Chameleon

I breathed harder and faster with every fraught step I take. Run, run faster is the only thought that’s going through my brain. I have broken so many laws, making me the most wanted person in Pangea. It’s 2070 and the rest of the world is covered in water. The government is desperate on making more space on this 1 continent of land that is a barrier between the human race and the never ending sea. Everything was destroyed 10 years ago from the suffocating choke that the ocean’s hands pressed…

When Andres Breton first used the word surrealism, he claimed ownership of the word, attributing it to the movement and claiming it was independent from any prior associations. From that point in time in 1924, surrealism thinking has come far in terms of the depth of interpretation through a variety of works that have been published ever since. This progress is best exemplified with Breton’s original manifesto and Anais Nin’s more recent novel, House of Incest, where there is a similarity in…

In addition, when animals are represented as transfigured humans, both Disney films and oral folktales highlight the superiority of humans in relation to animals by conflating happiness with the restoration of the human condition. In The Emperor's New Groove, Kuzco regains his human form, is reinstated as emperor, and shares his wealth with Pacha and his family. In The Princess and the Frog, Navene and Tiana regain access to the human condition because of Tiana's new status as a princess, and…

Influences of Sexual Behaviors Throughout the course of history, natural law inadvertently created a culture that in and of itself bears a certain level of responsibility in shaping the sexual behaviors of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations. The principles of natural law as standards have been applied to theories of ethics, politics, civil law, and religious morality (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, 2011). Digress to 636c, and the dialogs of Plato, who’s writing…

Peter Singer is a well-known ethicist who rights about his thoughts that animals and humans should have equal interests. Before deciding to debate this topic I took the time to read Singer’s “All Animals are Equal”. After reading this I believe that Singer ignored the reality of nature to build his argment; however, one cannot just simply “forget” the irreversible acts of nature. There is a great debate over wether animals should have rights that are equal to a humans rights. In Singer’s theory…

Admittedly, a social justice filter was not in question when designing my lesson plan. Retrospectively, I have realised the value of socially just pedagogies towards the advancements of student participation and overall outcomes. A socially just classroom is not simply built on fair and equitable principles, but offers students the opportunities to question and take action, in order to become culturally global citizens (Hackman, 2005, p.104). For the purpose of this task, I have selected an…

One day in Zootopia, Judy Hopps was tracking a rogue chameleon. The color changing animal had been stealing ties from Billy, a goat who owned a suit store. It was a sunny day in the city, with predators and prey walking together in the streets. Suddenly, a thundering boom sounded all across Zootopia. A strange pod had appeared in the town square! Out of it came large creatures with no fur or feathers. These, of course, were humans. There were ten of them, standing tall above the citizens of…
