In modern-day Scandinavia, people use the marine environment as an important part of their life. From large oil rigs to small fishing villages, Scandinavians uilizedt the marine environment that surrounds them. I know this quite well, from experience. My paternal grandmother was raised on a small island and fishing village off the cost of northern Norway, called Sommarøy, near Tromsø.

Killer and Orca whales have been found in captivity since the early nineteen sixties and are still found in captivity to this day.

The beautiful paradise, the island, is ruined just because of the arrival of man. The painted masks on the Hunters prove that there is a movement from civilization to savagery. As the Hunters paint their faces, the last bits of their civilized nature goes away. Their faces without the mask represents the civil part of…
In the essay “An Argument for Animalism” by Eric T. Olson, he concludes that personal identity is psychological continuity. I will disagree with Olson’s ideas about personal identity in the brain-transplant and the thinking-animal argument. The main point of the paper is about animalism. Olson’s argument is that each one of us is numerically identical to a human animal. Olson says that a person could exist who is not numerically identical to any animal, but it’s not the case for you and I. Olson…
