Recommended: Jurassic park ethical issues

I do not agree with the proposal to open Jurassic Park. The person who brought this concept to life was John Hammond, the owner and founder of InGen Corporation. John Hammond was portrayed as greedy, which impacts his judgement wholly. I do not believe that Hammond is a very logical person, as he seems much too financially invested in his park to worry about plausible complications. He acts blindly and naïvely, as he continued to believe that nothing could go wrong in his park. All of the technology within the park was considered to be top of the line, which led Hammond to believe that the computers had the capacity to run the park, with little to no human assistance involved. However, this park was depicted as unsafe, as previously expressed by both Ian Malcolm and Alan Grant. …show more content…

Hammond does not believe that what he’s doing could be understood or recognized as an ethical issue. I sincerely believe that Hammond’s proposal is unjust and irresponsible. This plan to open a park with prehistoric animals presents a moral issue to society. His greed influences his judgment in his entirety, which impacts his thinking in a way that can only possibly have catastrophic effects for the park and everyone involved. Throughout the book, he chooses to ignore Malcolm’s sensible and practical judgment, which I do not deem as acceptable. If Hammond had listened to Malcolm, he could’ve saved many human lives, including his own. He was depicted in Jurassic Park as a greedy and reckless individual, and for reasons stated formerly, is why I wholeheartedly oppose Hammond’s

In the testimony before the House Committee on the Public Lands on June 1913, Pinchot (an advocate for conservationists) stated that “the use of the park will be enormously increased” (Pinchot and Raker 2).  This means the the ability to have multiple use of the land can allow the government to create more than just an attraction site, but also create activities and different things people can do there for a price. Also in the testimony before the House Committee on the Public Lands on June 1913, Pinchot also stated that “the national park will be visited by a very large number of  people who cannot visit them now” (Pinchot and Raker). This gives government the opportunity to make money, because people would pay money in order to see the beauty of the land now that it is cleared up.

A question that has been asked by many is, how much money are the national parks worth? In the article, "Americans Think National Parks Are Worth Way More than We Spend on Them," Linda J. Bilmes and John Loomis conducted a study to find out how much Americans think parks are worth (Bilmes and Loomis). Their research concluded that Americans would put a value of ninety­two billion dollars on national parks, monuments, seashores, and recreation areas yearly (Bilmes and Loomis). With only receiving three billion dollars annually, "that amount is inadequate to maintain and invest in asset valued at over ninety billion dollars (Bilmes and Loomis)."

I hope the federal government makes the right decision on making this a National Park. Come on, it would be amazingly exciting, and it would bring more money to our country if you thought about it. I thought the government was all about the people? If so, think about the people this time and make this

Poetic Justice in Jurassic Park Poetic justice is an outcome in which evil is punished and kindness is rewarded. This can be found in Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, a story in which a crazed scientist, John Hammond, assembles a team of top scientists to recreate extinct dinosaurs to use as attractions at his amusement park. In Jurassic Park, Ed Regis, John Hammond, and Dennis Nedry are perfect examples of poetic justice and are rightly punished. One character to suffer from poetic justice is John Hammond, the owner of InGen.

I believe that SeaWorld should close down because, animals are kept in captivity which is harmful to the orcas. True SeaWorld is a wonderful place to visit, it’s a great place to go and get entertained, but what you might not know is that it is hurting the animals. Keeping the orcas in tanks and cages is very dangerous because when they are let out, their could be very dangerous and can be very grumpy and aggressive. The truth is that the orcas are taken from the pod from the wild and are brought to the SeaWorld. Therefore, when they arrive at SeaWorld, they are expected to make friends with other orcas and become a pod.

Poetic Justice, an outcome in which vice is punished and virtue is rewarded usually in a manner peculiarly or ironically appropriate for instance when humans attempt to control nature and are justly punished. This can be found in Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, a story in which a crazed scientist, John Hammond, assembled a team of top scientists to recreate extinct dinosaurs to use as attractions at his amusement park. In Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, Ed Regis, John Hammond, and Dennis Nedry were rightly punished. One character to suffer from poetic justice is John Hammond, the owner of InGen. Throughout Jurassic Park John Hammond is deceptive, selfish, and misleading which is wrong because although what he did wasn’t very serious it could have gotten worse over time and he could have begun to lie about serious situations and end up committing a crime, therefore, he had to die before he caused someone to be someone to be

Simeraly, in Jurassic Park, Dr. Ian Malcom brings up his concerns regarding the park with John Hammond, Malcolm says, “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't step to think if they should.” Malcolm calls out both Hammond and his scientists for not weighing the consequences of the park becoming open to the public and how it could harm society. Malcolm accuses them all of being so consumed with excessive pride and seeing if they would be able to create dinosaurs, that they didn't stop and think whether it would be a good idea or not and why it could lead to even more negative consequences. When first shown the lab, Malcolm warns Hammond and his scientists of the consequences of the creation of life, saying “ ‘If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it's that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously.’ ”

As well as, SeaWorld’s money is dropping at a very fast rate. Seaworld should be closed to end the companies dropping of money completely, to let the animals’ live free lives, and to save the Orcas.

This statement is true. In the book John Hammond is so preoccupied with whether or not he can clone dinosaurs he never asks himself whether or not it is a good idea.

Then, Goodall uses the phrase "There are many ethical issues, which we seldom face up to, whenever an animal is killed" (paragraph 11,first sentence) he utilizes these words to empower and motivate the readers to think more in depth about the issue and also to make some changes. While Goodall states her point of view she builds a strong relationship with the audience. This text is extremely effective because it gives the audience and future readers a backdrop of trophy hunting.

So what does that really say about zoos and sea-parks? Ultimately, zoos and sea-parks should be banned. The limited space given to animals is not enough for any of them, it is like being imprisoned. The enclosures lack plenty of the nature found in wildlife.

I have been to Yellowstone and while I am not a huge outdoors person being at the top and looking down it is an amazing view, and I cannot imagine see that ruined. The debate about national parks is a trivial one because there is no right or wrong answer to the debate. Do you preserve it so it will always be in it natural beautiful state, or do you use it and enjoy it now for the activities you want to and not worry about what negative affects it will cause? How do you decide which side is right and which is wrong? Layzer quotes former NPS Director George Hartzog: “What are the parks for”?
