Imagine that you live in a world where the days and nights aren’t constant, you are fed a couple of times a day but you have never had anyone there to nurture you. You have never felt the warmth of the sun on your back nor a breath of fresh air. You have lived your whole life frenzied, frightened and suffocated. What I have just portrayed is one of the worlds worst ghettos. You are familiar with the beings which grow in these conditions. It is the meat you eat. Modern day factory farms not only mistreat these animals but they also produce environmental dangers and detrimental diseases which can affect everyone regardless of whether or not you are consuming these products.…
Thesis: As stated by the “Food & Water Watch” Animals in Factory Farms are loaded with antibiotic-resistant bacteria, are mistreated and forced to live in unnatural, in humane, and unhealthy conditions, and the many communities that have to deal with air and water pollution caused by nearby Factory Farms.…
Over the last few decades farming animals for food has grown and evolved into a highly efficient, streamlined industry known as factory farming. Factory farms are owned and operated by big corporations, and despite the fact they make up only a small percentage of farms in the United States, they are responsible for most of the meat and eggs we consume here (Sierra Club, 2005). In factory farming, baby piglets are castrated without anesthesia and thrown into a pen, where they huddle in a corner writhing in pain. Egg laying chickens are crammed four or five to a cage (45x50cm) for their entire lives. They cannot spread their wings or stretch out in any way, and they never see daylight. To prevent them from pecking at one another, their beaks are brutally burnt or sliced to a stub. To produce veal, newborn calves are confined in small crates and restrained to allow a minimum of movement until they are slaughtered at just five months old. Factory farmed animals are treated like non-living commodities, suffering horrendous cruelties to produce the maximum profit at the least amount of cost. In recent years public awareness about factory farming conditions has grown, and so have concerns over animal cruelty and public health. The general public should not tolerate animal cruelty in the factory farming industry because it is extremely inhumane to animals and it represents a growing health hazard for human beings; instead, consumers should put pressure on the industry to change the way animals are treated and to ensure farms do not pose a threat to public health.…
Most people's initial instinct when they think about livestock is to imagine cows roaming in expansive green fields, living in harmony with the pigs and chickens that stick close to the barn to be fed and taken care of by loving farmers. But, sadly the reality of the industry does not satisfy the imaginations and the practices of small farms that have the time and consideration to treat living creatures with the dignity they deserve. When speaking of livestock factories the animals have become product and with product corporations tend to do everything to make their product the most profitable it can be, even if it is at the expense of lives. The list of horrifying atrocities the factory farm industry commits everyday is far longer than any essay could cover but a few…
They have a very unnatural life. The animals do not get the experience of a normal farm animal. What I mean is that the animals barely get to go outside and do regular things. The animals are treated cruelly on a factory farm.…
Less painful methods of killing animals could be employed. This may increase the cost of meat to the consumer, but the increased utility for the animals will far outweigh this cost. Animals reared in factory farms live in cages, crates, or other confined spaces that do not allow them to move and turn around. These animals suffer injury and bruising from rubbing against the cages, wires and walls of their enclosures. They are forced to live in cramped, overcrowded quarters, surrounded by their own waste.…
Factory farming is one of the most controversial topics talked about around the world. Most people just believe their perfectly packaged meat from the supermarket comes from a normal farm. Little do they know, it’s much more than that. Consumers have no idea what animals go through just for them to have a great chicken or steak dinner. Jessica Leader of the Huffington Post states, 99% of the meat in the United States comes from factory farms. (Leader, paragraph1). Factory farming according to Webster’s Dictionary is a farm on which large numbers of livestock are raised indoors in conditions intended to maximize production at minimal cost. This doesn’t sound so hurtful or damaging, but according to the Huffington Post,…
Our society is showered with happy animals living on a farm where the cows graze in lush green fields and the chickens have the run of the barnyard. This free-roaming image of an animal living out their days in sunny fields is far from reality. A majority of the animals that are raised for food live miserable lives in confined, dark, overcrowded facilities, commonly called "factory farms."…

PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…

Is the future of America,specifically young adults, in jeopardy due to the spiraling costs of higher education and associated student loans?
