...I believe the Baby Lab is a valid experiment but I do not believe the results are interpreted the correct way. The Baby Lab tested babies judgement of ¨good” and ¨bad” actions. The Baby Lab did not have any outside variables I could see affecting the opinion of the babies that were not on purpose. This lab was also replicated multiple times by different people with similar results which allows me to be more confident in the experiment. The conclusion of the Baby Lab was babies are most likely born with a sense of right and wrong, good or bad. This conclusion was made off of 75%-80% of the babies tested chose a stuffed animal that acted with a sense of morality. I disagree that this conclusion is definite because as the critique stated...

...Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. All of these agencies agree that breastfeeding should be done for the first twelve months of life. Mothers and babies build unspeakable bonds during breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is one of the most natural things a mother can do, yet it is becoming a declining choice among mothers when it comes to feeding their newborn. When a mother chooses to use formula over breast milk, both she and the baby loose out in many ways, two of the most important being critical nutrition and bonding time. Parents spend what could be considered small fortunes on formula when they could be feeding the babies for free by choosing the breast. A way to address the problem of the decline in mother’s breastfeeding is to provide more education, and to provide more support while beginning to change the public’s opinion on mom’s breastfeeding in public. Typical education on breastfeeding usually comes from two sources. One of those sources is prenatal classes that parents take while they are still pregnant. Breastfeeding is talked about but not in an in-depth or continual way. An example of a typical prenatal class is a four week course. The breastfeeding portion is about fifty-five minutes of one of those Saturdays. (Durham, nd.) The other time that parents learn about breast feeding is right after their baby is born. A lactation consultant will come into the recovery room, often only by request, to assist with positioning and feeding guidelines. In order to get...

...true since baby tiger, monkeys, and elephants are my favorite animals and I was finally getting the chance to see all of them in person and interact with them. Myrtle Beach Safari is a hands-on educational tour where I got the chance to play with exotic animals while learning about their natural habitat. Days before the safari my aunt, sister and I went to the store to find a non-expensive pair of shoes. We did this so that we could decorate the bottom of the shoes. On the safari website, we realized that shoes were featured heavily on the pictures taken by the safari guides. We decorated our shoes with sharpie, glue and glitter. When we made it to the safari, we came to the conclusion that it was not the greatest idea to decorate our shoes because they started to mess up as we walked. The safari was in the middle of a town in myrtle beach and you would have never thought there would be all of these exotic animals. There is a house owned by the...

...becoming highly body conscious as 82% of Australian males identified they are spending significantly more money on tending to their physical appearance when compared to premillennial habits (McCrindle Social Research 2013). This can be attributed to the increased media exposure to male specific lifestyle magazines and shows (IBISWORLD 2013). Not only are Australian males become more image conscious they are also recognizing the importance of maintaining healthy lifestyles (Euromonitor 2013). Australian men can be demographically profiled by generation, Baby Boomers being aged roughly 47-65, Generation X aged early 30’s to mid-40’s, Generation Y born between 1981 and 1994 and Generation Z those born between 1995-2009 (Holroyd 2011). Over the next five years the population of Australians over 50 is expected to grow to 8.5 million people, making up 32% of Australia’s total population (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2013). The baby boomer age cohort will therefore represent a market of 4 million Australian males (IBISWORLD 2013). This presents them as a key target demographic for Bulldog Natural Skincare.

...Like the animals we see roaming freely in the African savanna, captive animals deserve the same fate. It is unlawful and against morals to keep them behind bars when both them and their ancestors from the past resided in the wild and had adapted and were best suited to their own environments. Many animals are taken from their natural habitats and climates, and even worse, their mothers, to just provide entertainment for humans. We can just watch nature channels or videos if we really want to see animals instead of letting them suffer. It is better to see animals when they are in their own natural habitats instead of seeing them in faulty enclosures. These animals are forced to live in climates and habitats that they are not well suited for...

...The Wrongs on Animal Testing As soon as a person walks into a laboratory, they can’t help but notice the rows and rows of barren cages holding sad animals living under the glare of florescent bulbs. Their bodies are burned, mutilated, and scarred. Animals who have had their heads crushed grip their faces and convulse as blood pours out of their noses. They can smell and taste the stench of blood, feces, and fear (Facts on File). These animals don’t deserve to feel/ look this way. Animal testing doesn’t always have the same outcome on humans that they would have on animals. Secondly, animal testing is very expensive for the fact that the substances tested may never be used for anything. Finally, there are alternatives to animal testing. There are alternatives such as using a petri dish. For these reasons, animal testing should be banned. The outcomes on animals are rarely the same on humans. For example, the 1950’s pill thalidomide caused 10,000 babies to be born with severe deformities (ProCon.org). The pill was tested on pregnant mice, rats, guinea pigs, cats, and hamsters. For this, people further claim that animal testing has not been scientifically proven to predict the outcomes on humans. How much longer can animal testing go on without being 100% percent positive...

...I’m sure many people are qualified for this scholarship. They probably all say how they’ve loved animals ever sense they were young and how this has been there dream ever sense they were little, now I’m going to tell you why I feel like I deserve this scholarship. Yes, ever sense I was a little girl I’ve wanted to be an animal cop and yes this is my dream, but I’ve worked hard for this dream. I love to help animals in need. Some people say that some animals don’t deserve a home but I feel like some people don’t deserve an animal. I have over 300 hours at my local animal shelter and it is just sad on why some animals come into the shelter neglect, abuse, and just the fact they don’t want them anymore. What I’ve learned is people want babies so we are stuck with a lot of older animals at the shelter. Every animal deserves a second chance its just takes one person to save a life and I want to be the one who help them find each other. I am also an animal foster parent. I take home animals that are either to young to go up for adoption or hurt. Sadly not all the animals make it, I’ve actually brought home two foster kittens a week later one pasted away then a week after that the second one pasted. It’s a risk every time you take home a foster animal because trust me loose one hurts more then anything. I also take animals off the street or from people that just shouldn’t have an animal. Actually this past week I took a kitten that this girl little sister found. They kept him in...

...The Galapagos Islands is a wonderland of unusual and fascinating wildlife, and it seems impossible to choose five. However, since the animals inhabit all the islands, you may need to choose your destination. Five Animals of the Galapagos That You Must See The Galapagos Islands is a treasure trove of endemic species of birds, mammals and amphibians. Renowned for its unique wildlife, it is no wonder Charles Darwin became fascinated. Many of the species that exist today evolved into new species from animals that drifted to the islands millions of years ago. Galapagos Tortoise The Galapagos tortoise is the most famous creature on the islands. It represents the islands all over the world, and when the Spanish arrived it was so ubiquitous, they named the islands Tortoise or in Spanish, Galapagos. It is the largest tortoise species in the world and lives more than 170 years. It had no natural predators for millenniums, so it developed a docile temperament, which made it easy to exploit for the first humans to arrive on the islands. There were around 250,000 roaming the islands as recently at 200 years ago, but today, there...

...Meghan Walker ENG 130 Kathryn Geranios July 9,2015 Breast-Milk VS Formula Some mothers breastfeed their babies, and others use powder or liquid based formula. Is one option better or more importantly healthier than the other? I feel that breast milk is more beneficial for babies and new mothers. It promotes brain developments, strengthens the babies immune system, and reduces the risk of SIDS. What is the difference between breastmilk and formula? Breast milk is recommended by pediatricians and the WHO "world health organization". All infants are suggested to be bottle feed until they are 12 months before introducing them to whole milk. Milk is an infant’s primary source of nutrients until they are 12 months of age. In that 12 months, the benefits of breastmilk can last a lifetime. The benefits of Brest feeding can sometimes sound endless. Breastfeeding is convenient, moms don't have to make bottles they are the bottles! Breastfeeding is free, and it contains all the nutrients that the baby needs. Breast milk is packed with disease-fighting substances that protects baby from stomach viruses, lower repertory illnesses, ear infections and asthma! Children who are breastfed have a 20% lower risk of dying between the ages of 28 days and one year. Breast milk is specifically tailored for the baby. With all of the benefits, I have listed to add to the list is children who are breastfed are less likely to develop certain childhood cancers, develop diabetes...

...Did you know that according to the Delaware Action For Animals, more than 40 million animals are killed each year for fun? That means that animal families, babies, and kids are killed each year. This is called animal abuse. To me this is wrong and animals deserve a life just like other people. Pretend you are in a jungle and you are with your family. It is peaceful. A guy pops out and starts trying to kill your family. Your whole family starts dying and then you get shot. Most people would be scared, sad, and worried. This is probably what animals feel like when they are being hunted. One reason why people abuse animals is to hunt for fun and to make money or decorations. For example, people cut off chimps hands and sell them for souvenirs. Imagine people killed you, sold your hands for money, and people bought them for souvenirs. When people go hunting after they also skin the animals or stuff them so they can have decorations on their wall. Many people do this so people think that they are cool. According to peta.org 40 percent of hunters slaughter millions of animals on public land every year. Hunters who make decorations out of dead animals are terribly cruel because they are taking away lives from innocent animals. Cutting off animal heads to hang on the wall is very weird and strange....

...the second greatest cause of ill health globally by 2020. It is also predicted that billion* dollars is the amount of money the animal film industry will make in year*. What do these two have in common? Studies have shown that people become happier participating in nature and animal conservation activities. In Chris Palmer “Shooting in the Wild: An insiders Account Of Making Movies In The Animal Kingdom” Palmer reveals the business of creating a wildlife film to convey a conservation message and some of the darker tactics used in deceiving the public to emotionally be inclined to take action. This study will take a close look at how two documentaries “Arctic Tale” and “Grizzly Man” relate to conveying a message to save the animals and how it contributes to depression in humans and how they differ between their methods of practice. Wildlife documentaries and TV programs in America have increasingly become more sensationalized then ever before in human history. As people become more disconnected with nature and animals, more and more people are becoming depressed through their hectic lives and often yearn to be reconnected to the natural world again. However, the bond between humans and the wild are connected through the lens of a camera. As Chris Palmer has mentioned “During primetime in September 2008, more than 30 million viewers tuned in to Animal Planet, which is now seen in 94 million households in the United States and more than 220 million internationally.”(Palmer. Pg 5)...
