A cause Rome fell was due to the invasions of intimidating, yet powerful enemies like the Huns. In Document D, Marcellinus describes how the Huns were fierce, wild beings that were expert horse riders. [Document D] The Huns were “fierce warriors” from Central Asia.[Textbook pg.33] The Huns were the definition of “savagery”.[Document…
Foreign invasions had a humongous role in the downfall of Rome. It says that the Huns did not look like a human. Marcellinus said that the Huns had thick necks and compact and sturdy limbs. The Huns also slaughtered everyone and pillaged everything in their way (Document D). The invaders had been able to break into Rome because the emperors allowed the military to stop drills and not wear armor. The invasions had been all the emperors and militaries fault. It was also the Emperors fault because the were the ones who had agreed when the army asked to stop drills and not wear armor. (Document B). Priscus, the roman ambassador to the Huns, found that the former Roman citizens liked their new life. They thought it was more just than Rome and they…
After reading “A Change of Heart about Animals”, Jeremy Rifkins argues that animals should be treated in a more humane way. I agree with Rifkins argument because I have seen animals get abuse and it should not be like that. People may say that they do not feel anything but THEY DO! It’s similar to when a humane it getting abused. Many researchers are finding that the animals are similar to us in many ways: they feel pain, suffer, and experience stress, affection, excitement, and even love. Rifkins give scientific evidence to support his argument from credible source and make his stronger.…
ear Editor, In “A Change of Heart about Animals” by Jeremy Rifkin, he says that “Animals are more like us than we could imagine” and I think I’m kind of on this middle plane where I can see both sides of the argument. Cause while I do realize that animals are living things and how they have all the components of one, I still believe it is ok to farm and use them for our needs. I say that in a good and humane way, as to make sure the animals are brought up in the right way. Now to get this out the way I am no way a vegan.…

Rifkin proves this by giving scientific experiment results to show that animals can live like humans. The experiments focus on animal emotions, abilities to use tools or learn, and living habits.…

“100 Million animals are killed in U.S laboratories for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity driven experimentation, chemical, drug, food and cosmetic testing.” -peta.org. The Rifkin article discusses about the pain animals feel. According to Rifkin Animals feel the pain as if they were a human bean. Innocent animals are being killed each day just for the fun of it or for some kind product testing. He believes we ought to change the way we treat animals. The way we treat the animals has to be changed.…
Can animals really think? Can they make decisions based on information? For years, scientists have debated these questions. Now many of them believe that some animals have the brain power to understand new situations, make decisions, and plan ahead. many animals adapt their behavior to the challenges they face either under natural conditions or in laboratory experiments. For example, on other parts of Africa chimpanzees select suitable branches from which they break ofg twigs to produce a slender probe, which they carry some distance to poke it into a termite nest and eat the termites clinging to it as it is withdrawn. Apes have also learned to use artificial communication systems to ask for objects and activities they want and to answer simple…
Justin Le Ms. Jackson ERWC English 28 October 2014 Animal Bill of Rights Despite our genetic makeup and ability, each living organism still obtains the ability to partake in the vast contribution towards this world. We as humans should be proactive in our role of establishing and maintaining a fine balance of life. A prominent responsibility we possess is to regard all living beings as equals.…
Humans are animals, but they are very different than any other animals. Many things can prove us that humans are one of a kind, like their intelligence for example. Even though humans and animals have many activities in common (sleeping, eating, mating, and defending), human beings have a fifth faculty: the intelligence to inquire into the truth of our existence (Butler and Guru). The following text will explain why human beings should be considered unique and why they should be in a different category from all the other non-human animals.…
In the article “ A change of Heart about Animals” by Rifkin, he states “ They feel pain, suffer, and experiences stress, affection, excitement and even love--and these findings are changing how we view animals.” These characteristics are just like any human being they feel pain just as we feel pain, they suffer just like we do too therefore i agree that they should have the same rights as us humans. Although many other people might say they're just animals but they realize they are species just like us humans.…
Visualize having someone mistreat you because they don’t feel the pain they’re making you go through. As humans we are capable of letting others know when we are in pain and we are also capable of standing up for ourselves. Animals aren’t able to do that so they are treated unfairly, like if they didn’t feel any pain at all. Although many believe that animals shouldn’t be treated like humans, my goal is to convince my classmates that we should improve the way we treat animals.…
All human are almost the same, they are curious hence there is always questionnaire behind every issue. These question are those that stresses our mind to think out of the box, something that does not have a true or false answer as we can always find advantages and disadvantages for every issue. This is the odd thinking we human name it as “critical thinking”. There is always a hold back when we ask a question. What can we question? How much can we question?…
Bekoff also writes: "Yes, we do have ample detailed scientific facts to declare that nonhuman animals are sentient beings and there are fewer and fewer skeptics." Suggests that animals can feel and think, and they have the evidence need it to prove it. Bekoff also point that animal skeptics are less and less as time…
“Behavior that causes pain or suffering to a person or animal” is defined as cruelty. Some people might think that animal cruelty consists only of people actively being unkind to animals. That is not completely true. In fact, there are many forms of animal cruelty, not all of which are widely known, including animal neglect, animal slaughtering, animal breeding, farm practices, experimentation, hoarding, and use of animals for entertainment. While some organizations exist to help prevent animal cruelty, the lack of awareness surrounding animal cruelty issues has allowed many forms of animal cruelty to continue unregulated, and something needs to be done to stop this.…
