Abstract
Western imperial culture burdens Canadian society with an unjust hierarchy animals. Thinkers implicitly use hierarchy to arrange animals along a being, from creatures worthy to exist, to unworthy expendable victims. justifications hierarchy sometimes include subtle reasons that an animal is doomed. At other times, the need for justifying the existence one creature instead another is blatant. Whether subtle or obvious, the chain being projects a purpose onto everything within its purview. Colonial explorers must imagine the world in terms that allow an empire to conquer the animals that live in new territory. Therefore, the injustices imperialism result in a logical disconnection between the realities indigenous life forms and western societies. In the twenty-first century, the blinders that allowed Europeans to expand their political domains over the earth are being vigorously called into question. logical disconnection between western culture and the conquered world is being subverted by apparent imminent ecological catastrophes around the world. Canadians live in an ecologically diverse nation that is the political result cultural and ecological imperialism by several European powers. Comfort and survival depend on how well Canadians can overcome the legacies colonization by challenging the logic environmentally unsound thinking. People need to explore the reasons that they are facing so many impending global catastrophes. Catherine Owen, a Canadian poet, has written a poem, The Dodo (13), that reveals multiple layers prejudice in the legacy the dodo's extinction. The Dodo lays bare the rationalizations used to justify forced extinction in ways that allow readers to radicalize their own critical thinking about animal rights and the environment. Dodos are important to Owen because they are famous. She compares them to Mae West's dubious glamour and also to a poster child of the vanished. As for Owen herself, she claims that when she was a child the dodo was the only creature which she was aware that had been erased from the earth. For the dodo to be the only extinct creature that Owen knew about in her youth is a startling claim since every Canadian child knows about dinosaurs. However, extinction is not enough for describing the dodo. book in which The Dodo appears, Wrecks Eden, is about the tension between naturalists and their culture (22), as well as the pressures citizenship and modern human-driven extinction (48-49, 60). There must be a profound effect on her environmental politics and Canadian identity if awareness these tensions began to develop in her early youth. That the dodo stands apart even from dinosaurs suggests that Canadian children already develop a critical consciousness that distinguishes natural selection from irresponsible killing by humans. Owen noticeably foregrounds two ways that the dodo acts as a symbol hierarchy. One is a sort explanation based on competition or willpower. Competitiveness is a loose rationalization about evolution that is used as a justification for violence. second symbol is a subtler expression how that irrational sense competition now affects a claim to entitlement based on intelligence. At issue is the legitimacy extinction. Human selection, as opposed to natural selection, is based on conscious efforts to manipulate a species or habitat. Human society is replete with examples conscious selection in action (Darwin 71-100). There are also many examples extinction as an unintended consequence human expansion (Crosby 273) and development (Carson 111). Twenty-first century thinkers like Australian Susan Hawthorne (93-100) and Indian Vandana Shiva (Biopiracy 4-5; Stolen Harvest 12-1 A) have already made the point that the extinction a species through imperialist activities is the result illogical claims about how ecologies are constructed. …

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
