...Have you ever wondered the benefits of animal tests? Well, there aren’t many. they delay the releases of cures for many diseases, they yield defective results, and they kill/injure 1,000s of humans and animals each year. This is why I argue that they should be banned from the world. I see how an innocent bystander like yourselves would be fooled by the shroud of lies surrounding animal tests and I hope this can make you see the truth. My first reason is that these tests actually delay cures from being released, not hurry them up like they're supposed to. For instance, blood transfusions were delayed a whole 200 years by animal studies! In addition, The polio vaccine was delayed by another 40 years because of … ( big surprise) monkey tests! My last piece of evidence is...

All freshmen have to take “gen eds” and you can tell which students might find these pointless. I, however, did not find these pointless, and I am here to tell you why these “gen eds” and a liberal education are important whether you have a plan or not. When I first came to UWO I pretty much had my future mapped out. I was set out to be an elementary school teacher. At first I thought the paired classes idea was ridiculous and pointless. Why do I need learn...

...War is an endless topic, and an ongoing conversation. In the movie , Howls Castle, war is condemned by both main characters, shown as both pointless and malevolent. Itt starts off in a modern town. Throughout the beginning, a girl named Sophie is turned into an older woman but a richer upper-class woman. Sophie ends up in Howls Castle, and after meeting with Calcifer (a fire demon) stays for a bit. During her time there, a war is engaged. Howl, a wizard with an obvious secret, fights and meets with some of the top leaders. Howl can be seen fighting with other creatures and talking with Sophie about how wasteful and harmful the war is. With this, I've concluded that the theme of Howl's Moving Castle is that war is bad. In the story,...

...The data protection act, of 1998 was created to give relevant companies the opportunity of holding information about their customers in their possession. This information is vital to the running of many businesses of today, as customer data is required to get information about the company across to them, and it is vital that contact can be made between the company and the customer and so companies tend to go out of their ways to ensure they do not breach the terms of the act on any way or form. When the act was made various rules were instated so that the right to holding peoples personal data could not be abused or mis-used, these include the following -data must be discarded if no longer up to date or relevant -data MUST be up to date and relevant -all people's personal data must be kept as securely as possible These rules are all good and well in writing, but when it comes to enforcing them, who is to say what 'securely as possible' is, and who is to say if data is 'relevant' or not. This is where complications come into the data protection act, the definitions of various guidelines/rules given are not entirely clear to all users. The data protection act could be pointless because of the fact that there is a possibility that criminals could have their identities protected due to the act, e.g. if someone is requesting their data, it may not be released because of the data protection act...

...You adopt the cutest one there. On your way home you notice that the kitten seems so happy that it is now going to have a home. Instead, when you get home you put the cat in stocks for a month, all the while you’re either force feeding it, depriving it of food and water, burning it, or hitting it all this because you can! Until finally you strangle it, break its neck and then decapitate it to make sure it’s dead. Feel uncomfortable? You should be, that is the way that the animals are treated during animal experimentation. Scientists are wasting countless lives of animals to cruel experiments that should never have been done. First of all most animal tests are not needed and are done in poor fashion. According to the article “Animal Welfare”, “First the test that was done...was for products that had already been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This meant that the test didn’t need to be repeated. Second, the same test could have been done on human subjects who...

...Nihilism is the belief that life is meaningless as well as the rejection of all religious beliefs and moral principles. As Grendel says this, he shows his belief that there is no linear existence to the world. He claims “The world resists me and I resist the world,” (28) as well as “That's all there is. The mountains are what I define them as.” (28). He says this to show that there really is no significance to objects, only the significance HE gives them. “The world is all a pointless accident”, means that in reality, there is no meaning to anything. He believes only his mind exists. For example he finishes by saying “I exist, nothing else.” (28). Grendel clearly believes that existence is everything he perceives it to be. Just as he defines what the mountains are (28) he could define what the bull, human, his mom, and the world around him...

...battle as a satirical allegory for human conflict. Thoreau chooses to use ants as a metaphor to make it clear to the reader that war is futile, pointless, and a waste of life. “The Battle of the Ants” begins with Thoreau casually walking out to his wood-pile as he stumbles upon the battle between the red ants and the black ants. After this, he compares these ants to humans, making the allegory apparent from the start. “It was the only battle which I have ever witnessed… On every side they were engaged in deadly combat, yet without any noise that I could hear, and human soldiers never fought so resolutely” (575). Thoreau uses hyperbole early in his essay to reinforce its anti-war theme as he describes the fighting ants to be in the middle of war. However, he implies that this war is miniscule by reminding the reader of its setting: a wood-yard. Thoreau goes on to describe an even smaller battle he witnesses between two ants, again, amid the chips, giving more scope to the idea that war is irrelevant compared to the broader schemes of the world. “I watched a couple that were fast locked in each other’s embraces, in a little sunny valley amid the chips, now at noonday prepared to fight till the sun went down, or life went out… They fought with more pertinacity than bulldogs” (575). Thoreau also manages to include more nuances in this passage, one being a comparison between the ants and bulldogs, in turn, a comparison between human war and the persistent...

...Pointless Art or Meaningful Symbols? Hipsters, rockers, goths, hippies and other similar modern trends all have one thing in common: tattoos. This obviously doesn’t mean that everyone who are dressed in the code of these trends have tattoos on them but most adults do. Now, many individuals, when they hear “tattooed people” might imagine a person with tattoo’s instead of sleeves but that’s going from one level of extreme to another. Tats can vary in different sizes; from small to big and from single tats to connecting them all together into an enormous one. Tattoos represent so many different things that it’s impossible to mention every single meaning. Some of the things that tattoos stand for are family, friends, unforgettable memories, meaningful quotes or pictures… So all permanent body art always has a meaning behind it otherwise it’s just a plain meaningless sketch with empty symbols. So if it represents someone’s character, why do they get judged or laughed at? Often people get discriminated for having ink on their bodies by many believers who either think that your body is a gift and you should keep it safe or they may believe that tattoos represent something evil or even satanic. Obviously, we shouldn’t really care what others say but at some point it may touch us in the sense of differing from others and making ourselves feel bad about our body. Yes, our body and our life is a wonderful gift that we should treasure but why should others care about what we...

...Redding in Connecticut. The characters are very determined to get liberty and will fight for it. The war causes many unfortunate things such as innocent people being killed, a clash between generations,and divided families. The story goes through many changes that can lead to tragicness, but does lead to liberty. The authors argue that the war was pointless and they show it in various ways. One way the authors argue against the Revolutionary War is how innocent people die. “In June of that year, 1777, we found out that father was dead” (Collier and Collier 164). Mr. Meeker was against the war and was a Tory, however he died on a Tory prisonship. This is an ironic event because an innocent man who had nothing to do with war, was killed. “He went on jerking with flames on his chest until another soldier shot him again. Then he stopped jerking” (Collier and Collier 208). It shows how Sam died, but why he died is completely unfair. Sam was framed and was innocent, but was killed by his own team. The authors proved how people died during the...

...tour the area. Following the First World War, the Soviet Union and the United States made their missile programs, all aimed at space exploration. Knowing that space exploration is one costly affair, there have been raging debates whether it is necessary to spend tons of money on it. This essay begs to answer the question, "Is money spent on space exploration a waste?" It is better for countries to spend money improving the financial status of their country and its people. Countries should not channel their funds on sponsoring scientists to go to space yet their people are suffering back at home (Kranz, 2011). The money otherwise spent on space exploration could be used to take care of the destitute children, improve health care and the education quality. Some countries do not have enough employment for their youths. It could be logical to create resources that generate jobs then visit space. Jerry asserts that the earth is not entirely explored meaning that there is no need to go explore space (2009). There is a lot of potential on earth enormous that would be more interesting than space. There are beautiful stones on planet earth, particular indigenous trees, and beautiful world animals on this side of the Sahara. On earth, you will find large water bodies that are a remarkable sight. It makes no sense for one to go visiting space, yet he or she has not exhausted the...

...people and started the spread of a deadly plague. To start off, the Crusades were pointless, as they did not accomplish anything. The reason that the Christians started the Crusades was to take control of the Holy Land in Jerusalem for the Muslims, but the Christians were unsuccessful and everything stayed the same. First, “Pope Urban II called for a crusade against the Muslims to regain control of Jerusalem.” This text shows that the point of the crusades was to gain control of Jerusalem, and when the Crusades were finished, the Muslims still controlled it. Next, “Crusaders sought to gain ground in the Holy Land through short-lived raids that proved little...

... Catherine Cahill Philosophy 201: Philosophy and Contemporary Ideas August 8, 2012 Self-proclaimed atheist H.J. McClosky attempts to promote atheism as a superior belief to that of theism in his paper “On Being an Atheist”. McClosky begins his paper by referring to philosophical arguments for the existence of God as proofs. Right away there is a problem with this language and the usage of the word proof if one intends to argue with the majority of philosophers who present arguments for the existence of God or most standard arguments. The basic outline of a philosophical argument follows that an argument is either inductive or deductive. A deductive argument holds that the premise entails the conclusion and an inductive argument holds that a premise renders the conclusion likely to be true. Neither form claims to have empirical proof but only to convey validity and soundness of an argument to be accepted by one who is sane, rational and possesses properly working faculties. Secondly, before abandoning an argument for the question of God’s existence because it cannot be definitively proven...

...In this paper, I will argue in support of Wykstra’s criticism of the Evidential Problem of Evil’s (EPE) claim that ‘probably, there exist pointless evils’. I will contest the arguments against Wykstra’s criticism and give alternative examples. Wykstra’s Argument Wykstra asserts that man’s cognitive limitations cannot be compared with the omnipotent and omniscient nature of God, and it is unsurprising that the evil in the world is inscrutable to us. To illustrate, he utilizes the good parent analogy. We view the relationship between God, a perfectly loving being, and humans as analogous to that of good parents and their children. Loving parents permit the administering of a painful injection for vaccinations to their young child. The child cannot comprehend this suffering, but this does not allow the claim that the medicine (evil) is pointless, nor does it undermine the love of the parents (God). Criticism of Wykstra Wykstra’s response is deemed inadequate as some argue: A) God should comfort humans, just as you would expect loving parents to comfort their child. B) A perfectly good being would reveal his reasons to you for allowing this suffering, just as a parent would to their child. In response to A, we ask the question: Why does a parent comfort their baby? Not because the baby will understand, but partially because they are helpless to do anything else. These acts can be seen as more a form of ‘self comfort’ for a parent. Subsequently, self-comforting acts are not...
