Construction Worker Observation

Improved Essays
Oddly, the group I analyzed was mixed with all kinds of different people. These contrasting personalities all bonded over the one thing they all had in common: their dogs. Even if they had a dog entirely opposite of another, they still found a common topic that had to do with their canines. The diverse range of people who attend the dog park was tremendous. A conversation between two people that stood out the most to me was between a hippie and a construction worker. The construction worker had these tattoo laced arms with a bald head and muscular body. Expectantly, the hippie had a colorful bandana wrapped around his long brown hair and a frail frame. Even their dogs were the complete opposite, the construction worker had two outgoing pitbulls. …show more content…
Every single person their said yes, that they view them as children, brothers, sisters, or best friends. Although a human and dog are two different species, they still form a family. For some, such as Justin, his dogs were the only family he had. Justin claimed that Bella and Brusky, his two dogs, ¨are all [he] has for family and they are basically [his] kids.¨ Everyone at the park agreed that their companions will always be considered their family and they would give so much for them to be happy. Overall, all of the people who attend are there for the same thing: to socialize. While their dogs run and play, the owners partake in conversation and share stories and advice that allow them to connect to each other. Plus, they gain new knowledge or meet a new breed they have never seen before. To conclude, the most positive place I have ever been would be the dog park. The majority of dogs and people are joyful and energetic. They emit a positive aura that adjusts your mood as soon as you pass through those two gates. Honestly, the people their are the best kind of people to be around. If they didn’t follow human courtesies, they would all be just like the dogs. Sniffing each other’s rear ends while their long pink tongues hang out of the side of their mouths. They would all joyfully be loping about socializing with everyone and not giving a care as to how they

    We are all the same Did you know that animals and humans are alike in many different ways? It has been proven by many universities and scientist. In a recent article I just read in the LA Times Newspaper is called “A Change at Heart about Animals” by Jeremy Rifkin.

    They were questioned on breed stigma, their experience with their animal, how others reacted to them having a Pit Bull, and why they decided to adopt a Pit Bull (Arluke, Patronek, Twining, 2001). After the survey they found that most owners were highly frustrated and concerned about their animal (para 11). They could tell that people were fearful when their animal would be around; people even avoid them at all costs when seeing the Pit Bull out in public (para 12). People would ask them questions like, “Why would you get a dog like that?”, and they would feel very judged (para 27). They loved their animals, but they were unsatisfied with how people treated them because of it.…

    In the argument about dog parks for residents with pet dogs, I totally agree that they should be provided with a park for their animals. I agree because, i dont think a simple walk around the neighborhood is not to much exercise on a daily. Exercise is important to dogs' mental and physical health. Also another reason would be because according to (ASPCA) "dogs that dont get exercise can act out at home by barking or destroying things at home. Socializing is important too.…

    One of the most puzzling questions is “what does it mean to be human?” The definition of human is “ A member of the primate genus Homo, especially a member of the species Homo sapiens, distinguished from other apes by a large brain and the capacity for speech”("human"). The definition should also include “thoughts, intelligentes, are self-aware and have emotions”, because humans are complex and unique animals. All though Humans are very similar to chimps, “sharing 98 percent of our genes and many behaviors”, humans stand out due to their level of complex thoughts (Hsu). Some animals share characteristics with humans, such as social groups and communication, but humans take things to an unmatched level.…

    I do believe it is possible to form such a close-knit group in contemporary American society because sometimes people who went through the same things can become really close to one another, but they don't necessarily need to have the same experiences just agree on the same things. For example me and my friend group some of us have went through the same things but not all of us and some of use have been friends since elementary school and we all agree mostly on the same things but we all have different taste were like a mixture of different people, but we are still we are all extremely close…
