negative way and they tend to take the Earth and all it has to offer for granted, as shown in “My Life as a Bat” by Margaret Atwood, because people's feelings for bats are almost always negative, as well as in Hope for Animals and their World by Jane Goodall, because of how the American Burying Beetle has gone down in population. People interact with nature a a negative and horrible way. In “My Life as a Bat”, the author is writing about how people treat bats and how they tend to dislike…

Jane Goodall, British Primologist and Anthropologist said, “We haven’t inherited this planet from our parents, we’ve borrowed it from our children.” (Marx, 2014, p. 216) In the movie Dive! Jeremy Seifert levies a heavy indictment on the inhabitants of the earth, especially those of us in the United States. Based upon our current behavior; we will leave a planet to our children that they may not be able to enjoy or sustain effectively. Seifert provides a riveting, sometimes overwhelming…

“One thing I had learned from watching chimpanzees with their infants is that having a child should be fun” (Goodall). Children need guidance but children are children. A baby, human or otherwise, does not know what is safe to eat, what is safe to touch, what is safe to do; they must be taught everything. The knowledge of those that came before must be passed from…

underappreciated and not as valued as it probably should be. Jane Goodall’s essay “In the Forests of Gombe” shows the flip side of what we believe the natural world to be. In Goodall’s essay she describes the many things she has learned while spending time in Gombe. Of the many things she has learned she puts an emphasis on what non-human primates have taught her about humans. These teaching made her realize that the natural world is not so strange after all. Goodall discusses becoming one with…

If there is one person who deserves to be credited for making the world aware of gorillas and the troubles they face, it is Dian Fossey. Without her compassion for the mountain gorillas of central Africa, we might be living in a world where these magnificent animals no longer exist. Fossey lived among the mountain gorillas of the Virunga Volcanoes for nearly twenty years. She dedicated her life to them and died trying to protect them. Fossey was born in San Francisco, California, on January…

The chimps in the story create the ideas for their religion seemingly on their own with their own brains. So my question if those chimps had been released into the wild would their religious ideas have spread or would the chimps in the wild not be smart enough to comprehend the complex ideas. The chimps in the story were raised very differently from normal chimps in the wild. They were given a way to clearly communicate which most chimps do not have. So I wonder if all chimps would form a…

In Songs of the Gorilla Nation, Dawn Prince-Hughes shares her life and experiences with autism. In her quest to find answers and a diagnosis of her aspergers, she managed to bond with gorillas who allowed her to learn about herself and eventually formulate her own take on crip politics. While these aspects in theory demonstrate a broad and inclusive method of learning and understanding, including nonhuman animals in crip politics falls short in practice. Despite Prince-Hughes’ useful take on…

In the essay “Hope for Animals and Their World,” Jane Goodall attempts to persuade us about the importance of insects being part of the ecosystem. This essay proves the fact that insects and nature benefit us in several ways, such as helping crops grow, limiting the population of other bugs, and much more. However, we hardly return anything that benefits the ecosystem but instead, harms it. Goodall is capable of portraying this message through her ardent tone, as she is passionate towards…
