...In 2005, two polar bears at the St. Louis Zoo died within weeks of each other. Churchill, one of the polar bears, died after ingesting objects spectators thrown into his exhibit. Approximately five weeks following this incident, Penny, the other polar bear, died from an infection caused by having two dead fetuses in her uterus (“Zoos: Pitiful Prisons” 1). Penny and Churchill are not the only animals who suffered in a zoo. Many animals are tormented as shown with Churchill and lacked proper care as shown with Penny. On various occasions, people often throw objects and food not fit for animals into the enclosure. These items are capable of severely damaging an animal's health, and it can even lead to death. Animals deserve not to be held...

...Zoo animals and their rights, which was always debatable, has now become more controversial. The substantial influence of zoos and their treatment with animals has sparked the controversy over the potential impact of this trend on the integral part of people in recent years. It can be agreed that upside of this argument is instrumental indeed. However, it has some drawbacks as well. This essay will elaborate whether zoos should be banned or not and will lead to the logical conclusion. At the outset, there are numerous reasons why zoos are important and should not be prohibited, is unreservedly salient, but the most conspicuous one lies the fact that zoos help the animals to provide them good food and vaccination on time which enhances their...

...Animal rights is an emotive issue to argue with. People have different views about keeping the animals in zoos. I believe that zoos are one of the ways to safe the instict of animals who are in danger. Opponents of constraint animals in zoos argue that it is against the nature to prison animals in small cages, which deters their natural capabilities, as a result they are emotionally weak as compared to the wild animals in jungles. It is also believed, that caged animals are presented as an entertainment to people who come to visit the zoos. Therefore, these animals have to be there all the time to entertain which can be the reason of their lack in sleep and diet and lead them to be sick. However, I am unconvinced that zoos should be banned....

...people believe zoos can gain benefit to people by educational and economical, so we should support them. For freedom, environmental, and zoos are not for educational or protection place, three reasons I believe zoos are cruel places and they should all be shutdown, set the animals to be free. The first reason why I believe all zoo should be close and all animals should be free is freedom. Animals belong in nature and each animals' species have their own natural behavior. When people imprison them in the cage where limited spaces, the animals can get the negative effect in their physical and mental. Animals can lose abilities to do physical activities, they won't be able to hunt because people always feed them, and they won't learn how to escape because there are not any animals can hurt them. The physical...

...The original intention of zoos was to provide a sanctuary for animals that were endangered or at risk of extinction. Unfortunately the intent of zoos has been skewed towards a more commercialized profit turing business. There have been recent incidents bringing this to public light raising public concern for the effectiveness of zoos. Modern zoos no longer serve their original intention and are unethical and cruel to animals. A fundamental question is raised when one considers the ethics of zoos. Should animals be afforded the same rights of life and liberty and humans have? Do animals have the natural, god-given rights afforded to humans? The obvious answer to most people is “no”, animals are not human and therefore do not have right. However, many people believe that animals should be afforded the same basic rights to freedom that humans have, which zoos deny them of. There was a time where zoos were critical to the conservation...

...When was the last time people have visited zoos? Zoos are welcome for anyone. They were made to entertain visitors, keep the animals safe, and help them stay away from extinction! Although there have been a few accidents, zoos are one of the best outdoor places to learn, tour, and have fun! Many people around the world have found enjoyment at zoos. At zoos, people can interact with wild animals that they could only see on TV. Society would get to have a personal experience with the animals. Zoos are inexpensive. Zoos usually cost around eight through ten dollars. In the end, zoos are worth paying the price because people will always be entertained whether it is warm, cold, or raining outside! If it's warm and sunny outside, people would be able to go around and tour to see the animal in their habitats. Tourists could have a picnic and order things at the food carts that are there. They could see the trainers work with the animals and see how they interact. When it's raining, they could go inside and see all of the amphibians and other wildlife that need either shade or colder temperatures....

...Going to the zoo has been a fun family getaway for several decades now. On average, 175 million Americans visit zoos every year, and 16 billion dollars are contributed to zoos and aquariums annually. The zoo is known as a place to save endangered animals and educate visitors about animals that can be found all around the world. But in reality, the zoo is a place where animals are removed from their natural habitat, placed into cages, and used as entertainment as a source of income. Although many people would argue that zoos do a good job at protecting animals, zoos should be banned around the world because animals are mistreated, zoos are not an effective way to help endangered species, and zoos are not a good source of education about wildlife....

...technology will potentially expand the social gap between the privileged and the underprivileged, exacerbate social injustice, and intensify discrimination against anyone perceived as having genetic “imperfection". More frighteningly, in the long run, as embryos are elaborately manipulated to formulate anticipated intellectual, physical and mental advantages, transhumanists will likely to breed a genetically superior race of super-humans. They undermine the equality of humans, and will perhaps pose a potential threat on ethical principles of equality. Consequently, these super-humans may bring in new social arrangement, stigmatize peers without genetic enhancements as genetic inferiors, much similar to our current view on chimpanzees, suitable for zoo exhibits and drug testing (Agar, 2006). In particular, those who are not genetically engineered may experience an inevitable loss of working opportunity because of their latent defective genes. Therefore, in...

...Elements of an Essay/Research Paper Writing Process The series of steps that most writers follow in producing a piece of writing. The five major stages in the writing process are finding a topic and generating ideas (discovering), focusing on a main or controlling idea and mapping out an approach (organizing), preparing a rough draft (drafting), reworking and improving the draft (revising), and proofreading and correcting errors. Discovering – The first stage in the writing process. It may include finding a topic, exploring the topic, determining purpose and audience, probing ideas, doing reading and research, planing and organizing material. Discovery usually involves writing and is aided considerably by putting preliminary thought and plans in writing. Organizing – The sequence in which the information or ideas in an essay are presented. Drafting – The stage in the writing process during which the writer puts ideas into complete sentences, connects them, and organizes them into a meaningful sequence. Revising – The stage in the writing process during which the author makes changes in focus, organization, development, style, and mechanics to make the writing more effective. Editing – The last stage in the writing process during which the writer focuses on the details of mechanics and correctness. Discovering Audience – The readers for whom a piece of writing is intended. Many essays are aimed at a general audience, but a writer can focus on a specific group of readers...

...What is an Essay? A discursive essay A discursive essay is a piece of formal writing which discusses a particular issue, situation or problem. There are three main types of discursive essays. For and against essays present both sides of an issue, discussing points in favour of a particular topic as well as those against, or the advantages and disadvantages of a particular question. Each point should be supported by justifications, examples, and/or reasons. The writer's own opinion should be presented only in the final paragraph ii Opinion essays present the writers personal opinion concerning the topic, clearly stated and supported by reasons and/or examples. The opposing viewpoint and reason should be included in a separate paragraph before the dosing one, together with an argument that shows it is an unconvincing viewpoint. The writer's opinion should be included in the introduction, and summarized/restated in the conclusion. iii Essays suggesting solutions to problems, in which the problem(s) associated with a particular issue or situation are analysed and possible solutions are put for-ward, together with any expected results/consequences. The writer's opinion may be mentioned, directly or indirectly, in the introduction and/or conclusion. A good discursive essay should consist of: a) an introductory paragraph in which you clearly state the topic to be discussed; b) a main body, in which points are clearly stated in separate paragraphs and exemplified or justified: and c)...
