...Wonder what a pet in your class would be like for you and the animal. Well maybe it’s for the best that pets shouldn’t be allowed in schools. For one younger or less developed children may not know how to treat a animal and its needs. This and many other things could end in bad health for the animals. This could even KILL the animal. So do the animal good and don’t allow animals in the classroom. Pets shouldn’t be allowed in schools because children may not know how to take care of them.Because of this more work can unfold on the teacher which can turn into stress on the teacher. In the article “ pets enhance learning” an article for allowing pets in schools summarizes that children got to a pet for emotional comfort. So what if the pet...

Make sure you read the information provided within the module and do necessary research…it’s easy for me to see if you’re budget is realistic or not! Just b/c you’re only writing about three items under each category, you should certainly factor in the cost of other items within that category when calculating your estimated yearly costs. Simply provide a nice, round figure under “Estimated Yearly Cost” for each category.

They will also donate time and money to several local environmental agencies in the Branson area.

...the big names in art and music of their time, people still had a passion for the arts and had opportunities to experience them at smaller, less known, places. As society has progressed over the years, art slowly has become more and more accessible to the people- as it should be. In fact, I believe that without an audience, art cannot be truly considered art. “Art is a social label, a negotiation between the artist, object (or performance), and the viewer” (Best). Art should be made for the people and not be limited to certain audiences. An artist should create with the goal of connecting to as many people as possible through their work. As stated earlier, historically, art has been seen as something only the privileged could truly appreciate. This could not be farther from the truth! Art is something that everyone can enjoy, experience, and strive to understand. Art should not discriminate or exclude a certain audience, it should bring together all people to evoke a response, send a message, or to maybe just enjoy looking at. During class, we were given a presentation that featured an artist name Cindy Sherman. Sherman had a quote that exemplifies what and who art should really be made for. “When I was in school I was getting disgusted with the attitude of art being so religious or sacred, so I wanted to make something which people could relate to without having read a book about it first. So that anybody off the street could appreciate...

...Life on the Farm…It’s NOT as we Know it. Close your eyes for a moment, and imagine someone taking your family pet and shooting a bolt into her skull. Now further envision that this shot didn’t entirely incapacitate your beloved family member, but instead just made her woozy. While she attempts to regain clarity, her hind leg is shackled and she’s hoisted into the air upside-down. She’s scared and confused, and while panic and adrenaline course through her body, she thrashes violently to escape this horrific nightmare. Gradually she fights less, and as her strength and will to live subside, her throat is ‘mercifully’ cut. As her eyes dim, and the pool of blood spreads beneath her, the one question that echoes the strongest is simply…”Why?” As horrific a picture as the above might paint, such a scenario cruelly plays out in slaughterhouses around the world. Instances of animal cruelty and inhumane treatment are commonplace, yet society for the most part has turned a blind-eye to these misdeeds. Seemingly a dichotomy exists, whereby livestock and animals raised for human consumption (Hereinafter “food animals”) are allowed to be treated in ways that would be unthinkable for family pets and other creatures. By examining the morality and misconceptions behind this mindset, the financial realities of the industry, and the inherent health concerns associated with these activities, it will become evident that food animals clearly deserve to be treated more humanely. As hopefully...

...There are three of the popular toys in the 1990s, which are Tamagotchi, Barbie, and Lego. The first digital toy is the Tamagotchi Tamagotchi means a handheld digital device, which can be cared for as a digital pet including feeding, playing, and cleaning up after it. For example, the first Tamagotchi was created in Japan by Bandai in 1996. It went on to sell 76,000,000 units worldwide by 2010 (“Tamagotchi,” 2015). It was quite cheap with the price depending on the different versions available, in total there were 11 different variations, with prices ranging from $10 for the cheapest and up to $70 for the most expensive (“Tamagotchi Price,” 2015). The device was aimed at young children around the age of 6. It was aimed to promote nurturing instincts as the children would actually care for the digital pet, and if they failed at this the digital per would die (Baguley, 2013). Moreover, as there were strict laws governing ownership of pets in some countries, the Tamagotchi was an excellent solution for families unable to buy real pets for their children. This is why the device sold so many units. Some of the devices had communication abilities, which allowed children not only to play but also linguistically interact with the toys. This was seen as an educational component to the toy. As the toy was completely non-violent it became a popular choice for parents as a suitable toy for their children’s development. In summary, the Tamagotchi is the first digital toy. The second popular...

...Abstract Corporations and research laboratories have conducted many harmful acts on animals. Some animal rights groups have fought to stop these parties they include the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the Animal Liberation Front, PAWS, and the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Suffering and Exploitation and Trans-Species Unlimited. There are various different tactics used by these animal rights groups. They range from raising awareness, to lobbying to public demonstrations, against institutions which have taken advantage of helpless animals. Public demonstrations were the most effective. 1 Hurt Fido and Suffer the Consequences: Tactics and Impacts of the Animal Rights Movement “I care not much for a man’s religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it”- said Abraham Lincoln. Animals are abused around the world, in circuses they are used in tricks. The American Museum of Natural History inflicted male cat’s brains with lesions to give the cat sexual urges for other species. The best known animal rights movement in the world is, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) which was founded in March, 1980, in Norfolk, Virginia by Ingrid Newirk and Alex Pacheco. The Animal Liberation Front, founded in 1976, by Ronnie Lee, has received the reputation of being the most violent organization when saving animal, along with, Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) and the Trans-Species Unlimited (TSU) the...

Remember, the main point is what you should concentrate on. Stick to the question key words throughout your essay.

...Euthanasia You have a pet dog that you love very much, but he’s sick. Really sick. In fact, he’s suffering on a constant basis. What do you do? Any ethical person would end the dog’s suffering by taking him to the vet and humanely ending his life. However, that same person would be forced to stand by and watch their spouse, parent, or even their child suffer unimaginable pain. The question is, why does our humanity have to go out the window when dealing with human pain and suffering? Modern government intrudes on our lives in such a constant and consistent manner that it even denies us the intensely personal choice of death when faced with a complete loss of quality of life. The reasons behind this horrible reality are centered mostly around the fact that religious beliefs affect social policy in our country to a significant degree. The idea of separation of Church and State seems to have broken down over the years. Politicians even use their religion as a reason why people should vote for them, when it shouldn’t even be allowed to be a factor in an election. In fact, for a candidate to state that he’s for mercy killing guarantees that he’ll be attacked politically by religious right-to-life groups that suggest he’s immoral and unfeeling, when the exact opposite is probably true. However, like abortion, the debate over assisted suicide is an emotionally charged one. It is nearly impossible to discuss causing death of any kind under any circumstances without...

...doubted that he would come to me if I called him, but I decided to give it a try anyway, and to my surprise he came! This was the beginning of a three month relationship. I started calling him Marvin since he reminded me so much of the cat I had when I was young. For the three months I spent about 30 minutes a day with Marvin. He would usually show up right around dinner time. He always knew where he could find me, and when he did, he would come over and jump into my lap and lay down. He would sit with me for a while and I would pet him and talk to him about my day. Some of the people I worked with would come by and tell me that I was crazy for touching a stray cat in the middle of Iraq. “He might have a disease,” they would say. I didn’t care what they said, Marvin was important to me. There I was in the middle of the desert in Iraq, half a world away from my family and everything familiar to me. For half an hour a day, sometimes more, that little cat allowed me to forget where I was for a while. There...
