In these findings we see that animals have emotion like they feel pain, get stressed, get happy and feel love like humans do. To support his claim he explains that there are studies that suggest that animals can acquire language skills, use tools, show self-awareness and pass on knowledge to the next generation. Through stating that animals are more like humans he wants humans to treat animals better.…

    This is shown through their ability to understand (by themselves and through training) the situation that is taking place. For example, after training, if the dog's owner has asked it to 'sit' or 'stay' the dog is able to easily comprehend what is being asked of them, therefore do as they are told. A dog's intelligence can also be shown through police dogs. These dogs are trained to help in many ways. They use their senses and track specific smells to find suspects, bodies, etc.…

    “Describe some research studies which have addressed the issue of whether non-human animals have a “theory of mind ', and explain what these studies have allowed psychologists to conclude in answer to the issue.” Chimpanzees are humans closest relatives and therefore are a good animal to study when attempting to assess whether non human animals have a theory of mind. This essay will attempt to first define what is meant by theory of mind, then will look at three studies and their approaches to researching theory of mind in non- human animals. It will briefly summarise, in turn, what each study attempted to achieve, how the study was conducted, and the subsequent finding of each study, specifically looking at areas of theory of mind which relate to chimps ' understanding of human problem solving and visual perception in both humans and other chimpanzees. “Theory of mind” refers to the way in which people understand other humans as thinking beings.…

    Humans have memories and imaginations of their own but reason and thoughts differentiate humans from animals. Humans have a unique mind which can connect on thought that may have taken years ago and connect it to a thought that may be recent. For example, you are at a retail store and you start to crave ice cream. This may seem random but if you try to remember this can go back to when you had ice cream while shopping and you enjoyed that moment a lot. Some moments are connected and thoughts are a part of that…

    Have you ever heard dogs bark, birds chirp or cat’s meow? We may not understand their language, but animals need only to be observed to be understood. My belief has long been that animals are conscious, much more so than we give them credit for. Animals learn to respond to different stimuli, they learn to perform upon command, they communicate and, I believe, they understand certain feelings. Researchers who have similar curiosities about animal consciousness have observed animals such as monkeys, rats, spiders and dogs.…

Descartes offers up “I think therefore I am” in First Meditations on Philosophy (Descartes, 1641), which has it’s fair share of problems but one wishes to use this quote to illustrate that while Descartes only proved that ‘I’ exist within one 's own mind, there is nothing to say that this must extend to others too. Or even to anyone but Descartes and Myself. And while that may seem an irrational claim, one shall go on to justify why this claim may hold as much rationality as its negation.…
