Welfare state

Art has been accompying human beings in their journey of exploring and discovering the world. Humans used art to praise, imitate, or criticize the world around them. Even though the themes of the art created differ across time, art usually serves as a mean to capture human’s life at given time. The earliest artwork I’m going to discuss is the Rock Art Ashurbanipal II Killing Lions. This particular art piece shows how much humans admired animal, but also their desire to destroy them. Humans…

In the United States we burn, cripple, and abuse over 100 million animals a year. I bet you didn’t know that. Also up to 90% of animals used in U.S. labs are not counted in the official statistics of animals tested. Europe, Israel and India have already banned animal testing, and the sale or import of newly animal-tested beauty products. That shows that it's more than just a few people who don’t like animal testing. For that many states to ban animal testing there must be something…

With the belief for being a “jungle, Africans live with animals, and that make them have pitch-black skin” (Pryor). Furthermore, “Africa is a jungle where men only, as hunters, know how to kill animals for food for their families, and because they live with animals, they talk and dance like them” (Spears). With thick trees, plants, and brush, Disneyland African jungle river adventure highly amplifies the belief that Africa is a jungle. Disneyland attracts millions of people from different parts…

Zoo, you Ruined my Life! Can you imagine living your whole life in a tiny cage, not being able to play with your friends or walk around? You’re separated from your family, all alone in an unfamiliar place. Almost everyday, a loud crowd of humans surround you, taking pictures and staring at you. Do you think that’s fun? No! Well, that’s life for many poor animals in zoos. Many oppose captivity in zoos, because the animals have a tremendous chance of going crazy, zoos aren’t educational as they…

Animal Rights is a great underrated problem that is very interesting to me. It has inspired me to not turn a cold shoulder to problems, but instead act on them. Animal Rights is significant to me, I would like to take some steps to identify a solution and also mention steps I have already took identify a solution. The reason Animal Rights is significant to me is the killing and exploitation of animals for food and entertainment. It is unethical to kill and eat an animal for tradition, palate…

In the novella, everybody suffers from a lack of purpose as an individual as this is seen through nearly all characters. In the beginning of the novella,Candy is seen as the only character who suffers from the attitudes of ageism in society. Being a person of no value due to his lack of physical strength on the ranch as we see his fate foreshadowed through the life of his dog. Like Candy his dog too suffers from ageism and to an extent becomes a burden to the ranch heads with its odour and lack…

Dogs need exercise so they dont get over weight and become lazy. Implamenting a dog park is a good idea to help fix that problem, but not everyone likes dogs. Having a dog park in a residential area is conveniant but is also obnoxous. Muscatine is in need of a dog park, it is important for dogs to get exercise. "Dogs that don't get exercise can act out by barking and destroying things at home."(A Dog Park Benefits All). This bad behavoir causes dogs to be left at shelter. A dog park would fix…

From “March Book One” (2013), Reflection Response to the text. Pg.29-30 “Of course any one can figure out the danger of making pets out of farm animals--especially chickens. You get emotionally attached to an animal that is destined to be on the dinner table, and you’re asking for a broken heart. But I couldn’t help it. More often than I liked, a grown hen or even a chick would die of more natural causes. For these birds I would conduct a funeral. This was not child’s play, I was genuinely…

I agree with the position of the Japanese and Norwegian whalers, in that an international ban on whaling seems to be enforcing strictly moral concerns on their whaling activity (Culture and Globalization, Levin Institute). Assuming that their whaling practices are conducted humanely, and do not create an undue strain on the population of the animals or the environment, I don't think it makes sense for them to be subject to any punitive measures by the international community just for hunting.…
