Meme

a) Why the meme is interesting, insightful, and/or funny

The above meme addresses fundamental issues concerning two cultures that have been

set into activation by another set of legally endorsed but gradually hurting behaviors. It is

quite discernible from the meme that societies needed industrial growth to drum up progress

in several life perspectives. However, the populace has not actualized their industrial dreams,

as would be described as the best-case scenario. Several ills managed to accompany industrial

growth with it. One principal ill, as laid bare by the meme, is a threat to our environment. The

future of the natural environment has severely been affected by human activities chiefly

among them being the industrial emissions. There is already a worry that all vegetation shall

be swept off the earth’s surface by 2050, as the meme portrays.

b) How it connects to other memes that have been made on related topics or in that genre

of a meme.

Memes characteristically possess the ability to develop and spread from one person to

another or even one culture to another (Milner, 2016). The above meme describes a culture

that was embraced by old generations but became passed down to the current generation. The

idea of industrialization was such great in the gone centuries. It became part of human life for

the last few centuries until the moment it was discovered how it aggressively contributed to

global warming.
