Sea Cows Extinction

Through educating the reader, Kleiman encourages the public to create an informed opinion on the controversy. Kleiman instantly assures the reader that he is a reliable, certain source from the very beginning of the section. He starts his argument with the phrase “It should be noted...” This fragment portrays the idea that the following statements are of truth, not simply his opinion (an application of ethos.) This instils the readers’ trust in Kleiman that he is presenting facts to assist the reader in creating an expert judgement on the subject rather than bestowing his opinion to make a point. Another technique Kleiman uses is repeating multiple points made in “Blackfish” and, in a sense, using them against the film by simply disproving the “purposefully misleading edit(s)” in the film with concrete facts and conclusive data. For example, the film shows footage of an older orca hunt in the ocean as a voiceover speaks about a captive orca who was taken from the wild for SeaWorld. Kleiman reveals that the footage is not proof of the orca’s capture, but rather clever editing. He exposes that the film is from a completely unrelated orca hunt for the capture of the killer whale used in the film “Free Willy”. Continuing to explain the manipulation of film in “Blackfish,” Kleiman provides the reader with evidence as to why the two captures do not correlate, such as a logo of a different theme park on camera and providing extra data about the capture of “Free Willy”. By disproving the points made in “Blackfish” that are supposed to make viewers feel as though orcas in captivity are bad news, Kleiman opens up opportunities for readers to process true facts for themselves without an

The lecture explained how the population of sea otters declined, due to the environmental pollution. First, the oil rigs along the Alaskan coat serve as an indication to pollution. This directly refutes the reading passage which states that predation was most likely the reason, since the bodies of the dead sea otters didn't wash on the shores.Secondly, the passage mention that the water samples that were extracted from the sea revealed the presence of chemicals. Again, this contradicts with the lecture which claims that the whales which the otters consume were not available anymore. Which had forced the sea otters to change their diet to include small sea animals. Thirdly, the lecture mentions that the decrease in sea otters population was

The reading and the lecture are both theories of why dinasours were endotherms or cold blooded aninmals. Whereas as the author of the reading states that there is not enough evidence to assume that dinosaurs were endotherms. The lecture casts doubt on the main points made in the reading by providing three reasons.

At first, the reading passage posits that the diet for these dinosaurs proves that they had to migrate to find plants. Conversely, the professor refutes this point by imparting that this ratiocination is invalid on the ground that there was in some period a warm climate in this area. According to the professor, the 24 hours sunshine eventuated in warm weather and extensive daylight would provide a desirable environment

First, the article claims that the sea cows may have been overheated by groups of native Siberian people. However, the professor refutes this point by saying that sea cow was a massive creature and couple of them will be enough to feed the Siberian population. Also, the Siberian population was not large, so they don’t have to hunt a lot of cows to feed themselves. As a result, they were not the cause that drop the cow’s population to the extinction point.

In both set of materials, the reading presents three argument of support of the Peary's claim; however, the lecturer finds what ever the author says in his description is unconvincing and has no solid evidence.

Although the professor opposes this by saying that agnostids population was so large and they were found in vast amounts that could have killed the animal they were living on. We learned from the professor that agnostids enormous population rules out the possibility that they have been

First, the reading claims that sea cows have been overhunted by the group of native Siberian people. The professor refutes this point by saying that sea cows are very massive and one sea cow has about 10 tons meat. He states that the number of the native Siberian people are limited, therefore, this amount of the meat adequate for them for a month. So, it cannot be the cause of the extinction because they don't need to the meat much.

The article states the three theories that causes the Steller’s sea cow extinction, and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that the causes of sea cow extinction is not clear, and the three theories does not cause Steller’s sea cow extinction, and refutes each of the author’s reasons.

First, the reading passage suggests that the sea cows become extinct because of over hunted by groups. On the contrary, the professor casts doubt on it. She argues in the lecture that the sea cows’ extinction have not relationship with over hunted. This is because these groups did not hunt a lot of them. Obviously, the professor disproves its counterpart in reading.

The reading states that there are three theories about the main cause of the extinction of the Steller's sea cow. However, the professor explained that we do not know the cause of sea cow extinction and there is problems in the theories of the reading passage.

First, the reading passage mentioned that fossils that have been found in polar regions show us that dinosaurs are endotherms otherwise, they can’t survive this kind of harsh environment. The speaker opposes with this reasoning, claiming that the polar regions were not as cold as nowadays, so the dinosaurs could have lived there. Moreover, she claimed that maybe when these dinosaurs encountered with frigid climate, they could have migrated to warmer areas or they

Narwhals have been listed as “Nearly Threatened” since 2008. Very few laws have been proposed in attempts to protect this interesting species. In an effort to support conservation, the European Union established an import ban on hunting Narwhals for their tusk (tooth). Narwhals are becoming extinct for three main reasons.

The reading passage tries to give some reasons to clarify the extinction of a huge marine mammal which is famous as Steller's sea cow while the professor on the lecture looks at this concept through a different lens and tries to dismiss all of them.
