Temple Grandin Case Study

I was really excited to read the article “Power Steer” by Michael Pollen. I’ve seen several of his books at local book stores, as well as different television shows featuring his work. The purpose of Michael Pollen’s article was to educate himself and others on the process of producing industrial steak in America, and making a financial profit along the way. He felt that “Ignorance was no longer tenable.” In doing so, Michael decided to purchase an 8 month old calf numbered 534 for $598. This totaled $1.60 a day for room and board due to the cattle not being weaned yet. Throughout Michael’s educational journey, he was able to learn about the different problems associated with animal feeding operations. This includes health problems that cattle could cause to humans, such as

The Case of Temple Grandin paints a picture of a young woman’s determination and hard work while struggling with autism during a time when the disorder was unknown. This case discusses Grandin’s challenges, early diagnosis, growth and development in school, and support from her mother. Temple Grandin could not speak like the other children at the age of two, so because doctors could not find any physical issues she had been subsequently labeled as brain-damaged. To communicate with others, she would throw tantrums and scream. She could speak by three and a half years old with the help of speech therapy. A few years later at the age of five, Grandin was diagnosed with autism so her mother worked with her 30

In the US today cattle are part of everyday culture. With more than 93 million cattle in the dairy and beef industry, and tens of thousands in the rodeo business, cattle are definitely a huge part. Lately, there has been many concerns with the bovine friends along with multiple misconceptions. Rodeos may look tough on animals, and todays society is not educated well enough on the beef and dairy industry. People don’t realize that these animals are happy, healthy, and very well cared for.

In the Movie, Temple Grandin, Temple is portrayed as a very sensitive girl, even though she does not comprehend emotions she feels them. Christopher on the other hand is not as sensitive as Temple he is a much more rational kind of person. When Temple first graduated from high school she spent the summer with her aunt at a farm, while she was at the farm she had a very strong connection with the animals. When Temple would see the animals felt pain she would feel pain and unlike most people she actually felt she had to make a change, after that point she dedicated her intellect to animals and improving their living standards. Temple went through a lot of fighting with her professors in order to major in animal husbandry. Temple believed that “Nature is cruel, but we don’t have to be” Temple Grandin. Temple acknowledged the problems in the world and decided to solve them and that takes someone not only who preservers but someone who is conscious of their emotions and listens to them. Christopher is not at all like Temple in this sense,

Temple Grandin is an inspiration to everyone, whether they work with animals or not, whether they have autism or not. She is an amazing woman with incredible and unique qualities. Her contributions to the world of working with livestock, and many other animals, has changed how the process of meat and other animal products works. Working through her own obstacles of being a woman born in the late 1940s with autism, she has paced the way for many people like herself to excel, and for animals to be cared for properly, even though they are being raised for slaughter.

Slaughterhouses pose many threats and problems to both horses, people, as well as the economy and environment.

I genuinely got emotional when I first read this passage. When the author, Eric Schlosser visited a slaughterhouse in the High Plains, he describes the sight of cows being lead into the factory. These cows are lead up a ramp and into the factory to be knocked unconscious, then later slaughtered.

The author uses firsthand knowledge and personal experiences to find common ground with the opposition and turn the finger at the cattle industry instead. Furthermore, her down to earth style and descriptive language establishes her ethos and makes her argument more persuadable. Hasselstrom was successful, in spite of her bias, because she defined her principles, educated the uninformed, and unified the involved parties so solutions ways of thinking could

Born in 1949, Temple Grandin was first diagnosed with brain damage at the age of three and then, at the age of five, labeled Autistic. Today Temple Grandin, self-labeled as a recovered autistic, is a well-respected doctor in animal science, a professor at Colorado State University, a bestselling author, an autism activist, and a leading consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior. While it is easily argued that Temple Grandin’s life does not represent the norm for most children with autism, her autobiography, Emergence: Labeled Autistic (1986) offers a powerful picture of the influences and experiences that steered Temple through her journey ‘emerging’ from

Temple Grandin had studied includes how to give the cattle a proper life and a proper death. She believes that it is ethical to use animals for food as long as we do it the right way. The humane way. In 1970 the epidemic that hit the cattle farms advanced Temple Grandin's research. Many cattle were affected by mites which led them to lose weight or die from itching. When the farmers couldn't handle all the death they would take their cows and walk them through a pool of medicine called dip vats. A lot of the cattle didn't like the dip vats so they panicked and drowned causing more loss in the amount of animals on the farm. The way Temple helped fix this issue was by giving the animals a concrete footing to feel like their normal ground and solid walls so they couldn't see any of the commotion going on around them. This idea had saved many animals from the mites and drowning and saved the farmers a lot of

Temple Grandin was born in Boston, Massachusetts in August 1947. She was diagnosed with autism, a developmental disorder that was considered as brain damage at that time. Grandin started to speak at the age of four, unlike other children who had started earlier. Throughout her high school life, she had many difficulties in social interactions and even speaking. Grandin went to middle and high school and pursued a degree in psychology in Franklin Pierce College. She later went to Arizona State University and pursued a master’s degree specialising in animal science. A few years later, she pursued a doctoral degree in animal science at the University of Illinois. After school, she started working as a consultant to large-scale animal slaughter companies by advising them on the best approach to use in their operations. She has written books and in 2010, the film based on her life won the Emmy Award (Grandin and Deesing 23).

The movie “Temple Grandin” tells the story of a young autistic woman who did not let her disability define who she was and despite her disability, she earned a PHD in animal science. When Temple Grandin was born, her parents knew that she was different. Years later, she was diagnosed with autism. While, Temple's doctor recommended a hospital, her mother believed in her. Temple went to school instead.

Temple Grandin is a biopic directed by Mick Jackson .It was starred by Claire Danes as Temple Grandin. She is an autistic woman who brought changes in the practices of the humane handling of livestock on cattle ranches and slaughterhouses. The film covers Temple Grandin's life through a series of flashbacks. As a child, Grandin (Danes) was uncommunicative and prone to tantrums and is treated with autism.

Before watching the movie, I have never heard of it before. I never knew it existed. Temple Grandin is another inspiring movie that I have been glad to have watched. It deals with the autism of a woman and tells the inspiration true story of her.

There is beauty in all of us, a beauty that some of us have already figured out. Sometimes that beauty is unforeseen through us, other times that beauty is seen differently. For example, in Seeing in Beautiful, Precise Pictures, the author, Temple Grandin, tells us his view of slaughter houses, and how they can be viewed through his eyes by using the beautiful gift he has been given from God. The gift of Autism. While reading his "This I Believe" passage, it caught me off guard. I tried to put myself in his shoes, but only went so far. I did, however, find it beautiful how he expressed himself through that essay and portrayed his passion for that industry. Another example would be from A Duty to Heal, the author, Pius
