"A Hole in the World" summery

"A Hole in the World" by Naomi Klein, addresses and depicts the ignorance the American oil companies have toward Deep Water Horizon. Deep Water Horizon was an oil explosion on an oil drill at the Gulf of Mexico. Klein introduces the "promises" BP and president Obama have made to the people living through a dying ecosystem. Bp and Obama defend themselves by stating how "things will be better", and how they would "make it right." The people of the Gulf are tired of hearing this bull. They have simply "lost trust" in the corrupted administrations. Klein also discusses the extent of ignorance the oil companies had and still have toward the dangerous under-water oil drilling. When asked why these companies didn't think about how there could have been a possible crash in their drill, they responded with subconscious selfishness. They state that"[no one could have for-seen ] the circumstances that we are faced with now." This "un-for-seen" nonsense that the corporation and companies keep using can be seen clearly as a pattern, or in other words, lame excuse.It can be argued that the oil companies were only focused on getting oil. This led into the dismissal of possible consequences. Now, the Gulf is facing drastically harmful and possibly permanent or long lasting affects. The oil spill is not only affecting the animal life that surrounds the body of water, but it is also affecting "the land, the people,and the roots of that society." It can be concluded that BP, Obama, and other oil companies are simply shrugging their shoulders and thinking to themselves, we are killing of an ecosystem, a biodiversity, a natural home, but its alright just as long as we get our oil.
