Serial murder as defined by the FBI is, “[t]he unlawful killing of two or more victims by the same offender(s), in separate events" (Morton Robert J. Ed, & Hilts., Ed, 2005, p. 9). Many people disagree with the definition, this researcher included, because it lacks the cool down period that serial killers typically take after killing their victims, which many feel is necessary for serial killer status. Serial killers are a rare phenomenon. The FBI states, serial murder accounts for less than one

believe parallels the video The Emphatic Civilization is the humanistic perspective as it highlights empathy and focuses on the “good” of human behavior. As emphasized by Rifkin (2010), as humans we are “soft-wired” with mirror neurons, which makes us recipients of other’s people emotions and feelings as we observe them. Like Rifkin, I believe that we learn from observing and interacting with others. Moreover, our ability to judge and interpret one’s situation is a skill that develops from the time

perform medical experiments, hunt them for “fun” and food, and keep them locked up in cages for “entertainment” at zoos. If animals had rights humans would not be using them for selfish purposes for fun and entertainment. In the article by Jeremy Rifkin it is mentioned that “researchers are finding that many of our fellow creatures are more like us than we had ever imagined. They feel

Having proper attention means daily care and interactions with either humans or other animals. When animals receive proper attention, it is clear that “learning is passed on from parent to offspring far more often than not…” (Rifkin, Par. 15). Learning is an important aspect for both humans and animals showing that when animals rights are restricted due to the inability to have interaction with other animals, no learning can occur. In the laboratories animals are often neglected

species of wildlife continue to be mistreated and neglected even when they show many signs of being intelligent creatures. In the article, “A Change in Heart About Animals” author, Jeremy Rifkin discusses many instances where animals prove smarter than people give them credit for. One of many discoveries evaluated by Rifkin where crows, that were able to manipulate a wire in order to retrieve food. The crow was able to adapt to the situation using its critical thinking skills, similar to humans. Since these

The Biotech Century by Jeremy Rifkin and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley are books relevant to technology educators. The Biotech Century discusses many of the biological processes, technologies, moral dilemmas, and political issues that now the society of human is facing at the first stage. Jeremy Rifkin begins by claiming that the communication era of humanity is leaving and entering a biological revolution era. The Frankenstein’s author create the character, Victor Frankenstein who is the creators

Animals feel pain, suffer and experience stress, affection, excitement and even love. In the article “A change of Heart about Animals” Rifkin notes that recent studies in the brain chemistry of rats show when they play, their brains release large amounts of dopamine, a neurochemical associated with pleasure and excitement in human beings”. This quote by Rifkin shows that rats release lots of dopamine and neurochemical which is associated with pleasure and excitement in humans. This is just one study

Animal Bill of Rights is a bill that is created based on the U.S Bill of Rights in order to protect the animals from getting harmed and used in experiments in an abusive way. I stand with Rifkin, Braithwaite, and Yong on how animals need a “Bill of Rights” due to the fact that we humans, specifically the scientists, have been treating animals in an inhumane way and considering them as an object to help achieve many goals. I wouldn’t think that such law would go against centuries of human culture

“Spiritual Perspectives on Globalization” written by Ira Rifkin and published by Skylight Paths Publishers in 2003, Rifkin defines globalization as a fusion of economic level, which encircles all the multinational companies that made possible the capital flows, cultural level, which encompass the homogenization of culture by the countries that undermine others and individual level, which features the consumerism and boost of consumer values (Rifkin). Still, globalization may reduce or increase inequality
