Animals Literature Reviews Samples For Students

The issue of how different genders regard the treatment of animals is a very interesting one; the way in which we may or may not be hard-wired plays a crucial role in determining just how we interact with animals. The prevailing wisdom is that men treat animals more harshly than women do, and therefore hunting is much easier for them. However, the line between domesticated animals/pets and wild animals is often blurred for many, and women tend to be more predisposed to anthropomorphize and humanize animals in their minds. The differences between how men and women look at animals can be ...

The topic whether meat or vegetarian diet is the better choice is a bone of contention for centuries. Admittedly, it is very difficult to figure out the advantages and disadvantages of both diets to determine what ways one overweighs the other. Volumes have been already written on the topic, and this paper in particular will argue that vegetarian diet is advisable when compared to meat diet that involves numerous risks. This will review a few reliable sources to make a clear view of the topic and its scope for further research.
Until recently, the advantages of vegetarianism were not clinically proven, ...

St. Thomas Aquinas’ philosophy is that all living things have a soul; therefore, like humans, brute animals (i.e. non-human animals) possess a soul. The soul being referred to man should not be understood in the same sense that pertaining to animals.
The difference between the soul of brute animals and the soul of man is their subsistence. The soul of animals is not subsistent. It mainly pertains to sense, the subsistent form of which is the body. It drives the body and at the same time is affected by the body. Sensory capabilities, and thus the soul, of animals are ...

In Eudora Wetly story “A Worn Path,” the path that the old woman Phoenix Jackson walks on symbolizes the theme of the story—that repetition in life can become similar to the monotony of death. An old woman Phoenix Jackson goes to town to by medicine for her grandson. But, her grandson has died. Her body is frail, and her memory is failing. But like a path that persists in the woods, she still shows courage and resolve in going about her daily duties. She has become so accustomed to her routines that her routines are more vivid than her ...

Captive Breeding of Marine Mammals: Challenges and Mitigating Measures

Introduction
The growing demand to sustain the current lifestyle of the human population puts an added strain to the natural resources of the world. The increase in the exploitation of tropical forests and marine communities leads to a series of habitat destruction thereby leaving thousands of species of both terrestrial and marine animal homeless (Soule et al., 1986). Since 1986, there are already about nineteen percent and nine percent of the world’s mammals and birds respectively that are bread by zoos as per the International Zoo Yearbook Census. Based on the International Species Inventory System, there are about ...

Mitochondria are important organelles found in all nucleated cells contained in both plants and animals. It is because they are the sites in which organic substrates are oxidized to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a substance normally used as a provider of chemical power. This energy produced is used up in most intercellular processes (Pon & Schon, 2011). This discourse will analyze the difference that exists in mitochondrial movement, in plants and animals.
Notable differences between plant mitochondria movements and animal mitochondria movements do occur mainly because of the physical and integral distinctions that are found between the two organisms. To execute ...

William Faulner’s ‘As I Lay Dying’ is a literature piece depicting the social interaction in a family setting. The literature piece involves the use of many symbolic applications in the unreal world and other factors from human characters. Faulkner expands his imagination beyond the human character. However, Faulkner uses each and every symbolism in the novel in relation to human character. Furthermore, characterization in the novel is based on human character that can be compared or symbolized through another non-human character. This ability ensures the continuity of the plot as the characters are developed under different archetypes.
Faulkner creates ...

Applied behaviour analysis and animal behaviour

According to (Bekoff, 2013), behaviour analysis refers to a scientific approach that helps an individual to understand why animal and people do and behave the way they do.

This includes the event that are there in their physical and their social environments. Teacher’s researchers and parents make use of behaviour analysis to tell how the physical and social environment impacts on behaviour change.

Dear (Instructor’s Name):
I am writing this essay to share my analysis and arguments on Mark Twain’s conflicting theories of human evolution and behavior. Through my arguments, I hope to alter whatever negative perspectives my readers keep against human behavior.
I always have the notion that literary analysis is the most challenging task in essay writing. However, I realized that interpreting the various styles of persuasion and literary compounds that Mark Twain used throughout his essay helped me to learn analytical skills in expressing my views and supporting my arguments.

In David Foster Wallace’s seminal nonfiction essay “Consider the Lobster,” the noted author reports for a culinary magazine his experiences at the 2004 Maine Lobster Festival. According to Wallace, “The Maine Lobster Festival represents less an intersection of the [tourism and lobster] industries than a deliberate collision, joyful and lucrative and loud” (Wallace). From basic descriptions of the etymology and history of the lobster and the event itself, Wallace moves on to even stickier metaphysical questions as to the nature of this ritualistic delicacy, even approaching moral questions as to the ethics of cooking and killing lobster. While a consensus is ...

The intent of this literary evaluation is to present the themes of the novel War Horse and explain how they brought the story to life in War, Horses and Human Nature. War is the central theme throughout the novel that brings a vast amount of conflict. The Horse and narrator of the story is a compelling way to show human compassion and love on a level that is profoundly human. Therefore, Human Nature abounds in the development of the story and ...

Rick Bass’s short story Antlers is about much more than just the ethics of hunting, and even though its plot is vague, the story is still rich with symbolic meaning. In the story, Bass provides a glimpse of the life of a group of people, living in a small, secluded town. Bass’s story is an example of how humanity has rejected and lost its primal roots, and how confused it gets when interacting with the last remnants of animal instincts. There came a time when human beings came up with the idea that they are distinct and at a higher status than ...

Humans since they began forming societies have concerned themselves with the thought and question of how we can perfect society into making it an ideal state. The word Utopia’s etymological roots go back to 1516 when Sir Thomas More used it in his book Utopia, which was a fictional work displaying an ideal society. George Orwell’s novel, Animals Farm, is a work that has a plot of animals attempting to develop a ideal society, but the work as a whole is dystopian, meaning it is making a case for the impossibility of an ideal or perfected society, since often time these societies forget ...

The concept of learned helplessness is ultimately a condition in which the specified animal or a human being learns to behave in a particular manner that is unique from the others. The character trait that a person learns becomes mutually embedded in ones behaviour hence becomes helpless in the context of trying to avoid over the same. A person learns with time to appreciate the positive rewards from the behaviour and clings to it.
The condition arises when a person is continuously subjected in an aversive stimulus. The stimulus should be in the overview that one cannot escape from the quagmire hence an ...

1.0 Mitochondria in eukaryotic cells
Organelles are special compartments surrounded by a bilipid membrane which separates them from the rest of the cell which carry out specific functions. An example of an organelle is the mitochondria which are known to be the “powerhouse of the cell.” They have their own genome (mtDNA) and are semiautonomous. They are said to have evolved from a free α proteobacterium like organism (Takasugi, Yagi, et al., 2010). The word mitochondria is derived from two Greek words: “mitos” which means thread and “chondros” which means “grain”. These two words offer an apt description of the morphology ...

Even if privacy may be necessary, carrying out closed door researches can be sop risky to many people. For instance, Amanda and Jack became victims in the research activities done by Ricky. Meanwhile, other people and animals were greatly affected by the hazardous autonomous swarms of bacteria and nanobots that spread from the laboratory to the far distant lands. Many of the wild and domestic animals were killed. For instance, a rabbit was suffocated to death by the effects of these swarms. Unfortunately, Julia, a vice president for the Xymos Company also became a victim when she was infested ...

Most people would not take notice of an old man resting on a bridge, especially during wartime when a battle is expected any moment. But the soldier in Hemingway’s short story “Old Man at the Bridge” does notice the old man and listen to what the man has to say. The short story was published in 1938 but the idea and the notes for the story were made by Hemingway in Spain earlier in the 1930s. General Franco, a fascist, had decided to overthrow the government and went to war against the people of Spain so he could take power as a ...

Literature is used as a means of communication from one person to another. Most of the literary works have a deeper meaning in that there is more to the work than meets the eye. Literature is not only a source of communication but stimulates the brain of the reader. Both Snyder and Theodor Roethke’s poems have this quality and have thus played a significant part in the classic English literature (Perkins & Perkins, p. 23).
The following research paper focuses on the poems written by both Snyder and Roethke. It seeks to review the analysis of “The late snow and the lumber ...

The Dichotomy of Being Vegan or Non-vegan

Many authors have different positions when it comes to whether or not animals should be used as meat to feed human beings. Various grounds have necessitated these arguments. And some of the reasons for the arguments include the moral values as well as the religious values that the authors have and value of the animal as God's creation. Business owners have branded animals as items, without putting into consideration the pain and terror that the cows, sheep, goat and all other animals in the farm undergo. The primary motive as to why the authors responded to the use of ...

The population of deer in the Midwest is tremendously on the decline, a situation that raises efforts of conservation agencies in addressing the situation. The deer represent a class of wild animals that require maintaining their numbers in order to increase the reproductive ability of future generations. More specifically, the deer population in the United States of America in 2014 was 32.1million where 28.5million represented the numbers of whitetails, and only 3.6 million accounted for the black tails, mules and others (America's Department of Natural Resources: --the U.S. Department of the Interior 15). Notably, the numbers had dropped from 33.5 million ...

People hold different views on matters of contraception in relation to abortion and Marquis is no different. According to him, abortion is immoral since it deprives the fetus the benefits it ought to enjoy in the future as well as the art of appreciating its current position as a fetus. He excludes the abortions done with regards to special cases such as prior to implantation, if the life of the mother is threatened by the fetus and in cases of rape. He, however, does not view the use of contraception in relation to abortion as morally wrong even though ...

In his novel, The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Grahame tells the story of a group of forestry animals who embark on a number of adventures together. Throughout the novel, Grahame presents his characters as following their instincts which, as animals, one would assume are carefully attuned to their environment and survival. However, animals or not, the characters are heavily anthropomorphised which removes any immediate suggestion that the characters rely upon their animal instincts. Equally, the behaviour which could be described as instinctive often either displays a sense of wisdom or it induces a feeling of unhappiness. The purpose of this essay is ...

Amongst the biggest problems that are being recognized is the phenomenon of global warming.

Introduction

Bacteria are the very first life forms in the history of our planet. Since the beginning they were exposed to extreme changes of temperature, pressure, pH and nutrients; hence, to survive, they had to adapt themselves. One strategy of survival is to go into suspension or dormancy, by converting themselves into a seed form or spores. When conditions become normal, these spores germinate back to vegetative form. This property is also seen in pathogenic bacteria that infect higher animals such as humans. One such group of bacteria is from the Genus Bacillus.When exposed to stress, these bacteria go into dormancy ...

“One Hundred Years of Solitude” (Cien Añosde Soledad) is a magical realist novel created by Gabriel García Márquez in 1967. This novel is referred to as the Don Quixote of Latin America because of its overwhelming popularity (Jay Corwin, 4). The novel does not have any clear and obvious philosophy that is why the perception of this novel is very individualistic. The tragic and mystique ending pushes to the idea that multiple aspects of life that are described in the novel are heavily criticized by García Márquez (Jay Corwin, 4). And one of these ...

What is the meaning of life? This question has pre-occupied human existence for ages. This quest for meaning is reflected in scientific expeditions, art, and in most religious gatherings. In “O Me! O Life!” Walt Whitman mocks this human pre-occupation with finding meaning. The fear of not knowing what life is and of being dissatisfied with one’s contribution cripples the spirit of life. Not only does he see human folly in people around him but also in himself. Life has become a “recurring” and “endless” lamentation on sorrow, sorrow that is induced by constant self-flagellation. This paper seeks to ...

Holocaust literature focuses on a multitude of different experiences, personalities, ethical choices, and behaviors-- both on the part of the victims and the perpetrators. Much of the literature that has been written on the subject focuses on the facts of the Holocaust; however, some of the literature focuses on the experiences of the victims and the aftermath that they experienced as a result of the Holocaust.
However, because this literature focuses on the same central event, it’s possible to identify many common themes that are woven into Holocaust-related short stories, poetry, drama, memoirs, and novels. In ...

The theory of human evolution says that the humanity evolved from primates, or ape, as their ancestors. According to scientific research, all mammals evolved from protomorphic reptiles in the Triassic Period, about 200 - 245 million years ago. When the dinosaurs had undergone extinction during the terminal Cretaceous, the mammals remained as the surviving groups, adapted accordingly in the Tertiary Period. The majority of mammals evolved in this very period, including the Primates, relative to humans.
There are two hypotheses, concerning the origins and evolution of today’s humans, Homo sapiens, both based on the assumption that our ...

Abstract

In “To Build a Fire,” the man’s lack of imagination; his inability to reflect on and admit the reality of his situation; and to recognize his shortcomings represent mankind’s fatal hubris. Man stands apart from Nature, not understanding that he has a place in it – he does not hold sway. To deny Nature then is, in itself, an unnatural act.

In order to known how AMP kinase, knock down leads to Biot respiration in mice; it is necessary to known how AMP kinase affects respiratory rate. AMP kinase is a metabolic sensor and is activated in response to stretching of the lung alveolar cells and other stressors. During respiration, the lung goes through cycles of expansion and contraction (Budinger et al., 2008). When the alveolar cells stretch during expansion, the 5′ AMP-activated ...

Introduction

Multiple researches suggest that dinosaurs are among the most successful groups of animals to have ever lived on earth. Their body physique and adaptability enhanced their survival thereby extending their life longevity. In the course of time, these species evolved into diverse shapes and sizes. As a result, the different types of evolved organisms embraced various modes of living. According to Xu (2006), nearly 150 years after the discovery of the first fossils of the dinosaur, this species was believed be a reptile. In fact, when Richard Owen found the first remains of this organism, the paleontologists used the ...

In addition to the direct physical manifestation of swarm phenotype –increased length and number of flagella, swarm cells often produce wetting agent, usually a surface of some type, for instance, the surface in Serrtia (serrwettins) and Bacillus (surfcatin) (White, 2006). In both cases loss of surfactant dramatically decreases swearing proficiency in Bacillus as well as strains of E. Coli do not make surfactants, which is probably why they are such picky swimmers. Surfactants act mainly to maintain surface wetness, which in turn allows cells to swim in every shallow layer of fluid on the surface.
Research findings indicate that ...

As far as equality goes, there are no rules by which a person can be judged to be inferior to another person. There are differences, but these differences do not constitute a valid basis for discrimination, which is often the case with racism and sexism. As Singer argues, equality is a moral ideal rather than an assertion of a fact. The principle of equality is based on the fact that there are no moral differences between living beings.
Singer exposes the way in which animals are being used in order to satisfy human taste in food by saying that ...

Each nation has own myth about world’s creation and team of gods, spirits or other powers that control it. Some of them can sound really weird. For example, Scandinavian myths say the world was created from the body of a dead giant. More common mythologies have show less bloody ideas with own features. They depend not only up the culture and country, but up the author. This essay will compare Greek and Roman poet’s Hesiod and Ovid points of view. These cultures had similar pantheons of Gods, which differed mostly by names, like Venus and Aphrodite. However, ...

Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White, Hana’s Suitcase by K. Levine, Why Me? By L. Allen and The Paper Bag Princess by R. Munsch present a wide range of conflicts and themes that are aimed at teaching children something about the world that surrounds them. All of the books are under the great influence of the ideology of the times they were written, so it is easy to spot different attitudes towards the same question, as for example, the classic emotional and empathic women in Charlotte’s Web and strong and brave Elizabeth in The Paper Bag Princess. ...

A short story “Everyday Use” was written by an outstanding American poetess, writer, political activist and a feminist Alice Walker. The writer pays close attention to the problem of deracination and national identity of people.

It has to be noted that nowadays, in the era of multiculturalism, people do not pay such a close attention to their cultural identity and do not try to make other people accept it, because they are respectful of one’s uniqueness, ...

Needless to say that having a phobia is normal for every sane person, as everybody with a healthy mind is afraid of something.

Three types of examples from the genres of world literature are integral to the strength of investigating the works of different periods and cultures. Different eras represented sweeping views of war, the sacred, the secular, and expressions of stories that culminated in philosophical lessons or important pieces in historical sagas. This essay develops a critique based upon the prompt which looks at the literary works of: (a) Homer’s “The Iliad”, (b) Dante Alighieri’s “The Divine Comedy – Inferno”, and (c) Elphinstone Dayrell’s “Nigerian Folk Stories”. The richly contrasting nuances of the literary comparisons provide a marvelous rubric and background from which ...

Children are most delicate and vulnerable to the legacies of racism and sexism, they will often find their life opportunities limited or destroyed if the racist oppression internalized within families and communities continues unabated. Black women are mostly represented as unattractive, uneducated, and their inherent value as human beings faces constant attacks from a Eurocentric ideal of beauty that doubly oppresses black men and women. In most cases, the children are not protected from the realities of their environment, and their parents are, in fact, a direct cause of the traumas they experience. The young women are exposed to physical, emotional ...

The Basel Convention defines 'wastes' as substances or objects that need to be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of national law. European Waste Catalogue shows 850 types of wastes out of which 420 types of wastes have been classified as hazardous waste. Hazardous wastes are those wastes considered to be ...

Using every context and all available information in their own interest, the tricksters are represented in the African American culture by small animals that make their way through stories by tricking people, getting out of difficult situations by outsmarting their much bigger opponents (Harris, “The Trickster”). In Folktales, tricksters act as fable or legendary figures that tell a story about society, about humans’ characters, personifying people, while portraying a caricatured, but vivid image of social Moravians (Rutledge 64).
The tricksters are central figures of the African American literature, exhibiting various characteristics that can be depicted in human behavior, such as ...
