiation begins with the Apotheosis, after Brody discovers more shark attacks because he then possesses more knowledge on how to approach the problem. Finally, the Return begins and ends with the freedom To Live, where the town and all its citizens can swim in

Suspense was created in Jaws when the shark was described as "an angel of death", a scary image. As the shark approached Hooper, it "did not turn." The attack scares everyone. Similarly in Swimming with Nightmares, the shark's "Jaw crowded with jagged, needle-pointed teeth." This shows the shark is dangerous.

Released in 1975, Jaws was probably one of the best adventure, action, and suspense films of that era. Directed by Steven Spielberg with the following staring main cast members Roy Scheider as "Martin Bordy" (chief police officer), Richard Dreyfuss as "Matt Hooper" (marine biologist), Robert Shaw as "Quint" (local fisherman), Murray Hamilton as "Larry Vaughan" (town mayor). "Jaws" the movie, is not like any other any other fish story. The film is about a gigantic 26 foot shark that has an appetite for people; how horrifying is that? The unusual story takes place on the seasides' of Amity Island. When Chief Brody uncovers the partial body of a teenage girl with shark like bites, Chief Brody contacts a shark specialist to verify if the bite

To this day, many of us still see them this way. In fact, coastal states stared to host shark culling events. In these sometime month-long events, a state government will pay any fishermen to bring in a freshly killed shark generous amounts of money. Peter Benchley, the author of "Jaws" doesn't support shark culling, he in fact helped raise awareness about sharks becoming endangered. He wrote articles about how misunderstood sharks are (Benchley, Peter). This is now illegal in the United States, but is still practiced in countries such as Japan and Australia. Even in those countries, shark culling is on its way out. But

To kill, or not to kill? That was the question everyone was asking on the 6th of November, 2000, when Ken Crew was attacked and killed by a rogue shark off of Cottesloe Beach. Said shark also turned to attack Crew’s friend Dirk Avery who was able to escape with just a nip on the ankle and was soon followed by WA Fisheries Officials in a boat, one of whom was carrying a rifle and waiting for special permission from the Australian Government to shoot the shark. Eventually the Officials received an order to let the shark live but at that point the 5m long great white had disappeared into the ocean. The objective of this short essay is to examine the information the unit has given, develop an opinion on rogue sharks and then present my opinion as to whether rogue killer sharks should be killed or conserved.

Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975) and his other film Jurassic Park (1993) both contain a major theme of what makes a successful hero in society. In Jaws, police chief Martin Brody must successfully eliminate the threat of a Great White Shark from attacking Amity Island. In Jurassic Park, billionaire John Hammond creates a theme park where cloned dinosaurs come alive, hoping that his ideal resort becomes a major success. Through the use of film style elements, such as editing and mise-en scene, Spielberg develops Brody’s character as a person who must learn from his past mistakes in order to become a successful hero while Spielberg creates Hammond’s character as a man who only sees himself as a hero of science and technology without realizing

When many people think of sharks they think movies like Jaws, Deep Blue Sea, and Sharknado. These movies have influenced many people’s understanding of sharks and thus have changed their view on sharks. When people think of sharks often time they think of dangerous, man eating monsters that are just waiting to take a bite out of the next person they see. They are thought of as deadly creatures that should be eliminated. Well, those views are wrong. Sharks are generally docile creatures that would much rather swim in peace than attack people. Quite often when a shark attacks a human it has simply made a mistake and thought that that human was a seal or smaller fish. If interacted with properly then sharks prove to be calm creatures that

Duna. Duna. DunaDunaDuna Dunaaaa (Jaws Theme Song). Chomp. Movies about sharks are very stereotypical. Jaws the movie was exaggerating the attacks of sharks on humans. Jaws showed that sharks are just out to get humans. We are there main meal. That’s not true. They are very stereotypical about sharks and their history as I have said before. Well your “Man eating, flesh ripping” sharks hunt and attack the humankind by using their senses, methods of attacks, and aggressiveness in history.

The music represents the shark, especially its movements and its presence. In the title sequence the camera is moving along the seabed like a shark. Spielberg makes the audience believe that the camera is viewing things through the shark’s eyes, he uses a camera shot called point of view shot. The music makes the shark seem a mystery because you haven’t yet seen the shark but you can feel its presence. The music clouds your vision and makes you imagine and believe something that actually isn’t even there. It builds tension

     The fact that we do not see the shark makes the audience feel quite uneasy, as in a way we are uncertain of what the danger is. It also builds up a lot of fear, from our point of view.

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society’s article “The Brutal Business of Shark Finning” reminds us that sharks play a key role in the ocean as both predators and scavengers.

The second attack is on a small boy in the sea at a crowded beach on

The sharks are protected by the protection act since 1999, but Orgias (2012) reported the shark amounts will drop 60% to 95% in 50 years. Although, the decline will be slowed down by the protection act, but the increment still far less than the reduction. One of the reason is the sharks not really been protected, there are no evidence to show the sharks numbers have recovered since they have protection claimed by Wellbelove (2012). Another reason is the Sharks need a long time for pregnancy and reach to maturity period, so it is difficult to show the amounts of the shark have an apparent
