Don’t Feed the Bears

Is our government really helping people, or just feeding bears? This is an excellent question that went well with this paper. This question also goes right along with our country’s economic state, which is what this writer, Timothy Burns, is writing on. In his paper he starts off with a story about his life and he uses an example of feeding bears to connect to what our government is doing in our economy. Even though Timothy starts with a story of his life he still has the four points to justifying and evaluating a paper: a well-presented subject, a well-supported judgment, an effective counterargument and a readable plan.
Timothy presents his subject in the form of an example. He writes about how feeding bears in and of itself is dangerous. He gives good examples of how feeding the bears create a safety problem for future campers and health issues for the bears. It is not good to feed the bears because once they become accustom to human food they abandon foraging for nuts, berries, and honey in the wild. As he finishes with the bears as his subject he brings his subject to relate with our economy to day and different social programs to help those who are in need. Timothy did an excellent job of writing out his subject and using examples to transition and compare to the subject; it was well-presented. Just as he used an example to compare and transition to his subject he also uses an example to compare and transition to his well-supported judgment.
His judgment is, “Why would any animal work hard to scavenge food when a bear can rip the lid from a trash can and enjoy a gourmet human meal?” This is exactly true why would that bear want to do more work than what is required for him to be able to eat. After he states his example with the bears he moves his well-supported judgment to how it relates to our government and economy. “It may seem compassionate, and even Christ-like to provide food, housing, medical care, discounts on mortgages, loan

    The absurdity of certain arguments, for me, makes it difficult to fairly analyze a piece of work. It is my lack of patience for supreme stupidity that disables me from comparing two certain articles on the topic of “Wilderness”. When asked to read, summarize, and then write about the differing opinions between Wallace Stegner’s “Wilderness Letter” (1960) and William Cronan’s “The Trouble with Wilderness” (1996), I approached reading them not expecting too much of a difference or surprise. I actually expected the latter article to be more astute being that it was written 36 years more recently. Upon completing the philosophical, brief, and rather vague article by Wallace Stegner, I looked forward to reading the next article to see if my assignment was worth my time. The incoherent, unfounded ramblings of William Cronan baffled me so much that I never re-read the first article, opting instead to read and research his arrogant nonsense many times over. I have been instructed to represent the ideas of each author fairly; but fairness is a term subject to interpretation, and I believe it is only fair (or rather my duty) as a critic to…

    There are 3 energy systems the body uses to create ATP. They are the ATP-PC system, the lactic acid system and the Aerobic energy system. Both the ATP-PC and lactic acid systems are anaerobic and therefore do not use oxygen, and the aerobic system does use oxygen. When we begin to exercise the first system we would use to create ATP is the ATP-PC system. This system acts by creating ATP from phosphocreatine, making use specificially of the phosphate molecule.…

    Because of the lion’s dangerous actions, the villagers had to alter their society and be scared of the “beast”. The cause and effect makes the lion appear to be a figure of terror; not an affectionate creature. Next, Goodwell Nzou supports his second claim by asserting that Americans are hypocritical because they are doing things that are similar to trophy hunting in their own country. He uses an anaphora to appeal to logos when stating, “Don’t tell us what to do with out animals when you allowed your own mountain lions to be hunted to near extinction in the eastern United States. Don’t bemoan the clear-cutting of our forests when you turned yours into concrete jungles” (Nzou). For this claim, the author uses the anaphora to repeat “don’t” to emphasize the fact that Americans should not be criticizing Africans for the killing of Cecil when they do just as much harm to their own country. The readers can clearly see what the Americans are doing to their societies, and begin to wonder if they support the ban for trophy…

    The combination of vague or blatantly wrong statistics and the unwillingness to support their own opinion about inhumane slaughter leaves the reader disappointed. What seemed to be an interesting and powerful paper judging from the imagery in the first few sentences quickly became lackluster to say the least. The paper is therefore ineffective overall because it lacks the power to fully persuade and immerse the reader. The author would have been better off had they argued to end seal hunting altogether, or had their numeric evidence been more thoroughly…

    This quote helps you figure out why the animal population goes up and down. For example, one author saw the point of species that were not hunted, were worse on their own.

    Charles G.D Roberts is known for his 250 odd realistic animal stories published in the contemporary period. These so called realistic animal stories may be thought of as a response to Darwin’s exploration of the connections between man and animal; it is around this time when the “Origin of Species” broke down the barriers between the two. “Do Seek Their Meat from God”, one of Roberts’ animal stories, is no different in its ability to force a comparison between man and beast. With that said, in an essay concerning “Do Seek Their Meat from God” Seifert explains that “Roberts opens the story with a seemingly traditional nineteenth century landscape description… The wilderness is not depicted for its own sake…but directly bears on the theme, plot,…

    He states that non-human animals are farmed for food, experimented on, and we as humans fail to acknowledge the suffering that these animals go through, because we are too caught up in our own ‘selfish’ behavior. Overall, his main point is that from a moral standpoint, humans should reconsider our modern practices, and give all sentient non-human animals equal consideration. He suggests that we all adopt vegetarian diets, and only conduct experiments on non-human animals when it would do less harm than good. (205)…
