This video clip on youtube is very useful because of the message it poses to its audience. The clip is actually a public awareness video, meant to send a powerful message to the public. This particular one deals with global warming. It shows a train speeding toward the camera, with a man in front of it. He is able to get out of the way of this fast moving disaster, saying he wont be directly affected by global warming, but there is a little girl in front of him. The poses the question that we as a society have the ability to slow down global warming, and therefore save the little girl in this metaphor. This issue of global warming is no joking matter, our world needs to do everything in its power to stop this epidemic. Sea levels are warming, poles are thawing, temperatures are rising etc. This clip is just trying to raise awareness of this very popular and controversial issue, and hopefully people will see it.
