This idea about science is one of Suzuki's main goals in writing this essay. He wants to create an awareness that just because scientists have had many great successes, they cannot determine how to deal with everything else on the planet. Suzuki creates a good relationship with the reader from the start. He makes general statements about Canadians which most of the audience either believes or can relate to. The writing is persuasive but the arguments are presented in a non- offensive manner which creates a good rapport with the reader. When Suzuki explains the scientific parts of his argument, he does so in a simplistic way which puts the reader at ease but serves its purpose in provoking thought. The author is quite serious and certain about his topic. These feelings are evident through his powerful writing and diction. "We need a very profound perceptual shift and soon." This is Suzuki's closing sentence for the essay. His suggestion for a change in people's perceptions is clear and direct, leaving ...
