...Today, the debate over animal rights is widely spread around the world. A lot more leather and fur companies found the business over making clothes from real animal skin, very beneficial for making a lot of money. Usually, those companies follows fashion and demands of famous people because they can bring the companies a lot of money. Therefore, many non famous people look up to the famous ones and see that they wear expensive fur on their jackets. So, this becomes a huge demand in 21st century. However, there are people who would not wear fur and leather because they stand for the animal rights. The debate whether we should put animals through misery in order to make fashionable and expensive clothes to feel more "sexy", became a sensitive question among people. I think animals should take place in our world not as equal to us but as a kingdom which is the most close to ours. That means we should respect them and satisfy their needs as much as they satisfy ours. The business that deals with making real animal fur and leather became such a good deal today. The companies that work in this business became very popular because the demand for real leather and fur has increased. This demand increased due to the fact that so many famous people wants to wear it. They have a lot of money, so they usually do not care about how much they will spend on clothes and they especially do not care how that clothes is made . Many of them want to look fashionable, to show the world that they...

...made tents or built igloos, depending on the season. The Inuit hunted animals such as caribou and sea mammals for food. The practice of eating raw meat, disapproved of by their Native American neighbors, saved scarce fuel and provided their limited diet with essential nutritional elements that cooking would destroy. Except for the Caribou Eskimo of central Canada, they were a littoral people who roved inland in the summer for freshwater fishing and game hunting. They used animal bones to make harpoons and fishhooks.Eskimos traditionally used various types of houses. Tents of caribou skins or sealskins provided adequate summer dwellings; in colder seasons shelter was constructed of sod, driftwood, or sometimes stone, placed over excavated floors. Among some Eskimo groups the snow hut was used as a winter residence (see igloo). More commonly, however, such structures were used as temporary overnight shelters during journeys. The dogsled was used for the hauling of heavy loads over long distances, made necessary by the Eskimos' nomadic hunting life. Their skin canoe, known as a kayak, is one of the most highly maneuverable small craft ever constructed. Hunting technologies included several types of harpoons, the bow and arrow, knives, and fish spears and weirs. While iron and guns have come into common use in the 20th cent., previously weapons were crafted from ivory, bone, copper, or stone. Their clothing was sewn largely of caribou hide and included parkas, breeches, mittens...

...Their technique was to drive the animals into lanes leading either to corrals or over cliff edges. They also used communal drives to hunt deer and antelope. After the hunt, a Flathead community would divide the meat among the people. Fish and vegetable were also in their diet but they fished less than other tribes because fish were less available on the eastern side and because other food sources, like bison, were more abundant. In March or April, a ceremony marked the harvest of the first bitterroot plants. Bitterroots and other plants would be dried and kept for later use. Sun-dried berries, such as chokeberries and huckleberries, would be ground and pressed into cakes. The Flathead also ground and dried meat. Women had a big role in collecting food and cooking in all...

...Why do we use animals to be tested on? Is it ethical or unethical? Many animals are used every year to test on human products, medications, and possible cures for diseases. These animals range from anywhere from rats to dogs and cats. Some tests are to help other animals as well, but are these test necessary and do we benefit from them? In the Journal essay I will discuss the benefits of animal testing and I will also discuss the downside of animal testing. When animals are used for testing cures and medicines, it helps us know if it is safe for humans to use them. The ethical side of animal testing is that it is good for us humans, because it helps us with answers and experiments. Researchers think that animals can feel no pain because they do not have a conscious. In pence’s book it says, “Animals are like fleshy machines: their eyes reflected no soul, and no pain lay behind their external “pain behavior”. So why do people get all worked up over animal testing if animals do not feel pain like us humans do? Animals have no pain or conscious, therefore they are tested on so humans do not have to suffer the pain from experiments. If we kill animals for food, why can we not use them for beneficial experiments as well? Animals are produced all the time for our food sources, and they have to be killed to become our food. If people think animals suffer from testing, they have to suffer in being raised for our food as well. If we allow animals to be produced and slaughtered for...

...He had a positive effect on all Sarcee Indians. He was the chief of the Sarcee Indians from 1947 to 1953. He started a band farm where the Sarcees cleared and broke 200 acres of land and together learned the skills necessary to farm it. Also, he encouraged the children to get a good education. He fought for the rights and benefits for his people. From the effects of settlers, David Crowchild still kept his people happy and from him they adapted more techniques and opportunities such as being able to get a good education. He also encouraged to boys on the reserve to try new things such as baseball and hockey. David Crowchild allowed the Sarcee Indians to be recognized by the government that some tribes don’t usually get the chance to have. The Europeans did not really affect the Sarcee territorial wise because most of the europeans settled on the east coast. Later on a disease of smallpox caused by the settlers swept westward and the Sarcee caught it causing...

...1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background In recent years, a small number of international students have experienced some harassment on public transport, got sick with Redback Spiders and also they have a problem with sun in Australia. It is necessary to know about some dangers if they want to live or study in Australia. This information can be useful for international students to make their stay in Australia more comfortable and successful. 1.2 Aims The purpose of this report is to introduce three types of dangers which could happen to International students who live in the Australia. The Redback spider is one the dangerous animals in Australia which can bite people. It can cause serious illness and in some cases it might lead to death of a person. The second type is an environmental danger. People have a serious problem with the sun in Australia. It can cause a skin cancer. The last type is a personal danger. Public transport is usually safe during the day but it may become less safe at night. This is a big issue for people who traveling alone at night. 2.0 Three Types of Dangerous For International Students 2.1 Dangerous Animal 2.1.1 Redback Spider The Redback Spider (Latrodectus hasselti) belongs to the Family Theridiidae, which is found worldwide. Other kinds of Redback Spiders are in Africa, New Zealand, The Pacific Islands, Europe and North and South America. Female Redback Spiders are black with a red or orange stripe on the upper abdomen, sometimes...

...thousands of mistreated animals. Since animals do not have a voice of their own, they cannot defend themselves. Animal cruelty is immorally disturbing which is why these poor, innocent creatures deserve more rights. Providing care and protection should an ethical and moral obligation, because as you should see not enough is being done. Animal cruelty is often broken down into two main categories, either active or passive. Passive cruelty, or acts of omission, is animal neglect. Examples are starvation, parasite infestations, dehydration, allowing a collar to grow into an animal’s skin, inadequate shelter in extreme weather conditions, and failure to seek veterinary care when medical attention is needed. Active cruelty, or acts of commission, implies malicious intent in which a person has deliberately and intentionally caused harm to an animal. This behavior is often associated with sociopathic behavior and tendencies. Another disturbing behavior is a paraphilia called bestiality, also known as zoophilia. In a simple sense, bestiality involves intercourse with an animal and includes oral genital contact of any kind between humans and animals. Shockingly, this act is legal in several states. The common sexually abused animals are: cats, dogs, sheep, cows, hens, rabbits, goats, ducks, horses, bulls, and fish. All these animals are accessible, which is why they are commonly abused. Bestiality is considered abuse because it is forced sex. Some animals are owned for only one...

...other users of the land, but they can minimize this interference by following good etiquette. For example: * When two groups of hikers meet on a steep trail, there may be contention for use of the trail. To avoid conflict, a custom has developed in some areas whereby the group moving uphill has the right-of-way. In other situations, the larger of the two groups will usually yield to the smaller. * Being forced to hike much faster or slower than one's natural pace can be annoying, and difficult to maintain consistently. More seriously, walking unnaturally fast dramatically increases fatigue and exhaustion, and may cause injury. If a group splits between fast and slow hikers, the slow hikers may be left behind or become lost. A common custom is to encourage the slowest hiker to hike in the lead and have everyone match that speed. Another custom is to have an experienced hiker sweep up the rear, to ensure that everyone in the group is safe and nobody straggles. * Hikers often enjoy the silence and solitude of their surroundings. Loud sounds, such as shouting or loud conversation, disrupt this enjoyment. Some hikers purposely avoid loud sounds, out of deference to other hikers. Staying quiet will also increase the likelihood of encountering wildlife. (This is a hazard if dangerous animals are present; see "Personal safety hazards".) * Hikers sometimes trespass onto private property from public land or rights of way (easements). Such trespass can alienate the property owners...

...illness this year according to the local health officials. The chickens are located at Clearwater Nursery, near Lake Maggiore in St. Petersburg and Walsingham Park in Seminole. Sentinel chickens are used as an early-warning detection system for some mosquito-borne diseases. They signal that mosquitoes carrying the diseases are present in an area. West Nile virus is an illness that is transmitted by mosquitoes. Most people who contract it exhibit no symptoms, but some people will develop fevers, with other symptoms such as headaches, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rashes. Those older than 50 are the most likely to become severely ill with West Nile and should take special care to avoid mosquitoes, according to the CDC. Animals and people are at risk for catching the West Nile Virus via mosquitoes. About 1 percent of people who contract it will develop a serious neurological issue like encephalitis or meningitis. County health officials say the recent heavy rainfall has led mosquito control technicians to aggressively treat known breeding areas by ground and by air.

...stating that evidence that “human differences in intelligence…parallel human differences in technology is lacking” (19). He also states that, in example, New Guineans who were raised in remote villages and were unschooled may seem stupid to Westerners in large cities. In contrast, when Westerners who visit remote villages in New Guinea seem stupid to the local population (20). The varying definitions and types of intelligent make it unreasonable to compare intelligence of genetically varying people, especially from different environments. Another commonly espoused answer is the differences in climate stimulate human energy and creativity to develop technology. Cold climates encourages one to build a warm home and clothing, while in hotter climates, simpler homes and less clothing(22). Diamond, however, states that, also in example, the people of northern Europe did not create anything important to the Eurasian civilizations until the last couple thousands of years, and simply had the luck to live in an environment that would receive...

Effects on the ability to accommodate additional stress Following are some processes that can be hazardous for the health of workers 1. Abrasive blasting; abrasive blasting operations can create high levels of dust and noise. Abrasive material and the surface being blasted may contain toxic materials (e.g., lead paint, silica) that are hazardous to workers. Silica sand (crystalline) can cause silicosis, lung cancer, and breathing problems in exposed workers. Coal slag and garnet sand may cause lung damage similar to silica sand (based on preliminary animal testing). Copper slag, nickel slag, and glass (crushed or beads) also have the potential to cause lung damage. Steel grit and shot have less potential to cause lung...

...THE KUMEYAAY PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA by Your Name (boldface) ANTH 100: Non-Western Cultures and the Western Tradition Instructor: Dr. Steven R. James Nov. 10, 2014 INTRODUCTION In my quest to study the life of the ancient California inhabitants, I visited the San Diego Museum of Man which is an anthropological museum situated in Balboa Park, San Diego, California. The museum was established in the year 1915 as a result of the Panama-California Exposition where several exhibits were displayed with ‘The Story of Man through Ages’ being the first. At the culmination of the exposition, San Diego Museum Association sought to retain the available collection and start a permanent museum. As a result, the collection was named Museum of Man in 1942 and later in 1978 as the California Museum of Man. Besides housing the history of the Kumeyaay people, who are the subject of this research paper, the history of other Native Americans from the South of California can also be studied in this place. The museum has a population of over 100000 ethnographic items, 25000 images, and a large library of books and journals. MUSEUM EXHIBIT 1) Artifact Display On the second floor of the museum, a wide variety of the historic sources can be found. Among the displayed artifacts there are models of the early man, reconstructions of the bones of hominids, cave paintings, coffins of mummies from ancient Egypt, stone carvings, and remains of the Egyptian mummy known as Lemon Grove. The culture of the people...
