What does the film Grizzly   Man teach us about the wildness of   nature and how human beings ought to relate to it? What, if anything, was the   mistake that led to Timothy Treadwell’s death? Did anthropomorphism (i.e.,   imagining the bears to have human characteristics) contribute to Treadwell’s   death? Is nature indifferent to human interests as filmmaker Werner Herzog   claims in his narration? Treadwell sees nature wonderful while Herzog sees it   as Darwinian and cruel; is one of them correct or is there a third option? In   what ways are both Treadwell’s and Herzog’s viewpoints on nature social   constructions as Cronon would put it? Cite specific details from the movie to   support your claims.
 

  Review your classmates’ posts. As you analyze their examples, consider   playing devil’s advocate and attempt to show how their analysis does not   capture the essence of the either Treadwell’s or Herzog’s position. If you   agree with others, enhance the discussion by including more supporting   evidence from the articles or from your own outside research.  
 

  Attend discussion on at least four separate days, and post a total of 800   words. There is no required word count for individual posts as long as all   your posts together total 800 words. Nor is there a minimum number of posts,   but you must post on at least four separate days by Day 7.
 

  Carefully review the Grading Rubric   for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your discussion.
