When he went to the mental health clinical he realized how doctors were detached from the patient. Doctors wouldn't get to know the patient and treated them as they were a disease and need to be cured. The doctors didn't really pay attention to their patients as evidenced in the movie, Petch would say random vulgar words to the doctor, and the doctor didn't realize it (shadyac). It was this experience that made him want to become a doctor and change the way how doctors, and patients …show more content…
One example is that both in the reading and the movies students couldn't visit the hospital into the third year. In the reading Smith and Kleinman argue that “By competing for years for the highest grades, these students have learned to separate their feelings from the substance of their classes and to concentrate on the impersonal facts of the subject matter” (Smith & Kleinsman, 1979,p.61). This idea is exactly the same for the students in the movie. The students in the movie think that getting higher grades will help patients and think that Petch's way of dealing with patients is a joke (shadyac,
In the article “A change of heart about animals” author Jeremy Rifkin uses rhetorical appeals such as ethos, logos, and pathos to persuade humanity in a desperate attempt to at the very least have empathy for “our fellow creatures” on account of the numerous research done in pursuit of animal rights. Rifkin explains here that animals are more like us than we imagined, that we are not the only creatures that experience complex emotions, and that we are not the only ones who deserve empathy.

Most people are familiar with service dogs and have seen them in action. Animal-assisted therapy is similar service animals in that an animal-human healing partnership is being created. However, the difference is that therapy pets are typically used to treat a mental disability whereas people with physical disabilities use service dogs to help them in many ways.

For people with these mental health disorders, everything in live can be difficult and challenging, however with the help of animal-assisted therapy, their mood, motivation, and life can dramatically improve. Anyone who hears about these brave, loving animals soon falls in love with them. From a medical standpoint, there have been many successful studies and the support for animal-assisted therapy still continues to grow in doctors and therapists across the nation.
“Do animals have emotions?” When animal lovers and pet owners are asked this question, the answer is a quick and definite, “Yes!” For others, the answer isn 't so simple. Many of the researchers that had reservations, spent their time wondering what dogs (and other animals) were capable of feeling, or if they were capable of feeling anything at all. Since these researchers were unable to put feelings under a microscope, their research lead no where, and they remained skeptics. To the contrary,Marc Bekoff, author of several books including The Emotional Lives of Animals: A Leading Scientist Explores Animal Joy, Sorrow, and Empathy and Why They Matter, begins his research three decades ago with the question, “What does it feel like to be a

When an animal is beaten, it not only causes the animal to be physically harmed, but it can also result in the animal receiving severe psychological damage. The abuse can cause the animal to become afraid of all humans, whether they are abusive or not. Not only can the victim become afraid of humans, it can cause it to even be hostile towards people and other animals. For example, if a dog’s previous owner was abusive, that can end in the dog being aggressive towards others due to its fear of being hurt like he/she was in the past. A tremendous part of animal cruelty that people do not recognize is the abuse of animals is linked to the abuse of humans in many cases. Animal neglect correlates with human neglect, which usually involves a child, elder, or other dependent (Animal Legal Defense Fund). In a survey, seventy-one percent of domestic violence victims said that their abuser also turned their household pet into a victim of abuse (Animal Cruelty Facts and Statistics). In a study completed in 1983, eighty-eight percent of families under investigation for child abuse partook in animal abuse along with the abuse of their child (Animal Cruelty Facts and Statistics). Not only does this cruelty affect the victims, but it can also affect the ones witnessing the violence. When someone is in the presence of violence of an animal or another person, it can affect the
The ugly truth is that animals are dying at the hands of their owners everyday, some in very violent ways that can be avoidable given the right solution. Slaughterhouses, puppy mills, dog fighting, and so on, are just a few examples of how animals are being treated badly by people. Animal cruelty is a form of violence which, un...

The way animals are treated in zoos, laboratories, and farms has become a concern to many people. ‘Suffering’ covers a wide range of different emotional states such as fear, boredom, exhaustion, pain grief, thirst, and hunger. Suffering is also defined as the bearing or undergoing of pain, distress or injury. Laws, guidelines, regulations, and codes have been put in place to inform people of how animals should be treated. All the animals are not humans, they feel pain as well, and they should not have to suffer because of our selfish wants and needs. Humans response towards negative and positive reinforcers are similar to the way non-human animals react. All though we may be genetically and physically different, we are still pretty similar. Therefore, we should treat animals the way we want to be treated. (Dawkins) Some animals can show us their emotions from positive and negative reinforcements by their behavior. Some animals show their emotions by pushing doors or pecking keys. Other animals have autonomic responses, for example, increase in heart rate associated with emotional situations such as aggression. Other animals have specific behaviors such as vocalizations associated with their emotional state. Animal suffering causes us to question the things we do. For example, we shouldn’t kill animals or inflict pain on
Emotional regimes and emotional communities are a part of all societies both in the past and the present and as such, the analysis of both is crucial in understanding the culture and motives of the societies. Moreover, the comparison of the theories, noting the differences, can further enhance one’s understanding of societies, thus making these theories a valuable tool for
Animal welfare is a fairly recent, yet troubling argument in society. This subject is a strong argument on a variety of opinions. Animal welfare has become a major issue and has grown internationally. The human concern and the safety and rights of animals is the meaning of the concept of animal welfare. Through decades of animal welfare, people fight to prevent the action of animal cruelty and bring help towards animal rights.
Some people do not consider certain acts of animal cruelty to be cruelty or they do not care. Normally the people who think like that are the ones who are actually causing the animal abuse themselves. Animal abusers sometimes do not see any wrong in what they are doing because they do not care what the animals feel. They do not think if the animals are happy or being hurt, they just continue doing what they are doing because to them it is not cruelty towards the animal. Some, though, do not believe that t...
