1. We
interact with these species mainly because of human-shark attacks. Because of
this, society tends to view sharks as the enemy and consider them to be the
most dangerous species alive. On the Discovery Channel, for the first week of
August, the channel only shows episodes relating to sharks. This is also known
as “shark week.” These shows include:
human-shark attacks, documentaries about sharks, discoveries of new shark
facts, etc. Something else to consider is the movie Jaws. Ever since the release of this movie, the fear of sharks has
spiked. Also, especially in the Asian culture, people enjoy eating shark fin
soup. Shark fin soup is a luxury to consume because it is only eaten by the
wealthiest people and is a sign of wealth. However, this is a threat to sharks
because they are already endangered species. Overall, sharks are viewed at a
negative light.
