PSA

Dear Audience,

PSA, Public Service Announcement. This is a commercial that make you aware of what is going on in our world, a world issue. Unfortunately there are way too many issues in our world that prevent world peace. These issues occur because we did not deal with them before they became bigger and terrorized everyone on this earth. These problems are still growing and changing, and the changes are negative ones, but we can all learn and try together to make these negative changes into positive ones. This is not a one-man job, it is a world job; everyone has to be on board and if not everyone, then a band of people who do want to make this bad change into good change.

There are so many world issues now that people feel as if one is more important then another. If these issues are world issues then they are all equally as important. We, as people, and as global citizens need to band together and help turn negative events into something productive. I am one of those people who was more passionate about one world issue then another, but I began to think. I am a huge believer that shark fining should be illegal. Most people do not see what the big deal of fining sharks is because people believe that sharks are deadly man eaters that kill people every year, year round. These living creatures only kill three people a year whereas elephants kill more than ten people a year, and pop machines kill more than 20 people a year. These statistics are the cold truth. Sharks are not as dangerous as you think they are, they are humble creatures that only bite because of mistaken identity. Rob Stewart, the Canadian documentarist, (not the singer), filmed, directed, produced, and wrote an award-winning documentary called Sharkwater that shows the truth about sharks, shark fining and shows what killing all these sharks will do to our environment and lets the illegal fisherman know, "That the truth will surface."(Stewart Sharkwater). Sharks control two thirds of our world's oxygen and without them we would not be able to live on this earth, without them there would be no us. We as people believe that we have the right to choose what lives and what dies, but we don't, no one does. So why do we think we do?

I believe that if we, as global citizens, stopped something like shark fining and joined together as a group. we can stop anything. Doing this one thing could click in our heads and make us think, if we could do this then we can stop world hunger, child abuse, or anything we set our hearts to. With everyone joined together as brothers and sisters, as husband and wife, we, the people of this great nation of capability, of hope, and of dreams, can stop anything. We can change the bad into good and work hard at making this world a place of peace and happiness. We can feed hungry children, we can have everyone in our world go to school, we can stop violence, and we can prevent negative change. We, not I, but we are the people of this century and if we apply ourselves to something good, we are the generation who can achieve world peace by stopping one simple thing like shark fining and Press Start on the good change.

Yours Only,
