persuasive speech on animal rights

Answers

Answer:

The Earth is a big family; all the creatures are related to each other. Although other creatures beside human beings do not have sophisticated language ability, they have similar emotion sense like us. I love animals, and I was a volunteer at an animal shelter in Taiwan. One of my cats was from there. I remembered when I met her the first time she looked skinny and weak. She was terrified of people, and her eyes revealed sad emotion. After a period of time under my careful care, she gradually became different. She is full of vitality now. She started to believe that human beings and she still lives with us now.

Thus, I believe if we treat animals with kindness, they can feel it. I regard a cat's key ring as my spiritual symbol; it means I will protect them all my life. When I see news that is related to animal abuse, I feel particularly sad, especially when it is about animal testing. According to the survey, there is an estimation of 26 million animals suffered every year in the United States because of scientific and commercial testing. Those animals are usually born in a laboratory. They are born for the purpose of drug testing, and they do not have the right to choose. I think all animals have their rights to live in a healthy body. Therefore, if animal testing is prohibited, animals will get their liberation and freedom.

Animals have their rights. According to Tom Regan, “To be for animals is not to be against humanity. To require others to treat animals justly, as their rights required, is not to ask for anything more nor less in their case than in the case of any human to whom just treatment is due”. In this world, there are laws and regulations to prohibit human beings using other human beings to do experiment. However, there are no laws and regulations to protect animals from animal testing. Do animals have no right to live? Just because animals do not have the responsibility and obligation as do mankind, does it mean their lives are cheap and insignificant? If all kinds of tortures in experiments where was do on a child, will human beings still agree?

Now Jim was a dreamer, but he was a thinker, too. And he thought one day that if he let his owner meet the cooter, he might get his freedom that way. After all, a talkin cooter was a wonderful thing to hear. So Jim went on back to the plantation. He found the slaveowner, and he says, “Mas, I wanter tell you about this cooter down there at the pond.”

—“The Talking Cooter,”
Virginia Hamilton

What is the topic of this passage?

Jim makes friends with a cooter.
An enslaved man believes a talking cooter will help him gain his freedom.
A talking cooter wants to meet Jim.
Jim is a talking cooter who wants to be a dreamer like his owner.

Answers

Answer:

An enslaved man believes a talking cooter will help him gain his freedom.

Explanation:

1. It’s never stated or implied that Jim and the cooter are friends.

3. Jim is leading the slaveowner to the cooter. This does not imply that the cooter wants to meet Jim, nor does it state such directly.

4. It’s stated that Jim is already a dreamer. It never says Jim is a talking cooter.

As for why the answer I gave is right, it’s because that’s what the majority of the passage is about. The second sentence states it directly, despite some minor differences in phrasing, and the rest of the passage discusses Jim trying to use the talking cooter to get freed. Hope it helps :)

Answer:

An enslaved man believes a talking cooter will help him gain his freedom.

Topic: Arguing Against the Atomic Bombing of Hiroshima & Nagasaki

Large-scale tragedies are not a new occurrence in history, but the same cannot be said for the horrific events that occurred on August 6, 1945, when the Japanese city of Hiroshima became the world’s first victim of atomic weaponry. That morning, a B-29 named Enola Gay dropped “Little Boy,” an inaptronymous five-ton atomic bomb, onto the civilian city under the directive of the United States government. There is no doubt that it brought WWII to a preemptive end—the Japanese officially surrendered on August 15 following the bombing of Nagasaki—but it also catalyzed the Cold War. Moreover, tens of thousands of lives were lost as a result of the immediate blast, and thousands more from the fallout. Additionally, violence doesn’t always have to precede further violence; there is nothing that cannot be handled peacefully, especially in regards to relationships between nations. And in the end, the decision to drop the bombs was unjust and genocidal.

Review Richard M. Nixon's opening statement in his 1960 debate with John F. Kennedy. Then, in a response of at least two well-developed paragraphs, explain the central idea of Nixon's statement and analyze how it develops. Explore the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence that Nixon provides and cite specific details from the text to illustrate and support your points.

Answers

Answer:

Find the paragraphs below.

Explanation:

In his opening statement, Richard M. Nixon first agrees with John F. Kennedy's submission that America was in a competition with other nations hence the need to make progress. He, however, disagrees that America was at a standstill and not making progress. He supported this argument by citing several achievements America has made over the past years of his administration compared against other administrations.

Nixon supported his argument with so many examples. For example, he stated that America's economy revived quickly from the stagnation caused by recession in 1958, by six and nine-tenths percent, the highest in the world at that time. He used relevant and sufficient facts and figures to counter the claims made by John F. Kennedy. These were effective persuasive skills.
