Impromptu Topics

1) When dealing with a stubborn audience, you need to appeal to their opinions before you appeal to your own

Most individuals would be saddened knowing that animals were being harshly experimented on for human benefits. The testing of animals is deemed to be cruel and inhumane. However animal testing has saved thousands of humans lives. Some believe the sacrifice is worth the gains, but others disagree and suggest other testing methods. Ultimately, the question that arises on many different occasions, is if animals should be experimented on, or not.

Animals should not be used for scientific experiments. According to ‘Should Animals Be Used for Scientific or Commercial Testing?’ Animals are so different from human beings that research

Have you ever wondered why animals are used in experimentation? Each year over 100 million are killed due to experiments for biology lessons, medical training, chemical, drug, food, cosmetic testing, and curiosity driven experimentation. The better question is why? Why use animal when there are many alternatives. Animals may not be able to speak up for themselves but humans have a voice for them. Many people have participated in protest, taken surveys, and created organizations to protect animals from the cruelty.

Is there a topic that we did not cover that you would like to hear about?

Animal experimentation has become very a controversial topic in the United States of America today. In many countries it is still legal to poison, blind, and kill animals for cosmetic uses. While many of the experiments conducted on animals today is required by law, most of it is not. In fact, many countries have placed bans on the testing of certain products on animals. Thousands of animals every day are euthanized owed to animal testing. Due to of the care that animals are enduring, people debate whether animal testing should be implemented at all. Some people believe that animal testing is beneficial in many ways. The people that see animal testing as beneficial say that without animals, medical developments and the military would not be

2. I agreed with the points made about how influential music was to pop culture. We agreed it had an impact, but not as big as people believe. We agreed that they are so many more things that plays a factor. Also another point is how school doesn't teach us much and how we can learn so much more on our own. Lastly how music gives us an opportunity to learn and get a deeper meaning from different cultural groups that we would never physically encounter.

2) I like the idea of discussing human rights because I do not think I have ever had an open discussion about it. I never thought about how reproductive rights would be

Experimenting on animals dates back to the roman times, but since then the animal experimentation industry has grown massively and is now a multi-billion dollar industry. Every year millions of animals are killed in laboratory experiments worldwide. Animals are sometimes skinned alive and left to bleed to death. I decided to conduct this research because I worry about animal welfare. There are many different scenarios in which animals are experimented on. These include Medical research where testing on animals is not aimed at finding cures but finding ways of improving treatments to reduce things such as side effects. Medical testing on animals has and will continue to help the future of medicine. Genetic engineering is the fastest growing area of the animal experimentation franchise, already there are thousands of genetically modified animals. Product testing is where products such as makeup

“Animal testing is needless, especially in cosmetics” (Leona Lewis). Animals are being mistreated because of U.S labs. Furthermore, animals are dying in experimenting labs from the cruel and hard conditions. Although, animals often make better research subjects than human beings because of their shorter life cycles, animals should not be tested in experiments, because animal testing is cruel and inhumane, animals used in experiments are are commonly using force feeding, force inhalation, food and water deprivation, and many others.

I know that many types of animals are used for testing, but the main ones being used for research right now are birds, mice, reptiles, and rats. What are the alternatives to using animals in medical experiments? Is some animal testing required by law? Are all cosmetic products tested on animals harmful to them? What is the cost of animal testing? With some research I think I could learn a lot of new things about this topic. I think my main question overall would have to be, is animal testing necessary? I think that our society as a whole would not have been able to achieve the many techniques and medicines we have today if scientists had not tested on animals. I realize by doing this testing it is providing safety for humans and the environment, but maybe there is another way to go about doing this. This certain topic shows that our society will do everything in their power to protect the human race, even if it means harming innocent

Animals are used by scientists to develop research for new medications and experiments daily. The Humane Society is working to decrease the use of animals in laboratories by promoting the advancement of affective alternative approaches. Animal testing provides a useful model for treatments of diseases and possible cures. According to the US-based foundation of Biomedical Research, animal testing has made a major advance within the last century- for veterinary health and humans. The practice of using animals for testing has been debated for many decades. Is it morally right or wrong to use animals during experiments? Does federal law ensure that animals used in research are treated humanely? When considering the benefits of animal testing,

Discuss how the social, cultural and historical context shaped the meanings communicated in the artwork.

Using animals in research and to test the safety of products has been a topic of heated debate for decades. According to data collected by F. Barbara Orlans for her book, In the Name of Science: Issues in Responsible Animal Experimentation, sixty percent of all animals used in testing are used in biomedical research and product-safety testing (62). People have different feelings for animals; many look upon animals as companions while others view animals as a means for advancing medical techniques or furthering experimental research. However individuals perceive animals, the fact remains that animals are being exploited by research facilities and cosmetics

•A summary of the artists' personal philosophies of art (if they can be found in published sources), and the prevailing trends and schools of thought in the art world at the time and in the place the artist was working. For instance, discuss what was taking place in the artist's city, country, and/or church that may have provoked a reaction from the artist or the greater society. Include any information that might help the reader understand the artist's point of view or why the artist made his or her choices in this work of art.
