Essays on Zoo

Tourism comes in many different shapes and sizes. Tourism can be international or national; it can even be relatively close to one’s home, as tourism is not defined by how far an individual goes, but by the fact that he or she has traveled and the types of activities that he or she participates in while gone from home (Wurzburguer , Pattakos & Pratt, 2008). Tourism can be measured a number of different ways using a number of different metrics; however, from a practical standpoint, tourism is generally understood as being domestic tourism, inbound international tourism, or outbound international tourism ( ...

“Words/Meanings” from the Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer:

Foer’s article raised many interesting points. It is laid out rather like a dictionary, with a list of words followed by the author’s definitions and feelings around them. Some words were closely related to the topic of eating animals, for example, “Broiler Chickens,” and some more ambiguous, for example, “Desperation.” One of the most interesting words and meanings for me was “Suffering.” Foer discusses possible meanings behind this word and whether it is possible for someone to argue that animals don’t suffer. Suffering is a difficult term to define and to measure. The question becomes even ...

On the one hand some of the animals look exactly into the camera lens and it seems as if they know how to pose for nice photos. On the other hand some of the animals do not look into the camera at all or even show their backs. It gives the impression that animals do not like additional attention and to be in the zoo at all. As if they are too tired of their everyday activities. To my mind some of the photos show that some of the animals have to little place for them in the zoo. ...

There is always a small gap between the freedom the animals will have in the wild and the freedom in a confined space. Freedom in a zoo. The reaction of the wild animals as they are moved from one place to another cannot be assumed to be okay since the animals will need to adapt to the new environment. Although there is a need for the protection of the animals from poaching, destruction of their habitat, the zoo does not offer the best environment for the wild animals. Why should an animal that is used to roaming freely around ...

Abstract

System theory forms the basis for the Systems-Theoretic Accident Model and Processes (STAMP) (Leveson 2011), and other Accident Causation Models, such as the Accident Causation Management System discussed in Kwon et al. 2006, and the Construction Accident Causation Model discussed in Mitropoulos et al. 2005. These models are compared and contrasted especially with respect to how human behavior is accounted for in each. In addition, a case study is discussed using the STAMP method to demonstrate the basic principles of STAMP. Due to a recent accident and much discussion ...

I visited the zoo last month, on a windy afternoon. It was an absolutely fantastic day, amongst different faunae, and a supremely knowledgeable experience. The long hours spent on studying the animals has been absolutely worth it, and the four animals that I chose to write this essay on are the Lion, the Giraffe, the Crocodile, and the Ostrich. The Lion, or the Panthera Leo, usuallya lives in groups called prides. One pride may consist of 15 to 50 lions. The pact that a pride has is to hunt for food, raise cubs, as well as fight against any ...

On Wednesday, May 11, 2016, I visited Los Angeles Zoo & Botanical Gardens in Los Angeles. I have always been dreaming of visiting it, and this spring my dreams finally came true. My parents presented me with the Zoo Membership, as they knew my dreams and desires. I was delighted to receive such a nice present, as I am interested in Biology and want to become a famous biologist once. Thus, I like everything connected with the nature and the environment. Los Angeles Zoo & Botanical Gardens is a perfect place for those who like walking and admiring the world. Frankly ...

Introduction

There is always a question as to how to encourage students to listen, pay attention, and interact within the classroom environment. Too often it is seen that those who excel by choice are at the forefront of the classroom while those who are either not as adept at the given subject or are less interested fade into the background. Professor Dylan Williams and his ideas on how to better engage the entire classroom are both innovative and simplistic enough that students of all skill levels can participate and feel relatively equal. To teach effective equality within the classroom it ...

Although I had had several holidays in Western cities like London, Paris, New York and Berlin, I had never got any opportunity to visit a city in the Eastern Hemisphere. I had always been enthusiastic to have fabulous time in major cities of the world in the Eastern Hemisphere like Tokyo. I felt most enthusiastic about Tokyo because it is considered the capital of the Eastern Hemisphere. Tokyo is one of Japan’s 47 prefectures, and it functions as both the largest city and the capital of Japan. During the last summer, I decided to have an 11 day ...

All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

– Leo Tolstoy in Anna Karenina Introduction Communication is the key to maintaining and sustaining relationships. The aim of communication is to work towards achieving certain goals.

Introduction

Even though the concept of evolution is a typical narrative, it remains one of the most highly contentious of the topics. Major disagreements persist in the field, particularly when the evolutionary origin and physical modification of primates are the subject matter of discussion. Because of these differences, lots of significant finds in the field have attracted considerable amounts of opposition from experts depending on the species, or the side angle of evolution one recognizes (Ravosa and Dagosto). Disputes often center around locomotion and posture – whether a particular species was fully upright or could walk bipedally, brain size (intelligence), sexuality ...

Kurt Vonnegut was a prolific American author, who wrote the novel “Slaughterhouse Five” (1969). The novel is one of the arguments against war that exists even today. The reason for this is because the novel deals with the effects of war on a person when they return home. This is because for many people it is hard to truly leave the battlefield behind due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. As PSTD was not a recognizable diagnosis at the time of Vonnegut’s writing, he used Billy’s inability to connect with reality as a representation of the potential effect ...

My heart was all smiles; the radiance on my face spoke loudly with delight. Jane had just outshone her peers in the summer choral contest, and I was sitting on top of the world. I had counseled my daughter enough, spent a fortune in time and dime for her rehearsals and here we both were at the Great-Lake zoo pavilion gazing at the beauty of mother-nature with some of her children. The pink, the yellow, the purple, the red and the white petals took their fair share of display at the contest stage of beauty. The petals ears gave ...

Zoos are created to keep animals for study purposes and to protect endangered species. However, it is observed that earning money has become sole purpose of zoo owners. Zoos take all steps to attract public and to increase their revenues without considering safety, comfort and physical and mental health of animals. Advocates of zoos claim that zoos should not be removed because it allows people to understand and study animals. Opponents of zoos claim that zoos should be banned because zoos are not animals’ natural homes and captivity upsets animals physically as well as mentally. This paper discusses that ...

Chapter 1 – Original Post

I agree with the core challenges highlighted for a non-profit organization but I would like to argue that the other two critical challenges in a non-profit organization include the misuse of organizational funds and the exploitation of non-profit organizational platform increasingly for personal benefits such as networking and tax evasion in developing countries. The eight challenges could be applied universally but the two abovementioned challenges should also be taken into consideration. The corrupt government officials allow entrepreneurs to use a registered non-profit channel for certain business interests such as image building, networking with experts, tax evasions and others.

Introduction

It is known that high population density could increase the risk of infectious diseases as well as non-infectious diseases. Crowding is also associated to higher crime rates, social disorganization and higher mortality rate according to several empirical studies (Altman, 1981). Another element which is related to high population density is noise. Crowding and noise could affect individuals in a variety of ways. The behavior of individuals could also be affected by crowding and noise especially when their territoriality, privacy and personal space are disturbed. People tend to become aggressive and frustrated when their territoriality, privacy and personal space are affected. ...
