Making a difference in the world by asking “why” is something I relate to and practice whenever possible. I’m Vegan because I want people to know that animal suffering is wrong, and for that matter I ask people “why” they follow their current lifestyles. However, when others ask “why” I’m Vegan it’s easier for me to explain the benefits of my lifestyle and how it’s slowly changing Earth. I know that by converting people to Vegans, the world wouldn’t be as damaged as it is. When I went Vegan, the first thing I asked was “Why is it okay to do this,” I knew that killing, raping, segregating, and, torturing other nations wasn’t right, but I never had the audacity to research the problem. In summary, I have a strong belief that asking “why” and
We always tell others and teach our child to be nice to others but what about the animals? You should do what morally right for them. Watching the animals being slaughtered and be eaten everyday is very shocking. Those who care for these poor animals, they all believe that animals are like human. They should be treated equally as us, although they do not have a voice but their minds and heart speaks it. In Cesar Chavez Speech, which is written in 1992, for his acceptance of a Lifetime Achievement Award from In Defense of Animals. In his speech he talks about the basis for peace is respecting all creatures. Although animals are small and powerless, they have a heart, a brain and a feeling also. What influences Cesar Chavez to go vegan is because he realize that “animals feel afraid, cold, hungry, and unhappy like we do.” (Chavez) People need to be aware what is going on around them. The animals they eat everyday get slaughtered and killed. All consumers do is going to the market and purchase the meat but they never see what is the process of cutting the piece of meat up. I would agree with Cesar Chavez that we need to protect the animals. People think the animals are to be raised and eaten. As us human, we do not need to eat meat or any meat products to survive. People need to understand that animals can be our friends too. For example, everyone love to have a pet dog or cat. What if people start to eat dogs, would more people stand up and protest? Of course because they think dogs are like human and that they are a friend. If dogs be treated like that shouldn’t animals like cows and chicken be the same. Those cows that you get dairy from and meat from are suffering. In the farm, they are all stayed closely together, no space to move around. For the cows, to produce the milk you drink everyday, the cows are getting pregnant and once the baby was born, it is taken away from its mom and the
The first things that come to a person mind when they hear the word, “vegan’, are usually protest for animal rights, salads, and a lack of protein, but the question is does he/she really know what being a vegan is all about? Veganism is the practice of abstaining away from the use of any product that uses animals, commonly associated with the cruel treatment of animals and make up thirty-one percent of the population worldwide. An ethical vegan is a form of veganism were a person does not use any product that has been tested on an animal or is made from an animal. A dietary vegan is a form of veganism were a person does not consume any product made from, by, or out of an animal. Many people believe that veganism is unnecessary because “not all animal are treated bad” or :it’s to hard, or “it’s bad for the body.” Although some people believe that, realistically, a vegan diet comes with an abound of benefits for animals, the body and the environment.
Novels can be developed through the point of view of events and characters. I Am Mordred develops a limited event for third person point of view in the Prologue and Epilogue, while Books One through Four develop a less limited point of view for characters.
Veganism is becoming a big part of our society. By switching to a vegan diet and vegan lifestyle, everyone can make a change to the world we are living in. Most people go vegan for three important reasons: the environment, their life and their morals. I believe more people should become vegan and switch to a vegan lifestyle to make a change in the environment and end animal suffering.
This essay analyzes the ethical argument for veganism through the lens of philosophy using Utilitarianism defined by John Stuart Mill, and Deontological ethics according to Immanuel Kant. Through the use of these theories, I will justify the moral worth and legitimacy of the animal welfare debate that is often used to promote a cruelty-free and vegan lifestyle by analyzing questions of animal sentience, the worth of an animal’s happiness, and the right humanity supposedly has to the lives of other living creatures. Utilitarianism and Deontological ethics will provide two philosophical insights into the reasoning of a life abstaining from harming animals.
In this day and age, people are very passionate about their beliefs. Many change their lives to do what they believe to be right. Many people are very concerned about animal mistreatment, so they do not use any food or products that come from animals or that harm them in any way. This lifestyle is called veganism. According to an article on veganism, the definition is "a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practical—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose." Vegans are devoted to stopping all cruelty to animals, and therefore, are the voices for those who cannot speak for themselves.
The mere thought of abstaining from meat makes some revolt, an instinctive reaction to giving up something they enjoy so regularly, but lots of folks do it because they believe it is the healthier option. Though, when thoroughly looked at, that isn’t always the case.
The summer before my junior year one of my friends and I decided that we wanted to try out going vegan, just for fun, and just for that summer. I'd given up meat before for lent and I didn't think that was too difficult, and I just liked the idea of a challenge. When I started this I had no idea that it would change my perspective and my view on the world. Throughout that summer I began to educate myself on the reasons that many people go vegan, those who don't just do it for fun. I was horrified by the cruelty that I had been consuming, and how terrible it was that no one knew about it.
Moo! That's the sound of cows being slaughtered for our own nutritional benefit, but some people intensely dislike that sound which are vegans! Being a vegan is when you are someone that does not eat meat,fish,eggs or any dairy products. Why you should not be become a Vegan is a very simple thing. This is very simple because there is no exact way for someone to eat perfectly right all of the time. This is because most vegans are actually deficient in nutrients. There is also no scientific proof that being vegan is not any healthier than other diet. Also, it is scientifically proven that our bodies need a balance of every food even meat and dairy products. This is why you NOT become vegan.
In my early time of being a vegan, my initial instinct was to be defensive; to defend myself and my beliefs. I would scornfully respond and attempt to justify my actions to others. This often led to frustration and disappointment when these conversations ended in a negative manner. I didn’t wish to engage in arguments with people in regard to being vegan because that seemed frivolous. I just sought acceptance and understanding of my choices. Fortunately, I have since learned how to approach situations of this matter in a different and more positive manner. Rather than rebuttal their comments in a pessimistic way, I have learned to be understanding. I believe it is imperative for me to be understanding and reserve judgment; after all, there was a time when I did not know what I know today. There was a time when I too, indirectly contributed to the abuse of animals. I have also learned that I have absolutely no control over others’ thoughts and actions. I do not get to decide how others perceive me, I only get to determine how I will react to that perception. These struggles have taught me how to react in a kind and loving way. I have found that I can express myself and my thoughts without demeaning others and their
But, I have been taught to care about animals because they have feelings and emotions just like us. So I don’t mind the challenges that come with being vegan. We do not have the right to raise one animal on a higher pedestal than another based solely on the way we were conditioned. A dog is no different from a pig or a cow in terms of their emotions and behavior. Being a vegan also says that I am steadfast in my beliefs and that I have an empathetic soul. I am able to discern right from wrong and follow my heart in regards to veganism, as well as other aspects of my life. I care so deeply about other living beings and share a special bond with anyone going through formidable times because I always want to help those in need. Although the way I eat is somewhat unconventional, it has aided me in expanding my beliefs and views by becoming more receptive to the
When I tell people that I’m going vegan they always ask, “Why? Why wouldn’t you eat meat? Where do you get your protein? How can you survive without bacon?” Usually I respond with something like, “why not?” Being vegan benefits animals, the environment, and my health and if I can do that by just changing what I eat, then that 's a pretty good deal. And that’s the simple way of explaining it. In those conversations, I could go into more detail about why I’m going vegan and talk about the agricultural industry and the health and environmental benefits of veganism but I never have enough time to explain. So that’s what I’m here to do today.
We all wish they could tell us exactly what they want exactly when they need it. But that is not the case. In reality, they just hope we can understand their body language and oblige to them. People today are taking a stand for them in many different, helpful ways. Some are becoming vegan or vegetarian to support their beliefs and some are speaking in public places to spread their much needed word. As of 2014, 16 million people had become vegan or vegetarian to help support the rights of animals. This topic is important in history because without these animal liberation movements, they would still be treated as a product on a grocery store shelf and not living, breathing creatures that have feelings of their
Open-minded, proactive, and commitment are all features vegans grasp that parallel to exemplary leaders. In my opinion, the most momentous characteristic of a substantial leader is standing up for what they believe in. Because of my views on veganism, I have been ridiculed and out casted; for example, I have literally been shrieked at for declining meat. Those incidents have not altered my values, because I am not concerned with other people’s speculations. To me, being vegan means not contributing to what I believe is unjust. Throughout history, peerless leaders have been ones who stood alone; namely, Galileo, Socrates, and Jesus Christ. They have illuminated, by their example, that standing alone does not indicate my ideas are inferior. Becoming a leader means trusting yourself and your values, even if it means being in the minority, because the cause you are fighting for is more important than other’s opinions. I accredit my leadership qualities being unveiled by my ardor for veganism.
The main reason people decide to go vegan, is for the animals. To prevent the exploitation, because of emotional attachments to them, because of the belief that all creatures have the right to life and freedom,
