Answers from Kantonsschule Limmattal

03. The topic of climate change arouses a number of strong emotions in people.

Asked by: Liverpool High School (3) | Kantonsschule Limmattal

a) Write down your emotional feelings for the words “anger, responsibility, hope and indifference” in connection with the topic of climate change.

 

b) Which kind of emotion do you feel most strongly in connection with the topic of climate change? (This does not have to be one of the four mentioned above). Explain the reasons why.

a) We're angry because no one realizes the dimension of the climate change and we think that everyone has a bit responsibility to take care to our environment. We hope that more people will join such organisations like myclimate. The indifference which most of the people have makes us angry and sad. We hope that that will change.

 

b) In some way it makes us angry how the people show indifference but often we don't think about the climat change and sometimes we feel also helplessness because we think that we can't change the pollution.

Thanks for the interesting answers! Your anger is intelligible and shows that you are concerned about our planet's condition. Concerning feelings of helplessness you might consider the fact that one person alone (or a small group) cannot change the polution indeed, but if everybody makes his or her contribution to a clean environment, a change of the condition is possible! As you wrote in answer a) - everybody has a bit responsibility - a very important point!
