factories biologically modify cows to produce milk faster. The milk factories genetically modify and dose cows with special hormones, which speeds up milk production ten times faster than natural rate, then the cows are hooked up to milking machine all day long. It seemed very cruel. But from a different perspective, human preying on weaker species may be natural thing to do, just as how tigers would prey on jackals. It is essential for our survival. As much as it's unfair to hurt animals, some sacrifices

Another question I had was the idea of the history of animal domestication. I found a good website to help me answer this question. The website is called jyi.org and the article I read was “Our Furry Friends: The History of Animal Domestication” written by Jessica Lear. This website discusses the domestication of all animals from dogs and cats to elephants and zebras. Animals play a big part in human society. Especially farm animals, who provide us with food and produce. The first farm animals to

agree that certain delinquents need a wake- up call, however solitary confinement is definitely not the answer because it is inhumane. Solitary confinement is literally locking up an individual in a cage, which is wrong enough when done to animals in a zoo, let alone human beings. It is physically inhumane and not a stable living condition for anyone to be in, no matter the age or health of a person. Not only is it physically inhumane, but solitary confinement is also mentally

whatever it is that they need to believe, as long as they don’t harm anyone and are not forceful towards others with their beliefs. In the quote I chose from part one of Life of Pi, Pi talks about the lack of freedoms religion seems to have: “I know zoos are no longer in people's good graces. Religion faces the same problem. Certain illusions about freedom plague them both.” (Martel 14). I’ve always seen religion exactly like that, freedomless and restricting of its believers. I came to this by observing

for work details.” “This time is tough, how do you keep yourself going after the loss of your uncle Moshe and moving to your third concentration camp?” “I had ended up at a camp call Birkenau Concentration Camp. We were all crammed in a train for days. They SS officers, would torment us, and throw bread into the train to watch prisoners fight for it. I was so busy trying to keep my life, that I didn’t have time to pay attention to how miserable I was.”

Morality Essay Is morality a biological or social construct? The term morality, according to Eysenck(2009) can be described by Shaffer (1993) as: "A set of principles or ideals, that help the individual to distinguish right from wrong and to act on this distinction.” Morality is important to society as it would not function effectively, unless there was some kind of agreement on what is right and wrong. There seems to be a universal human acceptance on what right or wrong should be

thermoregulation as well as for the evolution of epidermal structures, have not yet been noted. Since early epidermal structures are poorly preserved in the fossil record, we study modern elephants to infer not only the heat transfer effect of present-day sparse hair, but also its potential evolutionary origins. Here we use a combination of theoretical and empirical approaches, and a range of hair densities determined from photographs, to test whether sparse hairs increase convective heat loss from elephant
