Essays on Cows

In simple words, the tragedy of commons could be described as individuals working for self-interest and ignoring the needs of society. For example, there is a meadow that is utilized by the farmers of the countryside. The meadow can serve 20 cows in any season. If a farmer increases his number of cows from 2 to 10, this will put negative effect on other 18 cows as their resources will be over utilized. The farmer being aware of this situation does not think about the well being of all the farmers or cows, but only protects his personal interest. Continue reading...

Food Inc. is an insightful film about the American food industry and how this food is produced for the consumers. American food is produced by very large multinational companies in ways that are unconventional to say the least. The exact mechanics behind the production of this food is deliberately kept from the public perhaps in an attempt to avoid public protest that would result from knowledge of the truth. Contrary to the norm, the American food system has shifted from a farm base to a production line base. This means that the normal ways of growing food on farms Continue reading...

A cow has always been viewed as a sacred animal in the Hindu culture. While other animals are confined and used for other commercial purposes, cows are left to roam freely in India without the threat of being harmed. Every day, they are worshiped and even fed with human food.

However, the physical cow has always been considered as a god that is respected by all Continue reading...

The film is a great expose about the story behind the supermarket foods. It educates the viewers about the misconception and sometimes deception being employed by the supermarket giants.

Breed-specific legislation is the restriction of and legislation regarding certain breeds of dog, often dogs that are considered violent, dangerous, or erratic in their behaviors (Collier, 2006).

However, research has shown repeatedly that this is not the case; breed-specific legislation and controls on the breeding of dogs (excluding dog-wild canine hybrids)is nothing more than a reactionary response to perceived social ills that have Continue reading...

Introduction

In the year 2005, a total of 32.49 million cows were slaughtered and the products supplied for consumption to the United States residents.

This has led them to believing that the cow was given to them by the gods, and on that basis they are true and dear to the cow.

It started with the bullfighting. I had never been a fan of the sport itself; indeed, I had never really considered it; but there I was, in Valencia, watching the matadors wave their flags at the heads of the bulls.

There is so much to say about bullfighting. There is a rich history of bullfighting in Spain and Portugal, but everyone seems to have an opinion Continue reading...

Indian Boarding Schools

After the effective defeat of the Indians and their subjugation in the name of manifest destiny, American reformers (including The Friends of the Indian) sought to “Americanize” Native Americans by refocusing land ownership through allotment of private property as opposed to attributing lands to tribes. Furthermore, boarding schools were created that would re-educate Native Americans in the ways of white, Christian, American life, leading them to abandon their traditional Indian identity in favor of becoming fully assimilated into the US citizenry.
Despite these ostensibly good intentions, however, there were several critics of these boarding schools, who would argue that Continue reading...

The second approach looks at the poem in an angle of the author’s sentiments. In this paper I will review three poems; Mountain Boomer, Bodacious and Firetread The Last.

In archeology, DNA analysis has been used as an investigatory tool since it became available to scientists. DNA analysis, which is a constantly developing and expanding field, has allowed archaeologists to precisely and decisively obtain results that solve archaeological, historical, and evolutionary questions. Unfortunately, the methods for using ancient DNA analysis tend to destroy the samples from which the DNA is extracted. The results can easily be affected by external contamination as well, which requires the research to be conducted within specialized laboratories by trained laboratory personnel (Arandjelovic, Guschanski, Schubert, Harris, Thalmann, Siedel, & Vigilant, 2009).
DNA analysis has been Continue reading...
