Atwood's representation of lack of enviromental ethics in the novel the year of the flood [recurso electrónico]
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This work seeks to gather evidences of lack of environmental ethics in the novel The Year of the Flood of the Canadian writer Margaret Atwood. In this novel there is a presence of controlling power, which acts as the right hand of Corporations to manipulate humans and nature through the misuse of technology and other important aspects of the environmental ethics. This analysis has the task of recognizing and interpreting Atwood¿s perspective about the relationship between human beings and nature from an ecocritical approach. The analysis led us to highlight Atwood´s conception of recovery of the Earth and the reflection of respect towards all beings of the world, as well as the understanding of the fact that between nature (including living and non-living beings) and human beings there is no superiority; however, Nature, the mother of all, is dying because of our hand. The results show that in Atwood¿s novel is a warning: She calls for attention in the name of the beings that cannot talk and the Earth itself, which is receiving the worst part of men´s behavior: destruction and decay.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

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; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
