Many people challenge the rules for several different reasons. It’s always appropriate to challenge the rules when the rules are unfair, or against what you think is right. You can challenge the rules to make them fair and equal for everyone. Just how the two excerpts, Animal Farm by George Orwell, and Texas vs. Johnson, by the U.S. Supreme Court.

You can change the rules for a good reason, or a bad one, but it’s always better to challenge the rules in order to make them more equal.
Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” The social issue of animal rights first arose in the 1970s; since then the animal rights movement has gained momentum and a considerable amount of followers “Animal Rights.” Organizations like PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) hold demonstrations and protests in the streets and outside businesses to denounce the maltreatment of animals. There are two sides on this issue, those who believe that the life of an animal is inferior to that of a human’s and those who deem that animals deserve to have a life free of human interruption “What Are Animal Rights.” Without animal rights, our society can be deemed unfettered by empathy and restrained by immoral values.

In the Animal Farm debate I was tasked with coming up with an opening statement as to why the revolution against Jones was worth it. I had to give a brief overview of what we were going to be discussion as a group without getting into the details too much.
Can you imagine being forcefully impregnated and having your children ripped from you hours after birth? Can you imagine being stuck in a dark cage without enough room to turn your body around for your whole life? Can you imagine being forcefully fed so much that you can’t support your grotesque weight on your own two legs? For billions of animals this is a reality which they will have to endure their whole lives because they are living in a factory farms. In the entire world, around two in every three farm animals are captive to this cruel and inhumane industry. That means that only a third of animals are like those happy cows grazing in the field like you see in milk adverts. This number will definitely increase as developing countries try to “modernise” their animal farming approach to maximise profit. Cruelty isn’t even the only dreadful factor about them factory farms are one of the biggest producers of pollutants in the world. They are one of the biggest problems of the 21st century but everyone is happy to turn a blind eye as long they don’t judged for stuffing their face with meat and washing it down with milk not meant for human consumption. We need to cut down on our devouring of animal products before it devours Earth.

Literary analysis of Animal Farm The rebellion was to escape from people and their cruel ways, but can they escape the death-grip of their own kind? The animals of animal farms are mistreated and have no rights. Mr and Mrs. Jones were the owners of Manor Farm, the human oppressors, and authoritarians of the animals. The animals rebel against the Jones and take over the farm. They create a utopian society for themselves, but the utopia quickly turns into a dystopia when the pigs take control of the farm. In many ways, Animal Farm is a complete allegorical / fable –like retelling of the founding of the Soviet Union, complete with a rebellion and eventual installation of a dictator. Like the ideological battle that was raged in Russia between the classes, the one that is played out in this novel have many of the same themes, including an initial push to strengthen the working class, a strong beginning movement of nationalism and unity, a series of successful efforts to topple the ruling authority (Mr. Jones), all followed by a complete totalitarian takeover by a dictator who is a hypocrite and goes back on many of the promises he made at the height of the revolutionary action.
