The Positive Opinions Of Jane Goodall
Opinions

The work of Jane Goodall has been recognized by many people around the world. Her contributions have been significant in our world today. Although most comments and opinions of her work have been positive, there are also people who oppose what she has done as well. She has studied chimpanzees and their behavior since she was of a young age, giving plenty of time for opinions to form regarding her as a person and her work as well. The positive opinions of Jane Goodall outweigh all the bad ones. Based upon interviews of my colleagues, the comments were all of the positive nature. They believe that Goodall has definitely made a difference in our world. She has helped us discover the theory of evolution and how this could

    On February sixth, 1951 Henrietta Lacks, a black tobacco farmer from south Virginia, went to Johns Hopkins hospital to be treated for cervical cancer, she was treated by Dr. Lawrence Wharton Jr. He prepared her for her treatment and dilated her cervix, but before beginning the treatment he, without her permission, shaved two dime sized pieces of tissue one from her tumor and one from her healthy tissue then, he placed them in glass dishes. Those glass dishes were given to Dr. George Gey and his assistant, Mary Kubick, labeled them HeLa, because she combined the first two letters of Henrietta's first and last name.

This new discovery lead people to feel compassion and concern for the animals. Leakey’s once said “new we must redefine tool, redefine man, or consider chimpanzees as humans”. We now see that we are not alone with being advanced that there are other non-human primates that also are advancing.…

    Much thanks to Jeremy Rifkin for showing us that science supports what we pet owners and animal rights activists have known in our hearts all along: animals have feelings and abilities not very different from humans. I found the stories about Koko the gorilla who is fluent in sign language, and Betty and Abel, the tool-making crows, intriguing and heart-warming. When will more people begin to realize that we share this world with many creatures deserving of our care and respect? However, Rifkin should take his argument farther. Animals have a right to live without being confined, exploited, tormented or eaten.…

    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. The AMA is more persuasive, because they state several undeniable reasons for the necessity of animals in research…

    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…

    Cabello is a nurturer and when she’s not alone she teaches the youngest orangutan how to survive. I observed Cabello offer her back up as means of transportain and assist the youngest on swinging and climbing. When the aggressively annoying orangutang came back to fight Cabello always made sure the youngest was out of harms way. While it may be true for other animals as well I think the qualities of humans are more apparent in the actions of a primate. Amid note taking I looked up to see Cabello staring at me with the look of someone deap in thought part of me thought she was a human. The other part of me started to question whether or not I to am the subject of a research assignment. I turned to my phone and found articles upon articles stating the vast cognitive skills of the Orangutans in relation to humans. I can’t help but wonder what Cabello is thinking as she stares at me am I friend of foe, and if the glass was removed who would be the first to go. Since the evidence I revealed proved intelligence but the inability to make connections like humans I think the orangutans are fascinated and unless we do something they find to be threatening we are not harmful to each other.…

    I found my self getting more and more interested and curious as I kept reading about her. She is such a great role model and the amount of strength she had was incredible. This is one of my favorite papers because I was actually interested in writing about my historical figure. I never realized what an important asset she was up until now. I think things now would be different if it wasn't for her. She showed strength and self-drive and never let the law or anyone get in the way of what was right and humane. There's a reason why Obama named her an American…

    I maintain what I said which I totally disagree. There are some people not comfortable with the idea and projects in order to protects animals. In the article “ Of primates and personhood” by Ed Yong talks about some projects about apes basically talks how “ Great Ape Project” was established in 1993 it demands a basic set of moral and legal rights for chimpanzees and apes,gorillas bonobos and orangutans.” Yong state in his article “ i do think we have special obligations to the great apes as our closest relatives, but if we give rights to apes, what would be the compelling reason not to give rights to monkeys ,dogs rats, and so on” imagine give rights to this animals when they are not similar to us do not have…
