The essay “I acknowledge mine by Jane Goodall” uses better persuasion techniques than the piece by American Medical Association. These articles both show great examples of persuasion techniques. The American Medical Association used more logos and Jane Goodall’s piece used more pathos. Their claims represented two sides of a very heated argument over animal rights. The claim in Jane Goodall’s paper is that animals should not be used in human studies more specifically chimpanzees. While the American Medical Association says that all this testing is required for the advancement of medicine. They both choose to support their claims very differently. The American Medical Association (AMA) says many facts and state all the scientific breakthroughs that were achieved through animal testing. Jane Goodall talks about all the pain and the suffering that the animals are going through and relates them to humans. Evidence, Jane Goodall’s play on the reader’s emotions in her evidence is strong. She says, “I watched as monkeys paced around their tiny prisons, making bizarre, abnormal movements” (Goodall 608). She has a way of using our morality of humans so that we can relate to these poor little monkeys. The AMA says “Animal research holds the key to solutions for AIDS, cancer, heart disease, aging and congenital …show more content…
It also says that all these restrictions are just slowing down and discouraging scientific research. Jane Goodall brings up JoJo and the difference between wild chimps and chimpanzees used in scientific study. She states that chimps don’t benefit the study of AIDs because they rarely exhibit symptoms. Jane Goodall says that the chimps are prisoners serving for a crime they didn’t commit. That the animals are so like humans that the need to be with their families in the wild and shouldn’t be treated in a
More than 90 percent in about 1000 scientists around the world, “felt that animal research is essential to scientific advancement” (Yoshida, 2011). One of the reasons that animals are used in labs is because it’s affordable, especially mice, since they are “mammals, […], [they] can be bred in a controlled manner, […], kept in a controlled environment”, and they don’t live long, plus fast reproduction (LifeVantage, 2017). Even though those are for science purposes and to help improve people’s lives and medicine’s quality, no living creature deserves to be locked up and live through pain, and then thrown away like garbage.
Writing Activity 1 The evidence used throughout the piece was average. He is arguing that the animals shouldn’t be researched on. A piece of evidence he did use was how the National Institutes of Health says that chimpanzees are one of the closest human relative, and there are many more animals out there used for research.
Throughout the years the use of animals in medical research has been a hot debate around the world. Although animal testing may be cruel and inhumane, thousands of humans are saved thanks to the research that animals supply researchers with. Animals testing have taken over our knowledge of medicine and treatments to a whole different level. Animal testing also does this in a cheap and effective way. Without animals testing out knowledge wouldn’t be up to date, in other words animals’ testing is good.
Her first book came out in 1971 which was made for entertainment about Chimpanzees, it included social drama, comedy, and tragedy. From 1970-1975, Goodall held a visiting professorship in psychiatry at Stanford University and was appointed honorary visiting professor of Zoology, which she still holds. After a conference in 1986, she focused mainly on ethical treatment of chimpanzees and educating the public about their habitat. She wants to educate people about how scientists use animals for research, she feels that “students are taught that it is ethically acceptable to perpetrate, in the name of science, what, from the point of view of animals, would certainly qualify as torture”.
In the article “Of Primates and Personhood: Will According Rights and “Dignity” to Nonhuman Organisms Halt Research,” Ed Yong helps support his claim whether or not great apes deserve to have certain rights by giving examples of programs involved. He states that the Great Ape Project (GAP) is the main project battling for these rights. There goal is to obtain a basic set of moral and legal rights for chimpanzees, gorillas, bonobos, and orangutans. He also backs up his claim by giving of other countries involved.The United Kingdom and New Zealand are examples of countries who have taken steps to protect great apes from experimentation. He also states reasons others may object to GAP’s project.Primatologist Frans de Waal of Emory said, “I do
Smith, Wesley J. “The Grim Good of Animal Research.” Scientific Research, edited by Sylvia Engdahl, Greenhaven Press, 2015. Opposing Viewpoints.

The fundamental question that defined the content of the article was "What gives us the right to exploit other organisms as we see fit?" (Suzuki, 2008, p.681). Humanity had a long history of using animals in testing due to biological similarities (Suzuki, 2008, p. 680). He put a mirror to people by questioning the ways animals were treated in those scenarios, and if the methods and product were worth the suffering of animals. To do this he looked at examples of scientific studies to alleviate human illness, as well as use of animals for entertainment. By contrasting the harsh realities animals face with the rationalization of their captors, the article underlined not only humanity's unlimited capacity for cruelty but also the factors that allow it to keep on doing the same thing no matter what the truth of the matter is. The article was written for those who those who do not know about the scientific exploitation of animals as well as those who have not in the past seen the idea of captivity and scientific treatment of
The first essential of persuasion involves the structure of the argument being posed by one who is trying to provoke others to action. In order to convince someone of a new argument, idea or moral, one must use the proper methods: logos, ethos and pathos. According to Hauser, “The method
By planting fear onto the animals on the farm using the ferocious guard dogs, Napoleon is able to keep order on the farm. Since no animal wants to be bitten to death from a simple unique expression of idea, they choose to remain silent and listen. This technique is simple. If the animals dare speak against Napoleon’s wishes, they will get sentenced to death. It is effective because it assures that no animal will ever go against his wishes; good or bad, right or wrong.
As we discover treatments for diseases such as rabies, feline leukemia, tetanus, anthrax, and much more, animals also bear the advantage of protection. In fact, humans share hundreds of diseases with animals. We also share similar organs allowing scientists to use animals as an essential model for the study of illnesses. Therefore, the work researchers perform sets a platform for an end result where both parties benefit. It can thus be concluded that those against animal research are covered by a counterintuitive notion because, without animal research, the animals whom they are fighting for would die due to a potentially curable disease. To deal with the ethical dilemma of animal research, countries like the United Kingdom have placed regulations that require the research scientists to show how and if they have considered alternative ways before they are given a license to continue with their research projects. Given these circumstances, we can conclude that the rise in animals used in research must mean that in the near future there may be major medical
Should presidential candidates be redundantly different from each other? As seen in the past, presidential candidates have different resolution plans for issues regarding the nation in every presidential campaign held every four years. Despite the differences candidate’s may reflect, every candidate has to meet the same requirements, they must be a natural born citizen of the United States, a resident for 14 years, and be at least 35 years of age or older. Throughout the course of time, the United States, has had 45 different presidents elected into office, all of which have been men. The United States has never had a woman as president, but this may change after the presidential election of 2016 where the first woman in history is running
They go on to say that animal testing has also contributed to human health through the development of “vaccinations against smallpox, measles, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus; development of anesthesia, antibiotics, and insulin; use of cardiac pacemakers and heart bypass surgery; surgical advancements for organ transplants, hip replacements, and cataract surgery; and treatments for a host of diseases, including diabetes, multiple sclerosis, AIDS, and children’s leukemia” (www.cvma.net). Although the CVMA supports animal research, they only condone it if it is practiced under professional, humane, and ethical conditions. “Research animals are protected by a host of state, federal, and international laws. It is estimated that less than half-a-percent of research animals are dogs, cats, and primates. According to AMP, more than 95 percent of research animals are rats and mice bred for research studies”
Jane Goodall found that neighboring chimps engage in warfare. Actually, in November of 1960, was when she discovered that chimpanzees could make and use tools. In 2002, Jane Goodall was designated as a United Nations Messenger of Peace. In 2010, they released the documentary film about Jane Goodall. On September 30, 2014, Jane Goodall got an orchid named after her.
Throughout the semester in class, we read a lot of short stories, and poems. One of the stories that stuck out to me the most to me, is The Canterbury Tales written by Geoffrey Chaucer. This tale is based on the millers, which is the topic of my paper. When it comes to the millers, there is a lot to know such as who they are, what they do, how the mills worked, their role in the Feudal system, how they make a living, what they ate, where they lived, what kind of clothing they wore, how the millers are able to assure they can continue to make enough money to live on, and so much more.
In discussion of animal rights, one controversial issue has been whether or not animals should be use for medical testing. On the one hand, some scientists argue that animal testing has contributed for many cures and treatments. On the other hand, animal rights activist contends that alternative methods now exist that can replace the need for animals. Others even maintain that animal testing is an essential part in medical research. My own view is that animals should not be used in medical testing because is no longer necessary now there are methods that are safer and have better results than animals do.
