In the piece, “Your Trusted Friends”, investigative journalist, Eric Schlosser, exposes how Walt Disney and Ray Kroc perfected the art of selling products to children. Schlosser begins the article with explaining that though Disney and Kroc were unsuccessful alone, both men knew how to motivate and find talent within their individual teams. Providing guidance and leadership, the two oversaw their separate corporations while relying on others to control the financial and creative details. Schlosser then writes that the men’s marketing efforts towards children were their most significant achievement. Their success in sales influenced the world’s largest corporations into including children in their consumer demographics.

In both Turner and Hooch and Marley and me, dogs were used as main characters to teach very valuable life lessons. In Turner and Hooch, Hooch taught his new master, Scott Turner the value of companionship. At first, Scott is fine with his life because everything is basically perfect and he is super organized.

Little do they know the unsanitary and harmful environments puppy mill bred dogs have to live in for the first period of their lives. The number of puppy mills there is in the United States have increased hugely since their early years, which were after World War II.

However, just because the puppy mill’s were on a much smaller scale does not mean they were not as cruel as today’s. The first puppy mills were built on a capitalistic mindset.
Race and ethnicity as socially-constructed categories separates friends from the same background.

I agree with Pres. Eisenhower’s statement up to a point. I do not believe you can change the hearts of men with law but you need the laws to make sure that the people who might not agree with the content of the law respects it. Once you have laws, it needs to be enforced. To change the hearts of men, it can only be done through our Heavenly Father.
One cannot fight fire with fire. While massacre reigns in Rwanda and people take betrayal to the extreme, Paul Rusesabagina in his book, An Ordinary Man, proofs how violence is unnecessary while standing against the power of the word. As Rusesabagina states, words are “powerful tools of life”(Rusesabagina, 19). The war between the two different ethnic groups, Hutus and Tutsis, and the death of thousands left a mark Rwanda’s memory; the author says: “It is the darkest bead on our national necklace” (222). Even though a large part of Rwanda’s population is massacred, many are saved by one of Rwanda’s timeless heroes.
The dog is guided by his natural instincts, and the man, on the other hand, relies on his human judgment to make
As humans, it is not our right to genetically influence an animal from natural form. Natural form is determined by observing an animal without the help of a human. Humans can choose to change the evolution of an animal by, for example, breeding purebred dogs with other purebred dogs for a higher retail price or better show quality. In this way, humans are controlling their evolution. We have grown into a race that takes what we are not given.

The book that I chose to read is by Harper Lee, ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’ The novel’s setting features the Deep South and envelops an intense portrayal of prejudice and race narrated through a little girl’s eyes. Filled with impressive evocations of American life at the peak of the Great Depression that shook the nation in the 1930s, whilst also underpinned by caring and moral susceptibility, the novel proofs as both an excellent rendering of a particular place and time as well as an all-inclusive tale of how old and wicked perceptions can be triumphed by understanding. It was published by J.B Lippincott in New York in 1960 (Topham, 2018). ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ has received both positive and negative feedbacks from a wide audience of readers.
The canines are considered as part of the family members more than as a domestic animal nowadays in most families. The bond between the animals and humans are inseparable. However, according to American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), there are approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized in every year (ASPCA, 2017). This implies that animal euthanasia is a controversial issue nowadays. There are several reasons the animals are euthanized and it depends on each case.
Mark Twain believes that dogs are superior to man because out of all animals, man is the only one that is cruel enough to inflict pain on others just for the pleasure of doing it. Twain’s short story “A Dog’s Tale”, written in 1903, displays these beliefs and is done so from a dog’s point of view. This unusual take on the story is used to help convey the theme that one shouldn’t assume the others will do the same for them. The story includes literary elements such as characterisation, structural irony and a plot and conflict. It is a story of a loyal and heroic dog which unfortunately ends in an ironic twist of fate.
In the text, “Hachiko, The Story Of A Loyal Dog” in paragraph 16 there was a sentence that gave a great example of the loyalty between a dog and a human. Hachiko, the dog, would sit at the station everyday and wait, even though his owner, Dr. Uneo, was never coming back. After weeks, months, and even years, Hachiko had been waiting for his owner at the station. He was so loyal to his owner, that he
