Animal Science Personal Statement

I am currently a Junior Animal Science Major, with a specialization in food animal production and a minor in Agricultural and Natural Resource Law. Although I am an Animal Science student, I am very interested in the food industry and I am considering a career in it; possibly as a quality assurance technician or as an inspector within the meat industry. I became interested in the food industry after taking a Meat Processing class as an elective and afterwards also taking Meats, a class required by

whether creeping or crawling. This statement translated from Christian teachings in the Bible. However, what makes a person believe that souls solely belong to humanity? The idea of that statement seems rather faulty. According to Merriam-Webster, a soul is “the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal.” Since animals and humans both have a soul, shouldn’t we be equals? Although scientists argue that animals can’t self-reflect, animals should be our equals because they

(Charles). Within this debate there have been two main sub-debates: which one is the truth and which one should be taught in public science classes. Over billions of years, Evolution is the theory that explains how the first cells evolved into all of the different species on this plant. This happened gradually, over billions of years, and should be taught in public science classes rather than Creationism. Evolution explains how the first

or is it something more spiritual in nature? Perhaps it has several different meanings, depending on one’s own personal perception and experiences. My own perception is that “love” in itself is an essence that almost all life on Earth harbors, and it is also something that all life has the capability of expressing. Although, the above statement may be too much of an optimistic statement, for the reason that there are individuals in this world who seem completely devoid of love, empathy, and compassion

Unfortunately, there is no proof for the alleged Creator. It is important, however, to acknowledge that Science has not disproved God either. Science has further discounted the Church’s teaching that Adam and Eve existed with artifacts of animals, many of which have human characteristics, existing thousands of years before the appearance of the human form society knows today. Science has discovered that humans share approximately ninety seven percent of the same DNA with chimpanzees, and that

soul.” Duncan MacDougall also tested this within animals and found similar results which confirmed the notion that living beings contained souls which left after death. The key aspect that was wrong with the experiment and MacDougall’s conclusion is due to the notion physiological factors and not due to the soul leaving the body. Though these physiological factors could not necessarily be proven back in 1901, but now with modern medicine and science such as CT and MRI scans these physiological factor

The Immorality of Abortion Religion, personal rights, or science normally fuels the debate on abortion. However abortion can be looked at philosophically and debated whether it is moral or immoral. In this paper I will argue that abortion is immoral because it deprives the zygote from any future life. In The Journal of Philosophy, Don Marquis argues in his essay, “Why Abortion is Immoral” that abortion is wrong because it deprives the fetus of a ‘future like ours’

of the desire to do God’s will”. These moralities suggested, define ways the world views the options given or taught to them in life. Further into the presentation, they state that “moralities lie within biology, not only human but all animals. [Implying that] animals have three basic instincts [such as] kin selection, attachment to mate, and sympathy; morality helps us survive and thrive”. In this case, they 're not only voicing

developed overall civilized societies, and have abandoned savagery. We are able to communicate through both written and verbal languages, and today can do that with each other clear across the world through the touch of a button. We have created complex science and technology, which the greater population use in their daily lives. All while advancing, we have moved further away from our natural world. With our advancements we have been faced with many challenges of what is ethical. We intervene with the

and who is involved with creating it? Well, if you know the sources and ingredients of most hygiene products on today’s market, you may be aware that animal testing is the method used to create the product. Animal testing started back in the year of 1966, which was passed by the federal Animal Welfare Act, the method involves testing cosmetics on animals to determine the safety and possibility of allergic reactions caused by products that humans use. Jeremy Bentham once said “ The question is not, can
