Recommended: Short debate on animal rights

Heller writes about two questions: when do animals seem to have rights and, if we admit such rights, might new technologies--namely, robots--be accorded rights as well. Heller uses the infamous example of Harambe, the Cincinnati Zoo’s gorilla that (who?) made headlines for his actions involving a boy who fell into the enclosed gorilla pit. Following his death, Harambe gained popularity and the fight for animals rights took on new life. When introducing the idea of technology possessing the same rights, ethicists must explore the issue of intent from both animals and technology to humans.
Throughout time, various groups of people have been assigned places in the world. Examples of a culturally designated, inferior status includes the place

Jonathan Kozol revealed the early period’s situation of education in American schools in his article Savage Inequalities. It seems like during that period, the inequality existed everywhere and no one had the ability to change it; however, Kozol tried his best to turn around this situation and keep track of all he saw. In the article, he used rhetorical strategies effectively to describe what he saw in that situation, such as pathos, logos and ethos.

Pollan’s article provides a solid base to the conversation, defining what to do in order to eat healthy. Holding this concept of eating healthy, Joe Pinsker in “Why So Many Rich Kids Come to Enjoy the Taste of Healthier Foods” enters into the conversation and questions the connection of difference in families’ income and how healthy children eat (129-132). He argues that how much families earn largely affect how healthy children eat — income is one of the most important factors preventing people from eating healthy (129-132). In his article, Pinsker utilizes a study done by Caitlin Daniel to illustrate that level of income does affect children’s diet (130). In Daniel’s research, among 75 Boston-area parents, those rich families value children’s healthy diet more than food wasted when children refused to accept those healthier but

The 1970s was a rough time for America. America suffered from a lost in the Vietnam War early on, had to deal with the Watergate scandal in 1972 and was having problems with foreign power controlling oil when President Jimmy Carter made his speech, A Crisis of Confidence, to millions of Americans in 1979 in hopes of inspiring them to conserve energy and to raise morale during these difficult times.

Being someone who did not people could get married through skype, I thought this article was very interesting to read. For me, I considered this an informative essay because it talks a lot about what skype weddings can lead to and the process on how to do it. When I first read the title of the article “Revealed: How immigrants are gaining U.S. citizenship by getting married on Skype - to people thousands of miles away” I thought that maybe there wasn’t a process through the government and all you needed was a spouse and a priest. According to the article though to become an American citizen you must first be interviewed by Homeland Security or State Department officials, so they can check for fraud or human trafficking. At that point, I started

To silence the hate does not make it go away it causes it fester in the shadows. In Ma’s recent work she places the opinion of critical theorist “like Lawrence have long argued from perspective victims. How can we diagnose the disease and prescribe a cure without listing to the patient? (Ma 702). The critical theorist such as Lawrence think that hate must be heard and then addressed. This listening Lawrence puts forward allows for the pulse of racism in America opposing views must be heard no matter how horrible their thoughts are. A result of opening up the speech is that it is these men will find a way to be heard. Men such as Milo know how to get attention this is because he is “A self-described troll, Yiannopoulos has drawn criticism

Animal Rights: The Abolitionist Approach?
1030 Words | 3 Pages
Almost all humans want to have possession and control over their own life, they want the ability to live independently without being considered someone’s property. Many people argue that animals should live in the same way as humans because animals don’t have possession of their lives as they are considered the property of humans. An article that argues for animal rights is “The case against pets” (2016) by Francione and Charlton. Gary L Francione and Anna E Charlton are married and wrote a book together, “Animal Rights: The Abolitionist Approach (2015). Francione is a law professor at Rutgers University and an honorary professor at University of East Anglia. Charlton is also a law professor at Rutgers University and she is the co-founder of the Rutgers Animal Rights Law Clinic. In this article Francione and Charlton mainly focus on persuading people to believe in animal rights but only focus on one right, the right of animals not to be property. The article is written in a well-supported manner with a lot of details and examples backing it up, but a few counter-arguments can be made against some of their arguments.

Difficulties Of Reality
950 Words | 2 Pages
In her essay, “The Difficulty of Reality and the Difficulty of Philosophy,” the American philosopher Cora Diamond discusses animal rights and our obligations as human beings to nonhuman animals. Diamond has a fascinating philosophical take on the matter of animal rights. She is concerned with reminding people that they are animals. They are just another species among a plenty of others. Diamond uses the idea of the existential other to remind us of our animality, because it is in our shared mortality that humans and animals are alike. Furthermore, our morality is simply a human construction that allows us to talk about others from a distance as Diamond calls it the “language-game” (Diamond, 45). In essence, we view ourselves as different, separate or better than those animals because of the separation that we emphasize between mind and body, forgetting that we are animal as well. By placing the animal in a position of equality which is the place of the other, we should find compassion and sympathy for it.

Analysis Of Tom Regan's Animal Rights Human Wrongs
1052 Words | 3 Pages
In Tom Regan’s article “Animal Rights, Human Wrongs,” he explores three different philosophical “accounts” and talks about their view and stances on animal rights and the treatment of animals. The first account that Regan looks at is the Kantian account, which is that humans have obligations to treat animals right only because if humans treated animals poorly it would lead to humans treating one another poorly. Regan says this account to be amiss because it makes us assume that animal interests do not matter and that we are not concerned with the poor treatment of the animal, yet instead we are concerned with the effect the action will have on humans in the future. The second account that Regan analyzes is the cruelty account, which revolves

Should Animals Have Rights?
996 Words | 2 Pages
To conclude this paper then, after reviewing the reasons for being opposed to assigning rights to non-human animals I am still faithfully for the idea. There is no justification for the barbaric and insensitive ways to which we have been treating the non-human animals with over the decades. As I stated before, they are living creatures just as we are, they have families, emotions and struggles of their own without the ones we inflict on them. So then where does this leave us? Of course it is a complicated mater, but none the less non-human animals should be protected with rights against them being used as machines, for food, for their skins, their wool, and all cases in which they are being abused.
