What does an identify have that unity doesn’t well there is more to that. In Roodan “The Ocean Reader: Theory,Culture,Politics” where both the ocean and humanities are two different entities that correlates with each other. Showing what is similar versus being completely different are two separate things that intertwines with each other. Roodan portrayal of human relationship with the ocean has a connection to how people in the modern era see things. The Ocean is a essential key part of world and is not really in our control in some way shape or form.
The central point of this piece that explains that the ideology is the Ocean is more than just something Humans are aware of and take advantage of and use for their personal gain like naming them, having it apart of certain terrestrial continents on earth. “there is one big Ocean, and while its regions have been conceptualized as separate bodies of water and named different Oceans, the fact is, they are all connected, and seawater travels widely and endlessly across these artificial geographic markers” (1,2). It has imply that their acknowledgement of what the ocean is and how they connect to the land they are closest to and maned after their land region. It is a concept that people have owned and signed an agreement to name ocean or land that they claim is a Nation as recognition of the people who live on it. The process of nationhood is a human way in the modern age to have two differ from each other by a particular characteristic. Having specific names have connections to humans as a geographic location.
The Ocean never really had capitalizes us humans in terms of our written language but it has with Mother Nature itself, It is seen as resource and not having much meaning to it because humans are dangerous creatures who just use it as something if needed in certain situations. The lack of the relationship between Humans and the Ocean itself. The ocean is just something to bypass by instead of thinking about how we need to respect it. The Ocean has carried knowledge that we know and It is one of the first things that developed majority of Earths current and extinct creatures that have lived as long the environment is livable and Us Humans don’t really acknowledged it in deep in thought. “Ocean is capitalized in this book”(3). As Roodan explains it has been going on for a claim for a formal name that we know it as. As much as it is a Ocean of nothingness in the surface level due to the lack of desire for exploration of the ocean and our relationship with it is mostly consists of just being used for human desires and never thought of much as a vital part of Earth to taken care of. The Ocean and many parts that make earth livable and responsible for influencing humans to think of borders of where they are in the world for some sort of a identity to have. Oceans often decides on weather conditions like storms, hurricanes and when the clouds will let water fall to ground and we see it as a rainy day outside.
In our Nations Politics have gotten involved in such as thing like having good knowledge, economics or even policies and someone is getting something and what the Ocean get Nothing. There is nothing to give the ocean from Humans and we should think more of why the Ocean has purpose instead of just seeing as a tool to get around by. The recognition of the Ocean is needed and what we choose to do as humans is nothing more than wanting more territory of who owns more and gets more. Most people recognize as a Domain and always have and still will and we have to take small steps to have better understanding of what the Ocean really is instead staying comfortable as we are. One example to have for the first step of recognizing it as a important part of our planet and knowing how to take care of it and too see how it affects the creatures who need the ocean to survive.
As Roodan puts it as he makes readers understand how to the oceans and how is our relationship with as a whole. To have some sort of meaning to the Ocean and how we treat it as it impacts our way of living and changing our ways would indeed help of healing our environment around us. The Ocean Identity is part of our world and no matter how we see it the Ocean is something to be acknowledged to all living creatures and it an environment worth protecting and is a Nation even without any named statehood boundaries made by Humans.
