Speciesism In this essay I will try to clarify Singers essential argument and defend it against some common objections. According to Singer‚ Speciesism is a position similar to racism and sexism. Just as race discriminates against other race‚ and sexism against the opposite sex‚ speciesism discriminates against non-human species.

Curtis’s clearly illustrates the premises of his conclusion. His argument is valid‚ relevant‚ and strong for several reasons. First‚ Curtis’ argument in (3) that cats are low maintenance is true. He illustrates that two critical premises showing cats are more independent than dogs. His first premise of no sub-zero walks at 6 a.m. is unfair because not all dogs have to walk outside at 6 a.m.‚ but dogs require walks for exercises and engage their environment.

Several people believe that kids who are not vaccinated impose health threats on kids who have been vaccinated. This belief is flawed because the kids with the vaccines are the ones who are bringing the viruses into our schools. The vaccines carry the very virus that they are supposed to protect kids from.

131‚000 married same-sex couples and 514‚000 unmarried same-sex couples. Whether pastors also wish to take the legal position that America’s marriage laws should codify the Christian theology of marriage is another question. I have my own misgivings on that point.
