His utopian trip becomes an injustice to those who deserve more than the rest who aren’t…

Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Women, was one of the first feminist philosophical works. The theme of this passage, excerpted from the reading, is she wants men and women to have equal rights and opportunities, especially when it comes to education.

In the article “All Animals Are Equal” by Peter Singer, Slinger expresses how animals and humans should be treated the same. Stinger expresses how humans treat other humans with respect but don’t necessarily treat animals the same way some humans even treat them with cruelty. Animals are very similar to humans, some more than others but we need to treat them with as much respect as we treat any human today. Stinger defines speciesism in this article as a prejudice or attitude of bias in favor of…
