Importance Of All Living Organism

Throughout all the years of evolution and changes within species humans have found their way into the dominating role. Even stories in the bible discuss how humans should treat the earth and how they should act toward living organisms. Our environment is made up of millions of different living organisms reacting differently to all types of scenarios. People start to question why humans feel that they are superior to all other life forms. Humans are not the strongest or biggest species in the world and some can argue that we are not the smartest. All living organisms need each other to survive and it is up to humans to learn to interact with other species in a way that keeps every one safe. In this paper I will argue that all living organisms …show more content…
This theory discusses if all living organism should be part of our moral beliefs when we think of the environment. Beyond the fact that animals have a place in society, so do all living organisms. Plants, Trees, and Algae all have a place on this earth, and they all benefit the earth is different ways. Plants provide nutrients to all living organisms, from fish to humans. Even though plants do not feel pain, we still see them as acceptable in the world. All plants do is benefit society in many ways. A tree is made up of different individual living parts that benefit the organism. The roots functions are to provide nutrients to the tree and the bark functions to protect the tree. Since all of these parts are living to benefit the tree, then we should view them as something that can be harmed or benefitted. The make up of the overall tree is living and morally humans do not want to kill trees. Trees provide the earth with oxygen and shelter. Since the overall function of the tree is positive, each one of its living parts should be considered a part of the tree. It is not ok to ruin some of the tree because each part of the tree makes up the whole. The argument of just feeling pain is now extended to all living …show more content…
The truth is that we as humans are the single organisms that can completely destroy the earth, but if we were to disappear the earth with still function for millions and millions of years. We are selfish human beings and when it comes to thinking about the environment, we think about it in a selfish way. If killing off species of organisms will help benefit us as humans, then we will do it regardless of the morality of our beliefs. When we talk about the environment the question the article brings up is irrelevant to the argument. If killing off all the dogs in the world would keep humans living on earth longer than regardless of our feelings about dogs eventually all the dogs in the world will be dead. With this argument in mind, there is no argument to why we morally have a right to kill animals for food. We have plenty of other sources of sustainable food that can grow and regrow. We may need protein, but killing animals to get it has no moral standing. For example, if we kill a cow we deprive it of the rest of it’s existence on this earth. It could have lived a happy life and even raised a family. Killing this animal is morally wrong because we have no strong reason to justify why it should not be living. In fact, the only reason we have is that cows are an important source of meat and meat is something we need to
