Human Qualities Of Animals And Turner's

As humans, there are many aspects that separate and distinguish us from other animals. However, I believe the most valuable distinction is our ability to create meaningful relationships. Whether these relationships are friendships, marriages or any other union of two people, this connection is the basis of our humanity. Through relationships were able to share knowledge, discuss ideas, and better ourselves through the enlightenment of others.

Human beings are considered to be the greatest creations that were given knowledge, skills and power to rule over the entire planet. However, at the same time, their relationship with other animals and its implications in human civilization cannot be denied. Historically, it is proven that for thousands of years, human beings have developed close contact with animals who were their means of living and at the same time often, great companions. Considering the great significance of animals in the lives of human beings, often their relationships were portrayed in literature by authors. It was meant to help the global community to have a clear understanding of the impact that animals have in the lives of human beings which is very much significant.

In the book “Through a Window” by Jane Goodall, Goodall tells the reader about her experience when studying chimpanzees in Gombe for thirty years. Goodall explains how chimpanzees and humans are very much alike, not only in DNA structure but also in social behavior, intelligent ability, and emotions. Goodall talks about these similarities throughout the book. Chimpanzees can use tools, have social organization, have a way to communicate, a similar diet, and locomotion all of which show how humans and chimpanzees are more closely related then what was originally thought.

There are arguments made that would support the eating or medical testing of animals, but there are also other arguments that do not support eating or medical testing of animals. When a person views these arguments using a virtue ethics position, the result would have to be in accordance with the view that the right actions are produced by the virtuous characteristic. The question asked is what would the moral status of animals be according to a virtue ethicist’s perspective; and if virtuous ethics is can be applied to the animal’s moral status? There are two types of moral statuses, a moral agent and moral patient: A moral agent is an individual whose actions can be established by moral reasons; a moral patient is an individual who needs

Jane Goodall, is a British primatologist, ethologist, and anthropologist, and is also known as one of the world's most prominent expert on chimpanzees. Goodall has conducted many studies throughout the duration of her life. Onee of her most famous studies would have to be her 55-year investigation of social interactions of chimps in Tanzania. She has shown the many similarities and differences that chimps share with humans, and has reaated an inference that humans and chimps are actually very alike to one another in the many ways that they act. Goodall explains her position in her TED Talk, which is titled "What Seperates Us from Chimpanzees?". After watching this video and carefully examining the facts that she presented, I have come to my

Animals and human beings come into contact with each other in the different environment across the world. This has been fostered by human settlement in most regions that were delegated for animals. Whenever there is a contact between human and animals, there is a chance for the development of a relationship. Although human beings are familiar with the interaction of companion animals like cats, human-animal interaction also occurs in the context of farms, laboratories and in the wilderness (Davis, Schaffner, Smith 2005). Repeated relationship can lead to developing long term friendly relationship between animals and human beings involved. Various studies have been developed in an attempt of developing the most critical and rational measures that can be utilized to enhance and develop a human-animal relationship (Campbell, Shideler, Todd, Lasley 2001). These research studies have in majority concentrated on domesticated species. This research paper is developed to critically analyze the human- primate relationship. The study critically is developed to show how human beings can conserve primate as valuable species.

In Peter Singer’s essay, “Equality for Animals”, he argues that the principle of equal consideration of interests can extend beyond just the interests of human beings. He starts out saying just because there is oppression within our own species, does not mean that our attitude against animals should be taken less seriously. Going into several topics Singer tries to convey that we may have the wrong idea about 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,

What? You don't know animals have special relationships with others? Cats and dogs are an example of two animals that have a special relationship with each other. I have always thought that different animals like that would not get alone. Some relationships between animals are very unusual. Two really unusual relationships is the hermit crab and the sea anemone. Both of them help each other out. The hermit crab uses its pincers to bother the sea anemone and then the anemone gets on the crabs back and while the crab is carrying the anemone and the anemone is protecting the crab from other sea animals. While the anemone is on the crabs back the anemone is getting free food. It is proven that animals have special relationships. Animals do have special relationships. Kittens and dogs have a great relationship. A dog that just had puppies might care for a litter of new kittens.

Humans and wildlife are not always able to get along. It is difficult to communicate with each other, so we do not know what each other is thinking. However, a bond between a whale and human shows that humans and wildlife can sometimes get along. James Moskito is a professional diver. In December 2005, he discovered a whale that was in trouble. The whale was trapped inside of a net that was held down by a 3,000 pound anchor.

On Earth years ago, wolves were a daily struggle for our ancestors. During the Ice Age, it was a harsh time for the humans and dogs so, they made a beautiful friendship. When humans made that friendship between dogs, scientists teamed up and stared learning

Interestingly, animals and human depend substantially on each other. Domesticated animals, such as those in a livestock, provide us meals, fiber and leather. In addition, domesticated animals, such as dogs - which are also used to guard houses, and others farm animals- and cats give us company.

Do all animals get along? That’s the question, but two stories are opposites and share some things in common, they are animals. Some attack each other, some share a beautiful connection.

First, animals are very closely related to humans. Mice and chimpanzees are the closest to humans. Mice are 98% and chimpanzees are 99% similar. Next, it

Human beings have always looked for similarities between themselves and other people as to gain common ground. However people also attempt to make connections between themselves and the more primal parts of nature. Animals have been along side people for centuries and them being by our side we’ve assigned them certain traits and meanings as an attempt to connect with them on a deeper level. The Egyptians treated felines as almost gods in their culture because, after domestication, they killed vermin which helped crops grow. That praise evolved into worship, and gave felines new meaning among human beings. In many ways humans change animals to suit their purposes in literature and as to allow us to more finely tune our imagination to the lives of animals. Human beings don’t have any idea what it’s like anymore to be one with their natural surroundings which is why we focus so intently on relating to the lives of animals.
