Why Is Animal Testing Not Illegal?!?

More and more recently, I have been becoming vastly aware of my own opinions about the world. With this comes new stances I take on things that I am passionate about. One of those things is animals. I have always been so in love with animals. As a little girl, I was always way more of a stuffed animal kid than a doll one. I carried my stuffed animals around like my best friends, and gave them names and personalities. As I have grown, my love for animals has only increased along with me. I am always eager to learn everything I can about any kind of animal, and refuse to have an aversion to animal simply because other people do. My favorite kind of animal is a dog. Dogs are the most loving, sweet, and loyal animals that exist on this planet. They can be your very best friend, reduce your stress and anxiety, and bring you lots of laughs!  I have never been able to describe the feeling of having a dog plop down in your lap and just fall asleep. The love of a happy, cared for animal is like none other.

Now you may be wondering what all that has to do with animal testing. This is why; I love animals. And thankfully, I am not alone in that love. Pretty much every single person has a favorite animal and desires some kind of animal companion in their lives. Animals are our partners in crime; our unconditional friends. We bring them into our homes, feed them, keep them safe, and shower them with affection. One might say this is very similar to how we treat fellow humans. Our children, parents, friends, etc. We always want what is best for them and would not condone human cruelty. Let me ask you this, if you heard that a dog food company was buying people against their will, and forcing them to smell, and even consume the dog food without consent, would you simply shrug it off? My guess is no. Even if you did not stand up for it right away, you would definitely agree that it should become illegal ASAP. So why don't you feel the same about our animal cousins? Just because they cannot speak in words like we do, they have no rights? No feelings? No sense of pain or depression? My question is, buying people and forcing them to be lab rats is unheard of and most definitely punishable by law. So why isn't the same thing true for animals? It breaks my heart that our society finds it less of a priority simply because they are animals, not people.

So, as I grow, the more I realize that injustices such as animal testing should be illegal. I am going to at least point out the problem, and try and raise awareness of problems needing solved.

Technological Literary Advancement?

Many elder generations whom did not grow up in the world of technology find it to have tarnished the so called good name of life's offerings. We could sit around and argue all day about if new technology is healthy or not for our society, but honestly, there is no point. Life moves in a forward direction, never back. Every aspect of everything we know is changing, including our world of writing. Nowadays, information is at everyone's fingertips. It is able to be retrieved in seconds. It is no wonder how that changes the way we write. If anything, it has made it more competitive. Since information can be so quickly created, published, and retrieved thanks to the internet, becoming a fully functional writer has gotten much more difficult of achieve. However, this does not mean that the internet has not aided with such a goal either. It has become much easier to get your works out there. You can post, create websites, and contact others in the blink of an eye. All it takes is a ...

Thursday Thoughts

April 18, 2013 So, this week I edited and finished my cityscape/urban project. I definitely took a bigger risk with this project, especially when it came to editing. I also became surprised with some images that I wasn't too happy with in the beginning. I edited lots of images to make them more strong and bold. I loved doing this project so much. As far as critiquing goes, I didn't get much of a chance to do very much of it this week. Although, I did help Zac out a lot with helping him choose which pictures stood out more than others. I thought it was cool how bold he was in this project.

Genders And Writing

It seems like a logical, but ancient idea that our genders influence the way we write. Someone might say that women write more emotional and men write more logically and factually. While in some cases this may be true, it cannot be said for men and women writers as a whole. The truth of the matter is that it is our culture that influences the way we write. If we grow up in a culture where men are not emotional and women are, the roles will be assumed by each gender. This is not because they simply feel they are emotional or not, it is because they want to fit into society and not be deemed a strange and unique person. Gender roles and personality traits are simply just a part of culture. Honestly, men can be very emotional, and women can not be at all. It all depends on the individual. This is what makes writing so beautiful. The individual gets to speak, not the gender, the race, the country in which they live, but them. The one person gets to have a voice different than anyone else...
