Animal Testing:

In our days many doctors do research to make a new medication for a sick people, they use animals, especially mousse in this research.
Many people do demonstration against this research, but they don’t stop that.

These researches are important because there are so many people that need a special medication to be cured from a special disease.
In the test we can discover a new disease and try to prevent this influence on people.

But all this things can be discover after along and hard research on animals, in the test the animals suffer from a abusing, they been cut lot, stay without food or water.
In most or the testing the animals died, the research hurt they right to live.

I think that is very important to a medication to save a sick people, but we need to search a new way for this thing.
I love animals and I am against this suffer.

The captivity of animals in zoos

Many people regard the zoo as just another place to spend an afternoon, but the zoo is actually a very important place for good and for bad.

The zoo has a few very positive functions; first, the animals that are kept there are being taken care of, fed and sheltered and they don't have to worry about their survival like they have to do in the wild.
Also, the fact that so many different animals are being seen and loved every day by so many visitors helps in teaching people and children about nature and the wild life of the planet, and raises awareness to the dangers that some animals suffer because of human beings, like hunting, destruction of rain-forests and more. The awareness that the zoos are helping to create could save many wild animals.
Another good thing about the zoo is that zoos can take care of endangered animals and help their numbers grow until they can be released back into nature.

In spite of all these good things about the zoo, we must remember that zoos are prisons for animals that are taken from their natural homes. The animals have to live in small cells and they can't behave like they would in nature.
Visitors to the zoo may see the animals as entertainment only and not really care for them.

In my opinion in order to save the wild life in this plant we have to have zoos that will educates people about the amazing species that share our world. But we must make sure that we keep the animals in the best and most comfortable conditions so that they don’t suffer.

assay - A code for school life - shaked gottlieb

Nowadays, in schools, the rules haven't changed much from before.
But today, the school strictness on the rules is less found then it used to be.
On the one hand, less strictness has many advantages: The children start developing relationship with the teachers, the pupils get a second chance and the pupils start being more gentle because the teachers treat them in a gently way.
On the other hand, when there is no enforcement of rules, the child that had done a bad thing can repeat the act because he has nothing to be afraid of. The pupil can receive a wrong message that what is forbidden, is actually permitted. When the teacher himself doesn't enforce the regulations, the pupil can see him as a less authoritative character. Pupil who ignored the school rules and haven't been punished might be a role model for the other pupils. On my opinion the school should follow its rules properly, because if it wouldn't, the rules will have no meaning to the pupils and it will cause a total chaos in the school. In order to keep things right and well balanced, the school has to enforce his rules.

The captivity of animals in zoos

A zoo is a place that exhibits wild animals to entertain and teach people about animals. The animals include mammals like elephants, lions, giraffes, monkeys and beards, rodents such as squirrels, gerbils and rabbits, reptiles and unusual birds. People like to visit the zoo but it isn’t always good for the animals.

On the one hand it can be good because the animals don’t need to hunt for food. Also children learn about animals. They can feed some of the animals, photograph them, play with them and ride on some of them.

On the other hand it's difficult to find many positive things because it's not good for the animals. It is difficult for animals to procreate in a zoo.
They are taken from hot weather to cold weather and from cold to hot. They are not in their natural environment, they are usually caged. In some zoos however, they are in their natural environment like the lions in the safari park in Ramat Gan.
The many people that stare at them might bother them.

In my opinion, animals shouldn't be caged in a zoo because of the reasons that I wrote up and because I think that it is the virtue of the animals to be free and live the way they want to.

Assay about cellular phones and computers:

Cellular phones and computers- Assay:

Cellular phones and computers are useful means for our life.
The computers help us to update and the cellular phones help us to keep on connection from anywhere.
There are positive and negative things in cellular phones and computers using.

The cellular phones are useful means; they help us to stay on connection with our friends and families anywhere.
We can go to anywhere we want and nevertheless talk with who that we want.
The computers are helping us to stay on connection too and in addition to update in important things like news.
The computers can help us in collection information and preparing works and projects, the information is easy to get.

Therefore the using in cellular phones and computers is beneficial and worthwhile.
Although the efficiency of cellular phones and computers, there are some negative things.
The cellular phones are instrument that have radiation. The radiation isn't beneficial even dangerous.
Lot of using in cellular phones expose people to radiation and endanger them healthy.
The computers' negative thing is that the information is too easy to get, because of that people become lazy.

In my opinion, the computers and the cellular phones using is important and help, but we should use him in certain extent.

Assay

In our world there are a lot of places that make fun for people. One of these places is a zoo. In this place people can see a real animal in a cage, feed them and learn about them.
On the one hand the zoos are sometimes imprison a rare species, that there are only few animals from this species all over the world, and if the zoo can't imprison this species and take care this animals, maybe this species will be destroy from our world. The other animals in the zoo are living in a captivity, but they are get everything they need without do anything, they get food, water, place to rest, anther people from their species and if they seek there is a veterinarian that heal them. Another important reason is that in zoos we can do scientific research on the animals and to learn about them.
On the other hand, the animals in zoos are live in captivity, not in original home territory, where any living creature wants to live. The zoos get them out from their original way to live, they shouldn't hunt, they don't have a big places to leave in them as they have in the nature, and they do all the thing different then they do this thing in the nature.
In summary, I think that we should continue captivity animals in a zoo, I think that there are more advantages then disadvantages, and we should continue do it.

Animal testing

Animal testing is a use of animals in scientific experimentation. Many different organizations are doing experiments on animals, for researches in the fields of medicine, psychology, cosmetics and detergents. This issue is a very complex issue, and there are a lot of opposite opinions about it among the public and among scientists in particular.

On the one hand, Testing on animals has helped develop vaccines for many life threatening diseases. The cure and the vaccine for AIDS were discovered by animal testing; also, most of the development in finding a cure for cancer is based on animal testing. For a fact, the animal testing is required in order to make a progress and advances in the field of medicines.

On the other hand, there is a big ethical problem about this issue. The animals, which are forced into these experiments, are suffering intense pain and usually being held under disgraceful conditions. Almost all the animals are being killed after the experiments, if the experiment itself didn't kill them. In fact, every minute an animal dies as a result of an experiment - just in the United States. Also, the animal's body reacts differently from the human's body, so the results are sometimes misleading and can be very harmful for the human's body.

My opinion is mixed. On the one side, I think the experiments are very cruel for the animals. On the other side, I understand that there are sometimes significant experiments, that are obviously can't be tested on humans. In summary, I think scientists should minimize the animal experiments that made for the cosmetic industry; and do the combination of the serious, important, practical experiments, with appropriate conditions for the animals.

for and against
animals testing

We share our world with animals, when we "control" the world.
That’s why, when a new product, like medicines and cosmetics, is invented, and we want to be sure it is not dangerous, we try it on animals.

On one hand, those products must be checked, before letting the people of the world use it.
In order to check it we must try it on something or someone.
We don't want to test it on humans because we don’t want to risk their lives, so our only possibility is to try it on animals.
In the past, scientists have found medicine for hard disease, like cancer and aids, thanks to those animals testing.

On the other hand, animals are important for the environment of the world and protecting the circle of life.
Animals are living creatures too, and we must protect their lives as well as we protect human lives.
Animal testing is cruel and unethical. It can make those animals vanish; hurt their lives, the nature, and eventually us.
Furthermore, testing the product on animals doesn’t always give a precise result.

On my opinion, we should stop the testing on animals.
I think the scientist that invent the product should know what materials are danger and what are not, and that way it will be no need for any animals testing.
Furthermore, with the technologic we have these days, if we do want to test those product, we can take one cell from the human body and test it on it.
That way, no human and no animal get hurt, and the results are more precise.

Animals Testing

Most of us have pets. Pet like a member family. Pet that provide us love when we come back home after a hard day. A cute, intelligent and friendly pet. A pet that will be never exchanged by us for what fortune in the world. But it turns out that not everyone thinks like this. There are companies that sacrifices animals to improve their productions and earn more money. Companies that think a shampoo or a soup is more important then a life of an animal. Although there are companies that found replacement for the animals, still there are some that prefer use "the real thing".

On the one hand sacrifices animals for the science donate for the development and promise that we will use the best product and will get the best results. That testing is happening in order to confirm our safety and that there is no danger to use the products.

On the other hand we need to consider the poor animals that suffering and sometimes even die. Animals do not deserve them die with a lot of pain. Instead of running in the wild, animals are caged and wait their turn to die. Animals that have no things to wait for, except the end that will redeem them from their pain.

In my opinion animals shouldn't be used for testing. Although it's important to concern our safety, I don't think it needs to come on animals' life. There are replacements to the animals and I think it's enough. Animals' duty isn't take care our life. Animals' duty is to run in the wild without think about their pain and suffer. I think there are nothing important then a life. If it a human's life or animal's.

Essay- Captivity of Animals in Zoos

Keren O.

Zoos are used for learning information about animals. There are people who think that zoos are a good way for meeting all kinds of animals first hand. There are people who think that zoos are harming animal's independence and abilities. In their opinion, people and children can learn about animals not necessarily in zoos, but rather by television or computer.

On the one hand, zoos are a great way for learning about animals.
Zoos are introducing us all kinds of the animals, that we can watch their behavior with our own eyes, and not by T.V. or computers.
Also, zookeepers are taking care of the animals’ health and they are keeping the animals' environment tidy and clean. In addition, the zoos can re- export rare animals to their original home territory.

On the other hand, animals are not intended for life in captivity.
When an animal is captured, it loses its survival abilities and its self- sufficiency. Moreover, animals in zoos don't have enough space to run and spend energy. In addition, guests in zoos are feeding animals with food that is endangering to the animals and consequently, the animals may die.
In my opinion, capturing animals in zoos is destroying the nature of the animals, because an animal in a cage is behaving differently then an animal in its home territory.
