...Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or "ASPCA", is a non profit organization dedicated to preventing cruelty of animals. There are abused animals all over America and ASPCA wants to find and rescue these animals with the help and support of the people of the United States. ASPCA released a very heart breaking commercial persuading the viewers to help these animals. It is very persuasive because they use visual images demonstrating the harsh and cruel environments these animals suffer in, which saddens most people to the point where they want to do something to help these animals. ASPCA is an extremely upsetting commerial because it makes you wonder how somebody could do that to an animal. It is also meant to be upsetting for the viewers. The reason for this is because when people watch something that hurts them in some way, most of the time, the outcome is that the people will want to do something to help. That's what ASPCA is aiming for. They want their viewers to recognize these traumatic lifestyles that the animals are living so that they can do something to help. ASPCA also adds...

...Sample Persuasive Speech Outline Topic: Factory Farming Organizational Pattern: Monroe’s Motivated Sequence Specific Purpose: To persuade the audience that factory farms are dangerous and abusive and therefore need to be banned. Primary Audience Outcome: I the want the audience to join or support national organizations that protest against factory farms. Thesis Statement: The U.S. government should ban factory farms and require the meat industry to raise animals in their natural environments. Attention: Close your eyes and step into the world of an individual. You are born into a world where nights and days are never constant (attention getter). You are fed three to five times a day, but no one is there to nurture you. Not even the numerous others crammed into your living space. You grow frantic, scared, and sickly. Now open your eyes, to reality. What I have just described is one of America’s worst ghettos. You know this individual who is trapped in this environment. He is your breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is the meat you eat . Today’s farms not only abuse their animals they also produce harmful diseases and environmental hazards that affect each and every one of us, regardless of whether you consume animal products or not.

...“Absolute power… corrupts absolutely” How is this explored in Animal farm and film Antz To a large extent absolute power… corrupts absolutely. Total control perverts governments unequivocally, as the consequences of power versus powerlessness are explored. Composers have used varied literary and film techniques to highlight totalitarianism, the abuse of power and propaganda. Animal Farm and Antz firmly demonstrate this. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. In Animal Farm satire is used to demonstrate the impacts of totalitarianism. The faults of the government system dictating Manor Farm are exposed as being a totalitarian dictatorship; echoing the effects of the 1917 Russian Revolution. Napoleon as well as Snowball compose “The Seven Commandments” for all animals to follow. However power gets to Napoleon and he chases away Snowball to have complete control. His psyche becomes corrupted with the leadership and simultaneously all the pigs, go against “The Seven Commandments”. Biblical allusions of the Commandments are used to emphasise the pig’s outrageous behavior where satire is used to reflect how they obtain absolute power and in becoming corrupted. This pretty much echoes the human condition! Moreover, total control perverts governments unequivocally. This is illustrated via the use of allegory portraying the abuse of power. Animal Farm is an allegory depicting the Russian Revolution in a more childish yet ominous manner. Power was abused during the Russian Revolution...

...power; it is a basic human function that enables us to survive and grow as a whole. Power alone has its own affects, however when paired with knowledge and language it becomes a force to be reckoned with. In the beginning of the novel Animal Farm, by George Orwell, the character Old Major gives a speech which inspires the animal revolution that erects the seven commandments; it foreshadows the downfall of the farm as each commandment is broken and changed one at a time. By examining the characters uses of propaganda, force and vulnerability it will be made clear how the abuse of language is connected to the abuse of power. Propaganda is known as “information, ideas or rumors deliberately...

...Persuasive : We should be doing more to prevent animal cruelty. Everyday, all over the world, animals are mistreated and abused by incompetent, cruel owners; often just to satisfy human pleasures. We are supporting the abuse and ignoring simple rights that they should have. For instance, do you agree that a dog has the right not to have pain inflicted on him or her unnecessarily? Infuriating and heartbreaking: we are still standing by and allowing this to happen. It is even more sickening when we realise that, everyday, ignoring the cat down the street being kicked by its owner or selecting what perfume or make-up to buy in our favourite shop- we may actually be contributing to the abuse of animals. Whether, a neglectful owner or science technician, we must do more to reduce this horrible reality. A huge number of the domestic animals are suffering in terrible conditions. Domestic abuse is prevalent in all areas of society today. Millions of domestic animals never know a caring human touch and live hard lives on the street before dying painful deaths. The three most common pets abused are dogs, cats and horses. To put this into a shocking reality, in the year 2007, the internet source buzzle.com, declared that a dreadful 64.5 percent of dogs were reported with some sort of abuse, 18 percent of cats suffered at the hands of mindless humans and 25 percent of other animal species[->0] were reported to have undergone some sort of cruelty...

...Persuasive Emotional Through Their Eyes No food, no shelter, no attention. This unfortunate situation is the everyday life for thousands of mistreated animals. Since animals do not have a voice of their own, they cannot defend themselves. Animal cruelty is immorally disturbing which is why these poor, innocent creatures deserve more rights. Providing care and protection should an ethical and moral obligation, because as you should see not enough is being done. Animal cruelty is often broken down into two main categories, either active or passive. Passive cruelty, or acts of omission, is animal neglect. Examples are starvation, parasite infestations, dehydration, allowing a collar to grow into an animal’s skin, inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions, and failure to seek veterinary care when medical attention is needed. Active cruelty, or acts of commission, implies malicious intent in which a person has deliberately and intentionally caused harm to an animal. This behavior is often associated with sociopathic behavior and tendencies. Another disturbing behavior is a paraphilia called bestiality, also known as zoophilia. In a simple sense, bestiality involves intercourse with an animal and includes oral genital contact of any kind between humans and animals. Shockingly, this act is legal in several states. The common sexually abused animals are: cats, dogs, sheep, cows, hens, rabbits, goats, ducks, horses, bulls, and fish. All these animals are accessible,...

...Alyssa Stewart Period: 3 AP Land & Comp Every day marine mammals are taken from their homes in the ocean and forced to live in terrible conditions in places using them as an attraction to profit off of. Theme parks across the world force these animals to preform tricks for viewer’s amusement, all while living contained in an area the size of a large bathtub. While many parks provide the jobs that come with the experience to see these animals, the conditions in which these animals are kept is really disturbing. After watching the film Blackfish and seeing how brutally these animals are treated it really changes ones perspective of these “amusement” parks. However some parks do rescue sick and mistreated animals for rehabilitation only to release them once the treatment is finished, but ones like SeaWorld take advantage of these beautiful creatures. In the documentary Blackfish director Gabriela Cowperthwaite does an astounding job of portraying this evidence of the Orca whales being taken and abused within the “care” of SeaWorld. Her purpose for creating this film is to increase awareness of the captivity of the Orca whales and the effect it has on the whales and their trainers, also to inform the audience of how SeaWorld misleads the public about the captivity and care of the whales. Blackfish documents and exposes the treatment of Orca whales and their trainers as well as the secretive SeaWorld Corporation. Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s audience was mainly anyone who...

...Zaireen Rahaman Public Speaking: Persuasive Speech Who in here is a vegetarian? For those who did not put their hands up might want to change their minds in the end on how they feel about eating meat or wearing products made from or tested on animals. Most of us grew up consuming meat, wearing clothing made from animals, and has seen animals at zoos or circuses. Have you ever considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved? Animals raised on modern factory farms and killed in slaughtered houses endure unimaginable suffering. I hope once you listen to what I have to say about the routine cruelty involved in raising, transporting, and killing animal for food you’ll join the millions of people to leave meat of their plate and prohibit the cruelty of animals. If slaughter houses had glass walls everyone would be vegetarian. In modern factory farms, animals are jam-packed by the thousands into grimy, enclosed sheds and restricted to wire cages, dirt lots, and other brutal confinement systems. These animals would never have the opportunity to raise their families, or do anything that is of their natural instincts. The majority would not even feel the sun’s rays or breathe fresh air until they are hoarded away on to trucks; headed for slaughtering. ‘Old Mc Donald had a farm’ is not as it once was. If slaughter houses had glass walls everyone would be vegetarian. Chickens have the ability to reason in some instances that are greater than dogs and children yet they are...

...The Roman games and the value of life. The Roman games, or ludi, were held for the entertainment of the Roman people and played a significant role in ancient Roman culture. In the amphitheater, gladiators battled against wild beasts or engaged in combat with other gladiators. Such events were used to “elevate status” and to create “interaction between the ruler and the ruled”, highlighting the importance the Romans placed on rank and hierarchy. The ludi represented Rome’s dominance over its enemies but at what cost? It celebrated the fearlessness and power of the warriors and the state but also revealed their viciousness and disregard for the living. The act of killing, the crowd’s behavior, and even the arena itself all demonstrate how the Roman games devalue life, which is what this essay will explore. Human beings have an unusual fascination with violence but the idea of watching people die for sport is still shocking. The practice of watching deaths actually originates from the Christian ‘good death’, wherein friends and family gather to witness a loved one’s departure to a better place. “Death by public execution was an echo, even a mirror, of the Christian ‘good death’” in that it was a public event and was presided over by clergymen. However, the religious and solemn atmosphere cannot be found in a Roman arena. Le Bon suggests that in a crowd “a man descends several rungs in the ladder of civilization. Isolated, he may be a cultivated individual; in a crowd, he is...

...population. The satire is set in Ireland and was aimed at Catholics, who were known for having a lot of kids and being too poor to care for them. Throughout his persuasive/argumentative satire he utilizes logic and reason, emotion, and character to argue why his proposal is a good solution to the excess population and to persuade others to follow his idea. One of the types of arguments Swift employs throughout his essay is logos. Logos are arguments that are based on fact and reason. In the beginning of his literary work Swift begins discussing how many children are born every year to poverty stricken parents. He uses specific numbers such as “. . . . One-hundred and twenty thousand children of the poor are born annually” to bring to light how much the population and hunger problems will continue to grow. Swift is using logos (logic and reason) when he uses statistics of children born to parents who cannot afford to care for them. He also uses logos to dehumanize the infants by comparing them to food already eaten. When Swift compares the children to roasting pigs he is using an analogy. Another logical analogy Swift uses is comparing the breeders to livestock. Due to the fact that a husband’s breeder will be pregnant, he will become “as fond of her as they are now of mares in foal” (a young horse or related animal). This is a logical argument because if men did beat their wives during pregnancy they would be negatively affecting their revenue stream. Swift also uses cultural...

...towards those unfit to strive in normal society. Her advocacy that the mentally insane could be ‘cured’ is evident throughout her long process of trying towards considerate ways of handling this type of person. Dix argued that the “willful abuse [of the mentally insane was] less frequent than sufferings proceeding from ignorance” (Dix). She proclaimed that the majority of the cause of mistreatment stirred from ignorance, or lack of knowledge, rather than purposeful wrongdoings. Dix, continually advocated for the help of the mentally insane. She alluded that should education of how to a perform their job accurately, the misconduct by the caretakers would either not occur or become very infrequent. She claimed that with more knowledge of care they had, the relationships between patients and their caretakers would be healthier. Dorothea Dix additionally believed that in addition to ignorance, the root cause of the treatment of the mentally insane came from “defective legislation” (Dix). “I repeat it, it is defective legislation which perpetuates and multiplies these abuses” (Dix). Her goal and purpose were to change the contemporary view of the “lunatics,” and assure that they were being treated as human beings, opposed to animals. She claimed that if the laws were changed, and no longer were defective or absent, it would provide fair treatment for these people. The laws, she advocated, were the direct source of providing these people with the lifestyle they needed to...

...An increasing number of educators have begun to discuss how leadership evolves to match this quickly changing world. Usually people believe good leaders should have outstanding charisma and skills in order to lead successfully. This essay, however, will examine the servant style of leaderships which, rather than relying upon command and control, is structured from the bottom-up. That is, servant leaders approach the organizational goals by establishing the organization’s norms to help people who is in need.(Tiaki, 2014). Servant leadership is of 3 core elements: listening, conceptualization and stewardship. This essay will discuss these three elements and demonstrate how they work in action by examining the life and exploits of Martin Luther King. When discussing about the servant leaders, the ability of listening can be emphasized at the very beginning. That is more than just listening. This is where making conscious efforts to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, more importantly, try to understand the complete message being sent. According to Nichols(2009),good listeners try to understand and realize what speakers say to them and no judgment will be delivered. So good listeners not only make speakers perceive that what they are talking about is interesting to the listeners but also to get information, understand and learn at the same time. For examples, If students can pay more attention and patience to listen to what teachers say in the lectures obviously...
