i. If for whatever reason, the client and I could not find a way the works for us because I use AAT-C and needed a referral, doing it in an appropriate way. Whether that is doing it in-house with another counselor that works in my practice, or finding someone outside of my practice that fits their needs. It ties in with A.12, I am not going to abandon or neglect clients because for whatever reason it did not work out.

I want to protect my animal as much as possible and there will be warning signs that I am looking for in clients that show that they would not be safe for interacting with them. Such signs would be past animal violence, or any type of violence. Depending on my animal, they could prefer what population they like working with, and I will not subject my animal to work with populations they are not comfortable with. In the first session after I have decided the client, and their goals are suitable, and they have agreed to AAT-C, in the informed consent process advocacy for the animal will come through a lot. One of the ways will be discussing how the animal always has the right to choose the interaction with the client and with myself. Ways I will advocacy for the animal after explaining the informed consent will be reinforcing what I said whenever I see the client needs a reminder. Doing it in such a way that will not harm our relationship, and yet still protecting my animal’s rights. Power has been something I am still working on in my professional development, and working with an animal will shift the power in the room even more, and it is up to me to use the power I have as the counselor to protect every living thing within the room to the best to my ability and realizing that the animal will come first in some situations because it does not have the same power the client

Although Jeremy Rifkin, Bob stevens, and Lois Frazier have all written about their view on animals and how they are treated globally, but when bringing in animal rights groups like ASPCA and PETA, different bias and tactics are newly introduced. Of all the articles, Jeremy Rifkin uses the most credible sources such as lab studies and examples. In the article “A Change of Heart about Animals” Rifkin uses sources such as Purdue University and the European union when talking about situations. One situation he writes about is how pigs need social activity so the pigs are not “lacking mental and physical stimuli [which] hand result in deterioration of health”.

Tracy Reiman from the Tribune news service describes animal rights and cruelty during a time of racism in the United States. She explains events from the past to compare the similarities of how we have treated other people to how we treat animals today. Her persuasive method is very effective and kept me tuned in the whole time by using pathos in almost all of her examples. Reiman’s use of comparisons along with her explanations from different perspectives really make the reader think and feel a connection. This is why I strongly support Reiman’s claims on animal rights and treatments.

In the article “Using Holistic and Ethical Practices with Emotional Support Animal Requests” written by Leslie Stewart, Timothy Hakenewerth, Peter Rabinowitz, and Heather Fowler, although the guidelines and differentiating factors between service animals and emotional support animals are unclear, the text in which you receive these facts, should be incredibly clear. In this case, the article proposes that emotional support animals should not be considered service animals and should be prohibited in public areas. Whether the text promotes or degrades ESAs (Emotional Support Animals), the text should be reliable, credible, accurate, current, and have a purpose in its preaching. Stewart is clear when she says “ESAs are not service animals and

Many Americans blindly believe that animals deserve the same rights as humans, but little do they know about the differences between the welfare of animals and the rights of animals. In the article A Change of Heart about Animals, Jeremy Rifkin cleverly uses certain negative words in order to convince the readers that animals need to be given same rights as humans, and if not more. Research has shown that non-human animals have the ability to “feel pain, suffer and experience stress, affection, excitement and even love” (Rifkin 33). Animals may be able to feel emotions, however this does not necessarily mean that they are able to understand what having rights mean. While humans must accept their moral responsibility to properly care for animals,

Animals carry an important role throughout human lives every day. Humans look to animals for numerous things such as: pets, a means of production, food, entertainment, experimental means, etc. Many animals carry human like traits, which raises many arguments and different positions on the subject of whether animals deserve rights while others feel that animals are simply animals, but may have certain interests that humans are obligated to respect. The issue is that many people confuse the terms animal rights and animal welfare when there is a fundamental difference between the two that revolves around the rights that humans have to use animals. There are many animal rights organizations including but not limited to: Best Friend’s Animal Society, The Humane Society of the United States, and the largest animal’s rights movement, People for Ethical

this statement, it does not answer my question. The problem was not that the text on multicultural counseling failed to address me as an ‘ethnic’ minority or that my position was lost between the black and white, but rather, why we need to identify our selves on the basis of our ‘race’ or colour?. As I thought about my own childhood and origin, I realise that I was brought up with strong humanistic values, by both rational parents that were not ‘religious’. Although I am a Muslim and was brought up as one but with hen site I can see that I was brought up with a deeply developed conscious and inward teaching of Sufism which is the heart of Islam.

Multiculturalism, Europe’s grand experiment in expanded immigration, has failed in France. While France is known as a country of immigration, it struggles with its current identity as a multiculturalist society and its relatively recent secular principles have created what politicians are calling an ‘ethnic apartheid’. Although religious pluralism exists in France, its society has become primarily secular. As of March 2004 the French government has become a self-declared secular state, clearly stating that religious practice is strictly forbidden in public, as to refrain from instigating religious conflict or resentment. As a result, Muslim communities residing in various cities in France have become increasingly segregated from Western society.
