Animal Roleplay

Human nature in animals. Was this really shown in George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’? In fact, there were several messages about human nature reflected in ’Animal Farm’. The messages that were expressed through many different characters and their behaviours, gave an insight into human nature, and showed many characteristics of it.

Throughout the book the cat was used as a way to portray Zeena when she was not home. While Zeena was away at the doctors, Mattie and Ethan got some alone time for once but, the cat got in the way and acted as if Zeena was there. During dinner instead of Mattie and Ethan sitting next to each other

Animals behave in response to their environments just like humans. Behavior can be simply broken down into emotions, thoughts, and psychological responses. These fall under three categories: reflexes, instincts and learned behaviors, which all have a role in helping us to survive in this world. A reflex is an involuntary reaction to stimuli. Our reflexes are controlled by our nervous system. When we go to the doctor for a checkup and the doctor uses an object similar to a hammer and taps its on your knee, he is checking your reflexes. Reflexes are usually fast responses to something such as resting your hand on a hot stove and then lifting it quickly because you did not realize it was on. Instincts are natural behavioral patterns prompted by

Why are humans so attracted to cats? Cats like dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years, adapting to humans and being part of our everyday lives. In many civilizations cats have even been negated as divine. In ancient Egypt for example they were worshipped like gods and deemed holy. The position of cats in society varies on the civilization and the time period, but they nonetheless exist next to humans to some extent. This bond is unique because cats are independent, and are individualistic creatures. More than dogs, cow's, sheep’s, or any other domesticated animal cats are the closest to being equal independent companions. There is a unique bond between cats and humans that does not exist between any other animal and our history together is one of compatriots rather than dominance.

Felis Catus, or cats, have many abilities. One of the abilities I learned was that they have strong, flexible bodies. Cats can leap from tall places. Another thing I learned was that they have fast reflexes. It helps them hunt. Speaking of hunting, another thing I learned was that cats can see in the dark, so if they are hunting in dark places or if they are hunting at night, they would still be able to see. The last thing I learned was that cats are eligable to hear high pitched sounds that we cannot hear. Pretty cool right?

The Fall One Acts Performance that I watched on Saturday, November 14th, 2015 at 7:30 PM was magnificently performed, and the actors’ and actresses’ hard work was definitely carried out in this production. The two act plays that moved me the most were Livestock by Catherine Trieschmann and Till Death by Claudia Barnett because Ruby and Josh in Livestock were very comical and made me laugh many times, while the sentimental and intimate bond between Julian and Felicity in Till Death appealed to my emotions.

Natalie Angier, discusses that we spend a lot of money on cats; yet cats are wild at heart. Peter P. Marra and Chris Santella authors of Cat Wars, view cats as “cuddly killers.” Cats are viewed as invasive species as a contamination to the environment. Outdoor cats are a threat to wildlife as predators. Also cats are a danger to human health from different types of illnesses. The Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), view cats as human alternative to euthanizing strays.

The authors, concerns in the report is the well-being and what the animals are excepted to do. Their purpose is to explore the unitization of service dogs in rehabilitation and precisely the ethical issues that pertinent to a service dog. The authors emphases on the primary ethical issues with service animals which are the tension between them to achieve the handlers goal example, keeping owners safe as their eyes and ears. Further, Wenthold and Savage made a statement that dogs’ temperament and response to situation belied the dog’s choice. I will use the point in my project to defend the reason why dogs sometimes bark in public places. The authors produce an important argument about who represent and advocate for service animal’s (dog) interest;

In the spring of 2011, students, professors, and community members met at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario for the 10th Annual North American Conference for Critical Animal Studies (CAS). The conference, “Thinking About Animals,” was co-hosted between the Institute for Critical Animal Studies (ICAS) and Brock’s Department of Sociology. Conference participants covered a wide array of topics through panels and presentations that discussed the links between human and animal oppression/liberation, gender and meat consumption, postcolonial studies, animal liberation theory, abolitionist history, social attitudes and prejudice, veganism, and activist repression. There were also those which focused entirely on vivisection, farmed animals,

Recently, there has been opposing arguments regarding the personhood of animals. An interview at the Southern Midland University conducted by Dr. Sophia reviled three different views from Dr. Adora, Mrs. Royal, and Dr. Busch regarding the topic of nonhuman personhood. Dr. Zoe Adora, an animal rights lawyer and non-practicing veterinarian states how animals in particular, chimpanzees should have the same rights as a human and should be granted personhood. On the other note, Mrs. Royal, an attorney that represents for a not-for-profit consortium of pharmaceutical companies, claims that giving animals personhood is not necessary and would cause many problems in society. The last opposing side was from Dr. Busch, an attending veterinarian,

In dreams, humans fell fear, sorrow, rage, joy, and lust. In chapter 4 of,” The Storytelling Animal” Jonathan Gottschall, tries to persuade the audience that dream are night stories that focus on a protagonist, most likely the dreamer, who practices dealing with dilemmas or who struggles to achieve their desires. Gottschall’s use of extrinsic proof such as data and testimonies from community and proximate authorities are useful and help Gottschall persuade the audience of his thesis. Although Gotschall’s use of extrinsic proof is very helpful there are some places where his proof is lacking.

The idea of social construction, to put it simply, is that our society creates norms to categorize people. The norms created usually coincide with the time period in which they were made, however, the expectations of society change over time. For example, fifty years ago people were still being shunned for interracial relationships, however, in current times, it’s not that big of a deal. Constructing norms has had a very prosperous run in society, ideals that were created years and years ago are still being held as fact today; specifically, those regarding gender. If we use animals as a comparison, we can realize that sexuality and gender in humans is a socially constructed idea that is used to put people into categories to fit the ideals of

There are stages a queen goes through before she reproduces called gestation period. During the first stage, the queen will try to attract a tom cat to her, and she will stay in the area she met the tom cat. The next stage a cat will find a tom to mate with, but she won’t accept him because she is not ready yet. Cats will enter the heat, and she will be ready to mate with the tom. The queen will start meowing much louder and a lot more than

So in order for cats to survive out in the wild, they need to have ways to keep themselves safe from predators. When cats are being attacked by predators, or they feel threatened in any way, they will arc their back and fold their ears. They will also let out a high pitched yowl called a hiss. Cats do this to stand up to their predator, and let them know that they will fight them if they come close. Cats also have a lens in the very back of their eyes which makes it so that when it is dark out, the lens reflects light off of it, making everything around them light up to them. This can be very useful when it is dark out and an owl is hunting. Cats can see the owl coming and hide away. Cats also have very large ears that can hear 3x better than a human can. Cats ears can also rotate, around almost 360 degrees which can help them pinpoint where the, say coyote, is and run away in the right direction, or prepare for an attack with their sharp
