Rifkin

In 1978, a man by the name of Stanley “Mark” Rifkin used his advanced computer skills to pull off one the biggest bank heists known to the United States. He ran a computer consulting firm out of his home and had many clients. One of his clients in particular serviced the computers of the Security Pacific National Bank.

CA 90012 Dear Mr. Goldberg, I honestly think that Jeremy Rifkin had some very significant findings when he published “A Change of Heart about Animals”. If it wasn't for Rifkin many people like myself would have not known that animals share some of the same traits as humans like grief, self awareness, and the need for affection. Everyone needs to know that animals aren't some type of toy but rather a living creature with feelings. Rifkin wants his readers to believe that humans and animals are much

To the editor of “A change of heart about animals” Los Angeles Times, September 1, 2003: thank you for the well-written article by Jeremy Rifkin on animal emotions and cognitive abilities. Animal emotions are, indeed, important. When watching the full documentary last week on Koko, the gorilla who can, do sign language, and understand several thousand English words made me eager to write you. I agree with your statement that animals are more like us than we imagine in your opening sentence. We

Change of Heart about Animals”, Rifkin argues that we have more similarities to animals than we ever imagined. Rifkin states, “ What these researchers are finding is that many of our fellow creatures are more like us than we have ever imagined” (Rifkin 2). Most people think that animals aren’t like humans because they can’t talk however, that doesn’t justify anything. Animals are similar to humans because they have proven their sense of sensitivity and compassion. Rifkin stated, “ They feel pain, suffer

Jeremy Rifkin is a very talented writer. In his article, “A Change of Heart about Animals,” Rifkin states the many different examples and studies that prove his argument, which states, “…many of our fellow creatures are more like us than we had ever imagined.” Rifkin is completely correct in this and does a wonderful job of proving his point. Animals are a lot more like us than imagined. Rifkin gives an example of two birds, Betty and Abel, who use their intelligence to make hooks for retrieving

“A Change of Heart about Animals”, by Jeremy Rifkin, it talks about how us humans need to have a different perspective on how animals are treated and have more empathy for them. I however, disagree with Rifkin. It is essential to recognize that in nature, animals kill each other for food and have no sympathy for whatever it is that they are eating.With this said, why should killing,eating,and animal experimentation be any different or inhumane? Rifkin talks about how animals such as pigs get lonely

In Rifkin’s article, A Change of Heart about Animals, highlights the fact we should have empathy of the way we treat our creatures that we share the earth with. He supports his argument with examples of animals having adroitness such as human do. Rifkin also addressesthe brain anatomy and chemisty similar to us.

About Animals” written by Jeremy Rifkin informs readers that animals feel emotions very much similar to humans and should be given more rights. I agree with Rifkin’s statement, but to a certain extent. Rifkin gives great evidence, but one that stood out to me the most was how pigs experience depression if not given enough play time or affection. It reminds me of how humans become depressed if isolated from certain aspects in their life. It also baffled me when Rifkin mentioned how Koko, a 300 pound
