After reading the book “Carly’s Voice”, I now have a new perspective on autism and how it those with the disorder experience the world and the effects it can have on families. I learned that people with autism are still people with inner voices that are just like those without (considering different personality types). Prior to reading the book, I viewed people with autism as “different on the inside”, I now know that is not so and people with disorders should all be treated that…

Regarding Bob Stevens’ response to Rifkin’s editorial “A Change of Heart About Animals”, I would like to point out that Stevens’ arguments are quite weak. Most noticeable is Stevens’ overt use of hyperbole, by which he attempts to poke holes in Rifkin’s writing. While Rifkin simply mentions the practice of providing pigs with toys to keep them happy, Steven’s makes the unnecessary claim that providing pigs with toys shows that they matter more than children, and that this will ultimately lead to children having no toys. Not only is this a fallacy (a slippery slope fallacy to be exact), but this is obviously not true. With all of today’s manufacturers and caring parents, it’s highly unlikely that this sort of thing would happen.…

The act of holding wild animals in captivity, specifically for the purpose of entertainment has led many people to associate their abnormal behaviors to psychological suffering. Local zoos and aquariums seem to draw most of the attention from the general public about captive wild animal rights and welfare; however, many forget that traveling circuses are just as much at fault. Coming into one’s hometown once or twice a year, the traditional circus puts on a ‘spectacular show’ using wild animals as part of the main attractions. In essence, they serve as the living props for the actors and actresses that run the show. Among these animals, the most iconic of them all, are the Asian and African elephants.…

"(Davis, BrainyQuote.com) These two quotes, both by the Afro-American civil-right activist, philosopher, human scientist and author Angela Davis, show what she thinks about the American prison system.…
Hesse G. Sambaan September 25, 2017 Comp II What’s wrong with the animal rights by Vicki Hearne Vicki Hearne thinks that there is more for animal satisfaction for happiness that is the personal achievement. Animals find happiness in their work that they do that you can call “talent”. She believes that animal right advocates got all it wrong, making some of the animals suffer and they are more concern of arguing than the animal’s happiness.

In life, the most successful and strongest of figures would be, and are nothing without the support of the people around them, no matter how simple or in what form.

The story revolves around his quest to uncover and make sense of his buried family secrets, with the help of a number of minor characters along the way. Many of the novel’s minor…
