Unit 3 Practice Diagramming Exercises PHIL 101 Spring 2016 1. (1) The conditions under which many food animals are raised are unhealthy for humans. (2) To keep these animals alive, large quantities of drugs must be administered. (3) These drugs remain in the animals’ flesh and are passed on to the humans who eat it. 2. (1) The development of carbon-embedded plastics, otherwise called “composits,” is an important new technology because (2) it holds the key for new aircraft and spacecraft designs.

In Alastair Norcross’ paper, “Puppies, Pigs, and People: Eating Meat and Marginal Cases” he describes a situation in which a man, Fred, has lost his ability to enjoy the gustatory pleasure of chocolate due to a car accident. However, it is known that puppies under duress produce cocoamone, the hormone Fred needs in order to enjoy chocolate again. Since no one is in the cocoamone business, Fred sets up twenty six puppy cages, and mutilates them resulting in cocoamone production in the puppy’s brains. Each week he slaughters a dog and consumes the cocoamone. When he is caught, he explains to the judge and jury that his actions are no different from factory farming because he is torturing and killing puppies for gustatory pleasure similar to how factory farms torture and kill cows, chickens, etc. for other people’s gustatory pleasure. You, the reader are meant to think that this is unacceptable, and therefore, denounce factory farming. Although there are many valid objections to this argument, I am in agreement with Norcross and shall be supporting him in this paper. I think the two most practical objections are that (1) most consumers don’t know how the animals are treated whereas Fred clearly does, and (2) if Fred stops enjoying chocolate, no puppies will be tortured, but if a person becomes a vegetarian, no animals will be saved due to the small impact of one consumer. I shall explain the reasoning behind these objections and then present sound responses in line with Norcross’ thinking, thereby refuting the objections.
If one truly wants their descendants to be successful, he should not just hand them money. Those who are simply given money are unworthy, and bound to attain nothing but poverty. It is essential to prepare children and teach them to earn a livelihood. Additionally, one should ingrain the sentiment of involving themselves in labor for the pure benefit of the public.
A major topic that has been brought up is the use of antibiotics in the farm animals sent to slaughter, this a very misunderstood topic for many people do not understand that there is withdraw times on the medicine bottle that gives you the amount of day that it takes for the medicine to get out of the animal’s system. Another topic is that, we abuse our animals; I can inform you that it is a false claim for we treat our animals the best that we can and we make sure they live a long and happy
In the conclusion, I would like to claim that the word "owe" does not undermine the role of mutuality and love, rather it just works to strengthen the responsibilities that is to be fulfilled by the children towards their parents.
b. when it comes to toxicity they need to breed, test, and dispose animals as hazardous waste
3) If children must be shuffled between two families, then one household should be established as home and the other as a place to visit.
The introduction is human/livestock orientated, but the remainder of the paper is presented in livestock terminology. Some discussion about the relevance of the results to human populations would be useful.
“If we fail to look after our children they will drag this nation down” (Hewitt 10).
There are many debates around the world about the topic of animal abuse. Animal abuse in the food industry has become a major problem due to the cruel treatment of animals. Most of the world's population might think that animal cruelty is only found in homes and on the street, but they forget about the other forms of animal abuse that affect the food industry. Large contributors to animal abuse are due to fishing methods, animal testing, and slaughterhouses. "Animals have always been a major part of our society in history and they have played huge roles in agriculture" (ASPCA). Factory farming is a system of confining chickens, pigs, and cattle under strictly controlled conditions. Slaughterhouses are places where animals are killed
Ethical eating and food selection reveal that responsibility: “modern meat and animal products and industries are also explored.” (Crocombe 88) The author believes that the simple facts are enough to make consumers make the mental link between the awful lives of the animals that live and die for the purpose of
The first point of view about whether parents should assume equal responsibilities when raising a child is that a child should be raised with all the care and love from both parents. Women and men should share their responsibilities because it is important for the children that both parents are involved and are able to collaborate with each other. Parents play a significant role in educating children and providing their basic needs. Consequently, a good...

Lots of parents are rich, they do not want their children to suffer. They do everything when their children wants. Children do not cook by their self, they do not wash their clothes, and they develop a mental laziness. They do not do everything. I remember saw on TV...
Meat is a major part of people’s diets all around the globe. According to Jennifer Preyss, award-winning writer for the Victoria Advocate, “About two billion people around the world that eat meat in their diets” (2012).Now, two billion might not seem like a large number due to the world population being about seven billion but, one cannot wholly deny the fact that 2 billion people is still quite a lot of people in world to be consuming meat. Also, in 2015, Roberto Ferdman, a reporter for the Washington who is well known for covering topics regarding food, exclaims that “industrial countries consume about 210 pounds of meat while the countries of the developed world eat about 66 pounds of meat each year”. This is a shocking fact indeed, as it helps to show just how much people in the world are affected by meat-based diets during this modern age . Even in the days of humans hunting and gathering their food, people consumed meat then and they still do now. That being said, people devour meat to survive and thrive. Though, it is apparent to many that time has progressed since prehistoric times, what stays the same is that there are people who still continue to eat meat for the sole purpose of survival and being able to live a healthy lifestyle. Besides the fact that meat has been so widely integrated into society, it also is filled with a
The parent will care for others and ourselves; they are also useful for raising children and for routine decisions that require the superior thinking of the adult. A transaction can be either independent or crossed at the same time clear or hidden.
In conclusion, children who want to see their aging parents happy, they always try to give their parent best atmosphere .Which they only can get at home .However, children should think about their aging parents what do they really want? They only want professional care or a better and happy atmosphere with their family’s every day. It is not necessary children should take care of their elderly parent, but we really need to think about it because parents work their entire lives to support their family and we owe them a lot. So, in my opinion children should be responsible for their aging parents.
