Jim”. Huck is basically referring to him as a crazy man, that has no idea in what he is doing, not even thinking. Later on in the book Huck started to realize Jim had “human” feelings. Back then people would consider colored people less than a chimpanzee. The most idiotic racial stereotype ever made up. Allowing students to read this, they will take these things as a joke and be tempted to repeat the stereotypes outside of the class room, then we’ll have them thinking its ok to use them in…
Make-up, fragrances, cleaning supplies, medicine, body wash: these are all items that can be bought at almost any store in the United States. Many big companies test these products on animals to identify the quality and effectiveness of it. Animals should not be used as experimentations because they are living being, just like us. Not only is this practice cruel and inhumane, it is not accurate for animals to be tested on when their bodies are so different from human bodies when there are…
Freud, “the Interpretation of Dream” Freud first recounts the story of Oedipus Rex. Freud says this story speaks to the audience because we are inherently attracted to the same sex parent and usually dislike the opposite sex parent; this is where his term Oedipus complex comes from. He then compares Hamlet to Oedipus Rex by stating that they both discuss the issues of dreams concerning parents, but in Hamlet the inclinations to fall for your parents is unconscious. The next chapter discusses…

The sign on the tree, which read “Runaway Slave! $2,500 Reward. Slave’s name is George. Tall, lanky, strong…” George looked at this sign, though he could not read it, he recognized his name on the poster, and feared for his life. He knew he would face severe punishment if somebody found him. He raced on across a bridge. The moonless night was a blessing, he thought, as ran past a dark farmhouse. However, something told him that this escape would not be his last. Moments later, he heard the clip…
Charles Darwin is a scientist that came up with the theory of natural selection to explain variation and evolution. Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype (Zimmer&Emlen, 2013). This means that in an environment where the condition is constantly changing, species that stay in that environment and use it as their habitat adapt to the changes of the environment to survive the changes and their off springs are also able to…
an IQ of 70. Yes there are certain characteristics of beings that make their lives more valuable than others however then that would imply that there are nonhuman animals whose lives hold more value than the lives of some humans. For instance a chimpanzee would have greater mental capacities than a mentally retarded infant (Singer 388). This objection does not succeed because since it is wrong to treat other members of our own species differently based solely on their intelligence then that does…

The HIV virus came from near the equatorial West Africa, originating from a native chimpanzee that had been hunted for its meat. Chimps carried what was called Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV)(3). SIV ran through the blood stream of these chimps and as humans came into contact with the blood they became exposed to the original disease. After some time human systems mutated the SIV virus into HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The virus travels through the body by accompanying the bodily…
