In my opinion I think animals are Intelligence because of a woman,

was saved by a dog.She was trapped in snow and was yelling for someone

to help,but no one came to observe.Until,a dog came looking at her,circling

around her.Until the dog put both paws on her hands to help her get up.That day

that dog was named most helpful dog of the year.

I once had a dog named Daisy that died this year,2016.When I first saw

her she really didn’t know anything.But as years passed,her mind started to

adapt,and learned what we are saying.So,every time we told a command/order

that she knew,she would do it.She even kind of knew,how to talk,if she ever

wanted something she would make a noise out of her mouth,as if she were

talking.That was until I came from school and found her

In the excerpt, “Do Animals Think?” ,it shows how a man Gustaff Wolf, was talking

about a horse,Clever Hans, and his experiences.At first it talks about how the horse starts to

learn more about things.But as you go further out it talks about how smart the horse actually

    The juxtaposition employed in James Wright’s “A Blessing” creates an ominous mood and reveals a more somber undertone. Superficially, “A Blessing” appears to be a simple poem about ponies, however, Wright’s use of contrasting diction creates a dark mood that alters the meaning of the poem as a whole. When the speaker and his friend first approach the horses, their eyes “[d]arken with kindness” (Wright 4). By contrasting the light emotion of kindness with physical darkness, the author generates a foreboding disconnect that creates an overall darker mood.…

    Cognitive Animals Some people believe elephants are not cognitive animals. However, “Elephants Can Lend a Helping Trunk”, “Elephants Know When They Need a Helping Trunk in a Cooperative Task”, and “Elephants Console Each Other” prove those people wrong. The passage, “Elephants Can Lend a Helping Trunk”, explain that elephants know when to use teamwork in order to accomplish a task. For instance, in “Elephants Can Lend a Helping Trunk”, a group of Asian elephants learned that in order to achieve a bowl of corn, they had to pull together.…

    According to Hermes, the messenger of the Greek gods, “Human Intelligence is not a gift. It is an occasional plague” (15). Many people on earth become distressed, troubled or conflicted in life due to their intelligence allowing their conscious mind to experience harmful events. The human mind is not a gift; rather, it is a curse given to humans to endure and suffer from. This curse is seen in the novel Fifteen Dogs by Andre Alexis, as human intelligence allows a pack of fifteen dogs to create their own language, lose their canine roots, develop a sense of love and create a lust for power which ultimately creates conflict in their lives.…

    PHI 1000 Fall 2016 Prof. Drain Essay #2 Thoughts on Thought After examining the several angles to the issue of animal cognition, it is my conclusion that non-human animals are in fact capable of thought. Although humans certainly display a superior cognitive ability, I believe the cognition of animals is not of an entirely different type, and that whatever difference remains is simply one of degree. While Davidson and Descartes tend to argue that language is a necessary component for rational creatures, Hobbes and Searle give non-human creatures more “cognitive credit,” citing their ability perceive, and to have and correct beliefs, as proof of being conscious, thinking, beings. Pointing to the immense biological similarities between humans…

    The view that we are human animals, "animalism", is a very unpopular view. However, those who deny it face an awkward choice. They must either deny that there are any human animals, deny that human animals can think, or deny that we are the thinking things located where we are. It is a truism that you and I are human beings and that a human being is a kind of animal: roughly a member of the primate species Homo sapiens. It would naturally seem to follow that we are animals.…
