...In the articles, “ A Change of Heart About Animals “ by Jeremy Rifkin and “ Hooked on a Myth “, by Victoria Brathwaite, both authors attempt to persuade their audience to rethink their opinions on if we should give animals rights.The authors state good reasons why we should give animal rights. They also make the audience question many important things on how we should treat our animals. Another good point they state in the article is if we do decide to give animal rights will this affect the way we live? This topic is very iffy because we can side on either sides based on reasoning. Researchers have found evidence on how our fellow creatures are similar to us than we ever thought. Does this mean we have to treat our animals with more respect and do you think they deserve a Bill of...

...I am writing to you regarding Jeremy Rifkin’s article, “A Change of Heart About Animals.” He claims that animals deserve more rights than they already have. I disagree because he says that animals such as pigs should receive more attention and receive toys to have the pigs from fighting each other. But, in third world countries human children don't even have any toys at all. So, is Rifkin trying to say that animals are more important than children. Rifkin also say’s that , “Germany recently became the first nation to guarantee animal rights in its constitution.” Is he trying to that Germany is better than the U.S nicely.If there is one thing that we like the most it's our livestock and our view of livestock is food something that keeps our...

...Dear Editor, Jeremy Rifkin’s findings published in “A Change of Heart about Animals” made me realize that animals can undergo pain, suffering, and affection just like us. The society is indebted to Rifkin for showing that animals are actually more identical to us than we thought. Rifkin just stated the obvious and argued how we should give animals more care and respect. The research conducted on whether animals can experience emotions like pain and fear rationalizes the adoption of laws protecting animals from lab experiments or human consumption . I agree with Rifkin,animals should not get abuse, kill, or hit. They are just like humans who have family to go to, take care of, and feed. An example are pets because they know...

...Atwood 1 Kimberly Atwood Mr. Evans ERWC 22 October 2014 Letter to the Editor In "A Change of Heart about Animals", Jeremy Rifkin states that animals experience pain, suffering and affection. (2) While Rifkin is correct, he ultimately fails to persuade the reader to have a change heart about animals because of his use of word choice and the statement about Koko the gorilla. Rifkin's use of word choice makes us believe certain things that aren't necessary true. Like how he uses the word groom instead of brushed to make us believe that Chantek, an orangutan, is paying lots of detail to himself and making sure he looks good, but when in fact Chantek is probably just playing with his hair. However I do agree with Rifkin's comment about pigs....

...counseling and support. If no treatment occurs then a person may not be able to participate in normal activities, lose their independence or become depressed. Cardiac Hypertrophy When there is increased stress on the heart, hypertrophy of the heart muscle occurs. There are two ventricles of the heart; the right ventricle and the left ventricle. The right ventricle is responsible for pumping blood to the lungs and the left ventricle is responsible for pumping blood to the body. When there is an increase in blood pressure to either the lungs or body, overtime the ventricle thickens, resulting in hypertrophy. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, dizziness or fainting Doctors use electrodiagrams which records electrical signals as they travel through a patient’s heart. Patterns of these signals are observed for indication of abnormal heart muscle. Echocardiogram and EKGs are also used in diagnosing cardiac hypertrophy. Depending on the underlying cause of the condition will determine whether surgery or medication is needed. Medications include: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), Thiazide diuretics Beta blockers and/or Calcium channel blockers If cardiac hypertrophy is not treated heart failure, arrhythmia,...

...COMMUNITY TEACHING SUMMARY Tien Nguyen Grand Canyon University Concepts in Community and Public Health NRS-427V Judith Crook January 22, 2015 COMMUNITY TEACHING SUMMARY Introduction: In Seal Beach health and rehabilitation center, most of patients are in the 50s and the majority have problems with controlling the blood pressure. Even though there are medical interventions such as antihypertensive medications, most of patients have not understood the important of other restrictions and activities or many other interventions to control the blood pressure. Therefore, the proposed teaching plan provides patients the essential knowledge of how to control hypertension and additional interventions after discharge including a healthy diet and a active lifestyle. However, there are some barriers during introducing the teaching plan to the community or encouraging patients to make lifestyle changes. This paper describes the experience after the hypertension teaching session, the audience’s response, and better approach which can be done to improve the audiences’ health. Epidemiological Rationale for the Topic: According to data from the CDC, more than 67 million (1 in every 3) adults in the U.S. have lived with high blood pressure problems; 53% of those have been controlled by hypertensive medical advice. In California, an estimated of 27% adults have hypertensive problem in 2009 ("CDC," 2014). In 2010, hypertension are one of the most popular health problem in many communities...

...For my third nine weeks project, I chose to do my research on a condition of the circulatory system called Atherosclerosis. The circulatory system is arguably the most important system in the body because it includes the heart and blood, which most people view as the symbol of life itself. If your heart beats, you are alive. I am most interested in the circulatory system, because it’s fascinating and also very relatable for me as my mom and dad both struggle with different circulatory issues. For me it’s interesting because I am able to learn and understand their conditions better due to informative teaching. Before I explain the disease, I should first explain how and what the circulatory system does in the human body when healthy. The circulatory system,...

...Summary of Method This method is to use love, compassion, and service to reach people. We have to remember to always have a smile on our face and do this with a generous heart. Meaning that we want to the work of a servant, just as Jesus set an example by washing the disciple’s feet (John 13:1-17). Jesus wants to show that no one is above doing a servant’s work. I also see motivation of servant evangelism in Mathew 25. Jesus is telling his deciples to feed the hungry, give the homeless shelter and cloths, take care of the sick, and meet the essential needs of people, when doing this; it would be the same as if the disciples were meeting the needs of Jesus. Savant Evangelism is more about showing love thru the gospel rather than speaking the gospel. Advantages of Using This Method People tend to remember negative things about people or groups rather than to remember the positive things about the same people or groups. The advantage to Service Evangelism is that it can change the perception that people may have about Christians. Even though negative perception has been brought on to the Christian by themselves throughout time, but people unfairly put all Christians in a negative category. People do not easily remember that hospital, orphanages, and homeless shelters that were started by Christian organizations. Christians should be more active in the roll of showing that someone cares in the lost and dieing world. There is an old saying, “People do not...
