    Lae Task1

    First, I must give credit to my dear and elderly grandmother-in-law and her low tolerance to a single glass of wine for my introduction to Jane. During a holiday dinner in 2002, I learned that my newly wedded husband was the father of a boy placed for adoption at birth. Following what I consider a justified emotional outburst to that enlightening news, I became determined to locate this child and his adoptive family. I was about to give birth to my own child, a boy, and now overwhelmed with the idea of robbing my flesh and blood of the opportunity to know the existence of his biological brother. Luckily, there was enough wine left over that evening to offer Grandma her second glass at which time she easily revealed that the mother of my child’s sibling was Jane.…

    Ama Jane Goodall Analysis

    Imagine a whole empire being brought down with the help of a devastating plague, killing millions of people. This happened to the Roman Empire; the epidemic claimed the lives of around seven million people. Yet, this seemingly deadly virus is what we call Smallpox. Smallpox has been eradicated from the Earth, only due to the use of cows in its research. In her essay, Jane Goodall argues that the use of animals (mainly gorillas) is inhumane, while the AMA believes that the use of animals in medical research is necessary and unavoidable.

    Is Jane Goodall A Hero

    Jane Goodall is a Animal Primatologist in her early 80's. She has had some bad things said, like the fact that she started off with no degree, but she still made many new discoveries that no other primatologist were able to make with a degree. The two main points people have made about Jane were when she was on a trip when some students were kidnapped during work. People started to say that maybe she knew about what people were planning with the kidnapping (www.nytimes.com). But after awhile everything was cleared up. The only other thing that people say about her is in her book, Seeds of Hope. She didn't give full credit to some websites that she used to do more research on articles, to learn more about them. She also didn't give exact full credit to another primatologist who worked on a project with her. In the end, both of them talked about it and decided that the credit that was given was enough (www.washingtonpost). In the ende end, Jane Goodall is a hero because of all the extraordinary things that she dAfter everything that verything thhas done, sheat Jane Goodallhas done, she is a hero because she has helped animals and people for about the past 50 years of her life. She has donated thousands of dollars to help animal welfare, to build homes and many other things. Even though when she started her research, she didn’t have any sort of college degree, she worked beyond hard to prove everyone wrong that a young, uneducated female could do more than a educated…

    Shirley Chisholm And Women's Rights

    Shirley Chisholm was born in Brooklyn, New York city. When Shirley was older she became the first African American to run for president. Yep that’s right Hilary Clinton was not the first to run for the president. It was in 1972 when she had run against George McGovern and Hubert Humphrey. Even though she knew she had no true shot at winning at the time, Chisholm admitted that her campaign was more about Black women than anything. It was a lot to prove that Americans could and would vote for a Black woman. Shirley was also an expert on early childhood education. She worked as a consultant to the New York City bureau of child welfare before serving in the state assembly. She was also nominated to be U.S ambassador but she had to withdrawal because…

    Tom Regan Animal Rights Summary

    Determining the rights of non-human animals and deciding how to treat them may not be a choice available to our human society. As an advocate for the rights of animals, Tom Reganʻs three main goals are to abandon the use of animals in any scientific research, discontinue all commercial animal agriculture, and to completely terminate both commercial and sport animal hunting. To support these intentions, Regan argues that every human and non-human animal possesses inherent value, which makes them all more than a physical object or vessel. He then states that possessing inherent value allows every human and non-human to have rights of their own. To further his argument, Regan claims that the any human and non-human retaining rights requires equal treatment and respect from others. To conclude his argument, Regan states that due to these reasons, non-human animals cannot be treated as resources and must be treated by humans as equals. In this paper, I object to Reganʻs third premise, which states that non-human and human animals must be treated as equals and with respect, because our communication barrier with non-human animals restricts us from determining their notion of equal treatment or respect, and that attempting to do so could…

He came with me to most places, especially for comfort when I would get shots. He would sleep with me like an animal, which was something that I loved.
