SUMMARY Nature does not like to joke, it is always true, always serious, always severe, and it is always right. Only people are wrong. (J.V. Goethe) Every day the world and the people living here are surprised by the changes in nature. Although they seem to be very chaotic and unpredictable, all of the processes have a starting point and the end results. It seems strange, but people with their actions and deeds have a huge impact on the whole mechanism of nature. Taking into account relevant problems, I have chosen for the master work a modern-day social problem, based on an ecological theme, which is called a visual advertising project \"Reminder\" („Priminimas“). The main objective of the master work: to pay people's attention to the reasons of the rise of natural disasters with the help of the project. To analyze and reveal the master's thesis I have taken the four key elements of the world, i.e. earth, fire, water, air, and also life and death. A person is accompanied daily by these four elements: our land is the breadwinner, the fire heats, the water refreshes the thirst, and a man is unable to survive without air. All of them gave the beginning of life countless thousands of years ago and sustains it to this day. Unfortunately, a human being is improving every day more and more and technology finishes to surpass itself, various inventions and their development, however, are turning to the material side. Civilization kills our home - nature. Oil, gas, minerals, land fertilized with pesticides, car exhausts, huge factories and millions of more unlisted ways to \"exploit\" the Earth, and what businesses are made from its \"good\". The human mind is evolving not for the well-being of the Earth and its nature but for man’s more storage space of his pocket. However, as we can notice more and more often, everything has a beginning and an end. The end is death, which nowadays more often visits the mankind manifesting itself by extremely painful natural disasters, killing thousands of lives. This master paper examines the most relevant causes of occurrence of disasters, which \"weave\" earthquakes, fires, tornadoes, tsunamis, and many other countless disasters in our everyday life. |
