Essays on Zoos

Diversity in the natural setting has made people move from one place to another in search for the missing link. A geographical setting cannot have everything at the same location and time. Tourists move from one place to another in order to see what they do not have in their scenery. On one occasion, as I visited the Zoo, I noticed this young man with light skin. His style of dressing was something I had not seen in America for a long time. When I approached him, he gave me his name as Kevin Okafor from Nigeria. I had to ...

In every organization, whether private or public, managers would often encounter problems. These problems and challenges act as a barrier to effective management in the public sector. They impede the quality of service delivery and quality of work life in government. The barriers are aligned to issues such as resources, task organization, technology, priorities, and personnel. Such problems do arise in the areas of authority. This implies that solutions to such challenges are more or less within the powers of the managers. In public organizations, the extent of their independence is low compared to the private organizations . Therefore, public organizations ...

Background of the study

The vast lowland forests of central Africa host the western lowland gorilla, which is scientifically referred to as the ‘gorilla gorilla gorilla.’ This is the most widespread and common of the four distinct subspecies of gorillas.

2. Relationship between storytelling and religion in Life of Pi With one voice, logicians and researchers through scholarly history have avowed the key relationships that exist between storytelling and religion. Basing on the relationship exuded between storytelling and religion, Martel wants the readers to emancipate the Life of Pi through a contemptuous perspective, whereby they can decide to have faith in it at the desired rate, almost as one can choose to trust in God because it is a common stance in the society (thesis). The young man, Patel, grasps this motivation in different sectors. He turns into a devotee of ...

Zoos are an important and highly valued cultural institution of the civilized world; the 10,000 zoos found around the world are often claimed to be responsible for many of the conditions by which we learn about wildlife, ecology and a number of other attributes (Paskesen, 2014). To that end, the idea of releasing animals from zoos would change a fundamental aspect of our civilization, particularly regarding the welfare of animals. However, given more recent, modern concerns about the welfare of animals, and the reevaluation about the utility and benefits of zoos as a sanctuary for endangered species, it may be necessary ...

The practice of holding animals in captivity (particularly in zoo contexts) is barbaric, and should be prohibited as a practice. The proposed research paper will utilize an ethical argument to advocate against the keeping of animals in captivity. The primary goal of the research paper will be to argue for this belief, not as a call to take specific action against it. This argument falls into the category of an ethical argument as it is mostly based around the importance of the welfare of defenseless creatures against a far superior and controlling force (i.e. humanity). Therefore, the main conceptual core of ...

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 ...

Science has advanced so much that scientists are now bring extinct animals back to life- they call it de-extinction . De-extinction is done by two methods- cloning and selective breeding. Cloning is a process in which the DNA of an organism that is desired to be cloned is taken out and infused in the cell of another existing organism belonging to the same class. When fertilization takes place in the existing organism, it is able to produce an off-spring that looks exactly like the organism which was desired to be cloned. Selective breeding is the method in which DNA from teeth ...

An important fact that has been highlighted in Yann Martel Life of Pi is that both fiction and religion seem to loathe disbelief. When he claims that he has a story “that will make you believe in God” (Martel) he not only assumes that many of his readers do not believe in God, his story actually depends on that disbelief. Martel more explicitly analogizes this disbelief of the readers when he portrays the two Japanese interviewers being skeptical about the fact that Pi survived living in a lifeboat for 227 days with a tiger. The novel suspends disbelief by presenting the dramatic ...

People have a unique quality of destroying everything that is precious to them. The most precious things that they have are nature and inimitable species that inhabit it. Unlike animals people are used to killing not only for purposes of nourishment, but also for the sake of entertainment. If not killed, animals get caught only for them to be placed in cramped cages well beyond their natural habitat. Thousands of species end up being exterminated for jewelry, souvenirs or being kept in captivity for life in places, such as amusement and theme parks, private and public zoos. Human authoritarian regime ...

Introduction

Intellectuals spent a considerable period of time during the 20th century discussing skeptical arguments which claim that it is impossible to have knowledge of the existing world. These arguments stem from theories of Descartes and have been the basis of heated discourses on the subject of the external world. The skeptics to the notion of the external world have claimed that their premises on the subject are intuitively obvious. However, they have not offered empirical evidence to underpin their intuition. Some authors contend that the intuitions underpinning their skeptical arguments are universal (widely shared) for those who think critically about ...

As of this moment, animals’ being kept in captivity is a habitual practice for most world countries. The state of affairs in wild nature is such that humanity has already come as near as could be to almost completely exterminating separate species, with natural habitats being either fragmented or destroyed in the aftermath of human encroachment. In order for rare wild animals that are on the point of becoming extinct to be saved they are placed in sanctuaries, zoos, and theme parks where they are put on display.

1. “I know zoos are no longer freedom plague them both” (Martel 21). Apparently, the above quote reflects how closely relatable the subjects of zoology and religion are, at least in Pi’s mind. He compares zoo animals to people of faith and the animals in the wild to people who have no faith. In both cases, the animals and the people with no religious system of belief are considered “free,” but according to Pi that freedom is nothing an illusion because of which zoos and religion have gotten a bad name. The truth is that animals in the ...

The ever-rising debate about animal rights and the relationship between wild species and human beings has gained yet another converging point with the documentary “One Lucky Elephant.” Director Lisa Leeman chose for her film a less common approach on the subject that ultimately enables the viewer to see the entitling pachyderm not as just another overdramatized anthropomorphic being but rather as the captivated wild beast that it really is. This added to the emotional nature of the tale itself raise a series of questions about the discussion that are worth considering. But first it is imperative to make a brief analysis of ...

The moral permissibility of zoos turns on two major issues, utilitarian issues and animal rights issues. Those who concur with the animal rights issues hold that the assessment of a zoo should be done with considerations of how the animals are being treated, better still their rights. It also turns on the second issue that is the utilitarian grounds. From this perspective, the interests of the animals in the zoo must factor in when carrying out an assessment of a zoo. These particular interests include the interests of the animals in terms of freedom of movement as well as adequate and ...
