Recommended: Temple Grandin and the cause of autism

I want to start out by saying I have seen this movie several times and it happens to be one of my favorites! Dr. Temple Grandin has opened so many doors not only in the Cattle industry but for people with Disabilities as well! She used her autism as a way to see and feel what the cattle see and feel so she could then design a system to make the butchering process less stressful on the animal. “Cattle are prey animals and my autism allows me to understand prey animals well. I can visualize the flight zones of cattle.” I believe that this quote, this fact was the key to Dr. Grandin’s success!
Watching this movie reminded me of how cruel not only children but people in general can be. The amount of ridicule, teasing and taunting that Temple …show more content…

For example I will use my heifer “Sassy” and babies. Sassy for the longest time HATED and I mean hated babies, toddlers pretty much anyone younger than about age 7. She was ever around them, they scared her, she would see a little one and she would think danger. Sassy and little ones is no different than Temple and the automatic doors, she would see an automatic door and automatically an image of a midlevel guillotine would pop in her head. It was scary because she never had been around them. New things can set a person with autism off because of how sensitive they are cattle are the same way in the movie a sheet hanging on the closet door freaks temple out and she has a “ moment” when cattle experience new things it sometimes can spook them. Which then makes me wonder if working with people with autism is like working with “Green Broke” show cattle. You can get a lot accomplished as long as you don’t rush it. You introduce them to new things

I cannot express enough how overwhelmed and surprised I was while reading this book. It opened my eyes and mind to things beyond my imagination. The more I dug into the mind of Higashida, the more I learned about autism and the people around me. Higashida does an amazing job at explaining what it is like in the mind of a person with autism, “many children with autism do not have the means to express themselves” (pg. 4). Naoki is the voice of so many people, and we are finally being able to hear

There is an important question many people today wonder; I found that there are several people who see how showing livestock affects kids in school and in life. I chose this topic because so many people think that showing livestock is just a waste of time and money, but they have no idea what it entails. Other people don’t realize that showing livestock isn’t about the money or just having a pet. I am writing this paper because everybody should know that showing isn’t about having a pet, it’s about gaining responsibilities and learning new things that can help you later in life. Showing livestock helps children go farther in life because it teaches them more responsibility, they work harder, and they never give up on their dreams.

Human beings with autism have said that the world, to them, appears to be a mass of events, people and places which they contend to make sense of, and which can cause them considerable anxiety. To be specific relating and understanding to other people, and taking part in everyday social life and family may be a bit challenging for them. Other people appear to know, intuitively, how to communicate and interact with each other, and some people with autism may wonder why they are different. People with autism have challenges with both non-verbal and verbal language. Many of them have a literal understanding of language, and think people always mean exactly what they say.

The article “Is It Possible to be a Conscientious Meat Eater,” written by Sunaura Taylor and Alexander Taylor, looked like a very convincing argument. “Is It Possible to be a Conscientious meat eater” discusses that processed meat is bad for the world, and how it affects us and our surrounding environments in a negative outcome. The one thing I enjoyed reading from this article was the supportive use of evidence through facts to support the author’s thesis statement. However I would argue that the authors, when writing this, didn’t do a thorough job on keeping the subject professional, detailed, unbiased, and citing the sources for their information.

One prominent example is when, before the rebellion, an old boar named Major expresses his wishes for the farm, “And remember also that in fighting against Man, we must not resemble him. Even when you have conquered him, do not adopt his vices” (8). This is important because he directly reveals the rest of the plot of the book in that statement. Major goes on to point out that an animal should never drink alcohol, sleep in a bed, wear clothes, or live in a house, which all of the pigs end up indulging in. “When the boulder began to slip and the animals cried out in despair at finding themselves dragged down the hill, it was always Boxer who strained himself…

Personal attitudes towards people with a disability would have strongly influenced the town of Endora’s behaviour to Arnie. Music played in the film was soft and may have been used to make the audience feel sympathy towards Arnie because he has a disability. However, Hallstrom’s analysis of people with autism cannot be completely accurate as in the film it never recognises that people with autism are highly intelligent in the creative field. Recent studies are shown that the way people perceive creativity and people with autism should be reconsidered. The research article concludes that the authors found that “Autistic people tend to be superior to non-autistic people in many tasks that require processing large amounts of information, picking out details of objects or scenes, or detecting changes in the environment.”
