Simile powerpoint
A simile is a figure of speech that indirectly compares two different things using the words "like", "as", or "than". It draws a similarity between two things, such as comparing a person to being as fast as a speeding bullet or describing trees as forming a canopy over a road. Similes are commonly used in everyday language to help describe something in a vivid, imaginative way.
Metaphors
Metaphors are comparisons between two unlike things that help readers understand something in a new way. Metaphors state that one thing "is" the other rather than using "like" or "as", and can make readers picture or imagine something differently than its literal meaning. Metaphors bring writing to life and allow for creativity by letting readers experience things from a new perspective.
Compound subjects and compound predicates

Argumentative Essay Presentation Slides
The document argues that marine mammals should not be held in captivity for three main reasons:
1. Captivity causes many health problems in marine mammals due to poor water quality and lack of space, leading to diseases, injuries, and boredom.
2. Some marine mammals face abusive treatment by caretakers, as seen with the killer whale Keiko, which suffered from being underweight and dental problems.
3. Marine mammals breed poorly in captivity with high infant mortality rates, so births are often kept secret from mothers. Their lifespans are also shorter in captivity than in the wild.
The document concludes by restating the opinion that marine mammals should not be held captive, and

To Test or Not to Test: Ethics in Animal Testing
The subject of animal testing raises questions of necessity. Animal testing is
something that has been done for many years for several different reasons. It has been
used since the dawn of medicine by physicians and scientists. From biomedical research
to testing cosmetics, people claim that animal testing is necessary to benefit people in sa-
tiating their need for certain products as well as saving lives. There is an idea that animals
are the best way to find treatments and cures for people, but the treatment of animals is of
concern for some members of society. Society is feeling more and more that animals
have as much right to live freely in this world as humans do, and our obligation to see to
this makes animal testing a societal problem. Due to these concerns and others, there
have been several laws and acts formed to protect animals and minimize their suffering.
And with the advances of technology and other discoveries, the question of the necessity
of animal testing is becoming an issue for animal activist s and lovers everywhere. { The
future of medicine and biomedical research should not rely on animals for testing. In-
stead, we should use alternative testing methods and work toward making different life-
style choices. These solutions create the ethical outcome of ending the suffering of these
animals, which will have a positive influence on society and culture}.

To Test or Not to Test: Ethics in Animal Testing
The subject of animal testing raises questions of necessity. Animal testing is
something that has been done for many years for several different reasons. It has been
used since the dawn of medicine by physicians and scientists. From biomedical research
to testing cosmetics, people claim that animal testing is necessary to benefit people in sa-
tiating their need for certain products as well as saving lives. There is an idea that animals
are the best way to find treatments and cures for people, but the treatment of animals is of
concern for some members of society. Society is feeling more and more that animals
have as much right to live freely in this world as humans do, and our obligation to see to
this makes animal testing a societal problem. Due to these concerns and others, there
have been several laws and acts formed to protect animals and minimize their suffering.
And with the advances of technology and other discoveries, the question of the necessity
of animal testing is becoming an issue for animal activists and lovers everywhere. { The
future of medicine and biomedical research should not rely on animals for testing. In-
stead, we should use alternative testing methods and work toward making different life-
style choices. These solutions create the ethical outcome of ending the suffering of these
animals, which will have a positive influence on society and culture}.

Running head ANIMAL TESTING 1 Updated June 2018 .docx
The introduction discusses animal testing as a societal problem and states the thesis that alternative testing methods and lifestyle changes should replace animal testing to ethically end animal suffering.
The background provides context on animal testing, noting it has been used for household products, cosmetics, and biomedical research to benefit humans, but subjects animals to distress. Three reasons are given for why animal testing is a societal problem: it causes animals pain and suffering; psychological distress in intelligent animals like chimpanzees; and the questionable necessity as some drugs tested on animals fail in human trials.
The solution proposed is alternative testing methods to end the inhumane treatment of animals in testing.

The Use of Animals in Research
The debate about experimental animal use in research aim to prove weather their usage is a pseudoscience or not. Animals have been used widely in scientific research since the 500 BC. However, the use of experimental animals for research has been a controversial issue and subject of ethical debates. The growing body of animal advocates believes that experimental animal use in research is not necessary for reasons of wasting resources. Industries such as pharmaceutical research companies and cosmetics manufacturers use animals such as rats, rabbits and pigs to test their products. With such usage, the society has persistently called upon the concerned scientific community to find an alternative of experimental animal use especially in the business industries. Despite the fact that animal advocates who stage campaigns against the use of animals in research consider it unethical, pure research scientists have not demonstrated the economic and academic benefits of using these animals where Pound et al., (2004) argue that there is no evidence to show that the use of animals in research has direct human benefits. The animal use has led to a better scientific understanding of disease and drug processes hence leading to proper formulations and medical breakthroughs. Experimental animals have been successful models of disease and drug studies before clinical trials. The use of experimental animals is the basic science established in the research of cognitive science, biology, and medicine.
Organizations that refute the use of animals for research such as PETA and ASPCA consider these traditional scientific activities out of date and that it is morally wrong to use animals solely for the benefit of human beings. These organizations claim that traditional animal experiments are costly, they are expensive and time-consuming, (Ryder, 2005). In addition, animal advocates argue that pure research scientists have not been accountable for those experiments that have failed and their results having no economic or academic benefits in the society. Even worse, there is evidence indicating that experimental animal results can mislead researchers. Animals may die in the process of experimentation due to toxic drug treatment and such results may confuse. The PETA organization indicate that researchers focus on making the animals sick and later cure them, a process that does not happen in human. The PETA and allied organization also argue that best doctors and scientists are misplaced because they are compensated to work with animals in the laboratory instead of working with real patients in the community. Even though using animals in research is undisputedly intellectually seductive, these experiments have not solved the urgent health problems of this era such as heart disease, cancer, stroke, AIDS and birth defects. However, scientists have a good course ...
Animal Research A Personal Lesson
The author describes how their views on animal research changed after their laboratory was attacked by animal rights activists. Initially, the author was angry at the perceived anti-science views of the activists. However, over time and through further education in bioethics, the author came to understand ethical concerns with animal research and their responsibility to consider animal welfare. The author now focuses their work on research ethics.
Research Paper.docx
This document discusses the debate around animal experimentation. While some argue it has contributed to medical advances and education, activists argue it causes harm to animals. Animals are subjected to physical torture in labs, and millions are locked in cages for experimentation each year. Though tests have furthered scientific knowledge, activists believe there are more humane alternatives and that animal lives should not be disregarded for human needs. It is a controversial issue weighing scientific progress against animal welfare.
Research articles
The document contains summaries of multiple research articles about animal testing and animal rights. One article distinguishes between animal rights and welfare, defining rights as leaving animals alone and welfare as protecting and caring for animals. A survey found 32% of respondents would stop buying cosmetics tested on animals. Another article shows declining animal use in medical schools through a graph. One discusses trends in animal research, including articles on both sides. Another discusses medical advancements from animal research. The final article promotes reducing animal testing through new technologies and describes how testing affects animals.
Animal experimentation
This document discusses animal experimentation and testing. It begins by defining animal testing as using animals in experiments to test drugs before human trials. It then examines the different types of animal testing including medical, cosmetic, and psychological testing. Reasons why animal testing is done include determining drug toxicity and efficacy. However, animal testing is considered unethical by some as it causes harm, injury, and suffering to animals. The document discusses alternatives to animal testing such as using human tissues and considers whether the reasons for animal testing outweigh the moral issues. In conclusion, the document argues that many animal deaths and injuries could be prevented by exploring alternative testing methods.

- 6. Highlight the connectives? Many people believe animal testing is wrong, however, others would argue that it is a necessary part of medical research.
- 7. For and Against In the following essay highlight the arguments for each side of the issue (animal testing) in a different colour.
- 8. Animal Testing Animal testing, or animal research, refers to the use of non-human animals in experiments. It is estimated that 50 – 100 million animals worldwide are used annually and subsequently killed in scientific procedures mostly inside universities, medical schools and pharmaceutical companies. Testing is also carried out on farms, in defence-research establishments, and by public-health authorities on a variety of species from fruit flies and mice. Most laboratory animals are purpose bred, while a smaller number are caught in the wild or supplied by pounds.
- 9. Animal Testing The topic is controversial, with supporters and opponents arguing about ethical issues and whether using animal models is good or bad science. The Foundation for Biomedical Research, an American organization that “promotes public understanding and support for inhumane and responsible animal research,” writes that “animal research has played a vital role in virtually every major medical advance of the last century – for both human and animal health,” and that many major developments that led to Nobel Prizes involved animal research, including the development of penicillin (mice) and organ transplants (dogs). Whether research was necessary to achieve these results has been questioned by animal rights groups.
- 10. Connecting Ideas Now, pair an argument for animal testing with an argument against animal testing using an appropriate connective. For example: Animal testing has helped scientists test many different treatments, _______, many animals had to suffer in the process.
- 11. Applying Connectives Write down three arguments for each side of your controversial issue (totally six sentences). Connect those ideas using a connector to form three sentences that demonstrate what you have learned about using connectives. Share your sentences with a partner.
