This article demonstrates the damage many fisherman in the Philippines are causing to their own environment. Fisherman are attempting to catch fish by using dynamite. The dynamite destroys the coral reefs, and kills many fish that aren't even going to be sold on the market. They're using illegal methods of catching tropical fish. There are many consequences of destroying coral reefs and stones. These methods also may add poison to the fish.
This is similar to pollution in Asia, which we learned about in this unit. Due to most of Asia's population and industry, a lot of pollution is polluting the air in Asia. There's also destruction of natural resources in Asia. This is not a good thing do to the fact they don't have many natural resources available.

Crossing Popculture
An example of pop culture here & in Asia would be the singing groups. Such as a popular girl band named "Girls Generation". They're extremely popular in Asia, especially in Japan, Korea, and China. They travel all over asia to sing and perform. Something similar to this group in America would be One Direction (EW..) . They're a boy group that sings, and performs just like the girl group in Asia.
