I have supported both of these agencies ever since I was a little girl. Both of these protection programs have gone high and low, far and near, in order to protect wild life and sea life. I have been to the WWF in Washington and was able to see how they take care of animals, nourish them back to health, and set them back in their natural habitat. It was so inspiring to know they weren't dumped into zoos or beaten and trained in circus'. After the life changing experience I acquired at WWF, I researched and looked into Sea animal safety and came across MMPA. An organization quite similar to WWF but for marine animals shallow and deep. I have not had the pleasure of visiting the MMPA but look forward to do so in the future.

Earth Day Video

The main point of the Earth Day video was to show how many people have taken it seriuously ever since it started. It showed how people were blaming how killing the environment afftected things for health problem and pollution raise. The video stretched how pollution was able to kill the enviornment, create cancerous health problems, affect babies and causing a lot of stillborns, and many other hazardous problems. It talked about the chemicals in the pollution and how it doubled the amount of the problems the older it became.

Tokyo Rose

Tokyo Rose was a name given to about a dozen English-speaking female broadcasters for Japanese propaganda. Although, the name was most aimed toward Iva Toguri. A native to Los Angeles, stranded in Japan when war broke out, Iva's intent of the broadcasting was to mess with allied forces listening to the broadcast. American service men in the Pacific often listened to the propaganda broadcasts to get a sense, by reading between the lines, the effect of their military actions. Toguri often underminded the anti-American scripts by reading them in a playful, tongue-in-cheek fashion, even going as far as warning her listeners to be aware for "subtle attacks'' in a demeaning manner.
Farther from the action, stories circulated by Tokyo Rose could be unnervingly accurate, even able to name units and servicemen. Toguri's prominence saw her branded as one of the war's most notorious propagandists, but evidence shows that she was not a Japanese sympathizer. Toguri's program became conflated with vicious propaganda, resulting in her arrest after Japanese surrender. Convicted with treason, Toguri was sent to jail, then arrested and released from prison in 1956. For WWII, the name Tokyo Rose was used against female propagandists, but mainly against Iva Toguri.
