The Zookeeper's Wife By Diane Ackerman

The book The Zookeeper’s Wife by Diane Ackerman is about a families life during World War II. It is mainly about how Antonina had an impact on many people’s life. It starts off telling what the zoo looks like in great detail. It talks about how the young animals get to stay in the villa with them and Rys and Antonina help take care of them. They go to a cabin they have in the woods because they get news that the Germans are going to invade Poland next.

The Zookeeper’s Wife is a book about zookeepers, Jan and Antonina Zabinski, and their impact on some Jews during the Holocaust. When Germany invaded Poland, bombers destroyed almost everything in Warsaw, including most of the animals in the zoo. After this disaster, the owner of the zoo, Lutz Heck, took the remaining animals. With their animals gone and the war still going on, Jews kept escaping from the Warsaw Ghetto and needed a place to hide. The Warsaw Ghetto was an area surrounded by a wall where all of the Jews were kept.

It’s a fun time seeing the animals at the zoo, but do the animals love living there? This is what Jack Hanna thought throughout the book Monkeys on the Interstate by John Stravinsky. Most people are in the zoo business not for the well being of the animals, but instead for the money. On the other hand jack Hanna's first priority is the animals.

Gabriel, Gonzalez Period.4 Mrs.Moreh ERWCA Animals. Rifkin has a point and has good solid evidence on his argument. He has one belief but other people believe in something else. Many people see animals a different way, some people just see them as pets others see them as part of their family which is nothing wrong believe me everybody has different perspectives of how they see things.

Have you ever been locked inside a small room? How does it feel to be caged? If you were locked for a long period of time, what would happen? The story I was about to tell you came from a case study in sociology, Genie, the girl who lost communication. She was a victim in a severe abuse.

The marginal case argument states that the mentally impaired and human infants have moral status than so should animals because there is not much difference in their ability to be rational. Moral status refers to the right to not be killed and tortured. This argument also promotes not only infant humans and the mentally impaired to be moral patients but animals as well. As moral patients have moral status without the need to have rationality.

I believe that Spiegel’s comparison between animal and human slavery is both fair and unfair. She has some points, but, possibly because of connotation, the two still seem different. However, in the technical sense, all forms fall under the definition of slavery. Slavery is the practice of owning living beings. These beings are property and are stripped of freedom.

As the question consist of an analogical argument, so, I will divide this essay into three parts. I am going to define is that human are animals first, describe the rights we have and then using the Kant’s anthropocentric views, Peter Singer’s specialism, Tom Regan’s views on animal right and some examples, to give a full picture in order to support my stance. In my opinions, I strongly agree that all human are animals, but, there are some differences between the human and animals mentally. Thus, I agree with the statement of “animals also have rights”.

At this point in history, wealth has become dominant in the judgement of the success of an individual by the community. Why is this the benchmark for success in society? I believe that this is because people view the wealthy as comfortable and happy with no worries or any stress on survival. The question I am looking to answer in this paper has to do with whether this “success” is truly what a human being should strive for. Arendt and Aristotle have different views on the importance of what we should judge as success in individuals even though they express these views under the same name.

Anthropocentrism is ‘human-centered perspective,’ which means that we have humanitarian obligation to help others who are suffering and as humans, we only are essential for ‘worth’ and ‘values. ' This concept is seen as the Kantian perspective, where it is being claimed that each person is count till an end in him or herself. In anthropocentrism, things that are right until the end and which supports our interests. Animals and Nature, for example, those are useful to us, and they satisfy our needs, and thus we get profited by them in many purposes such as food, clothes, shelter, etc. The result to this is that the plants, animals and the rest of the part of our environment have no inherent value.
