Anthropomorphism

In this paper, I want to focus on how society talks about pets and the ethical concerns around owning different animal beings. Through my experience of owning a turtle, I have realized he is not what anyone would consider a “pet” because society doesn’t regard him as a normal “pet”. I will argue the social construct of “pets” is harmful because it results in humans treating animal beings unequally. Childhood stories, fables and television portray turtles as being slow and cautious, which gave…

Children all grow up remembering cute animal story books that their parents read to them to make them fall asleep. There is “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Winnie the Pooh”, “The Hare and the Tortoise” etc. Something all these books have in common is the anthropomorphism of these animal characters.

The shaping of narratives by a composer’s context and values is not only evident but significant because it determines how a communicated idea could effectively resonate with the composer’s audience. This is because the ideas that composers try to communicate often hold beneficial value to one’s dealings in reality and for these pivotal ideas to successfully resonate, the way composers construct their narratives must be, to the very least, be reflective of the values their said society already…

Similarly, philosopher Mary Dale believed humans created God and also that the…
