    Future Of Life Chapter 4-5 Summary

    While we currently have a vast knowledge of various animals and plants and what purposes we can use them for, we have to recognize that there are countless other species out there that we have little to no knowledge about that could possibly have beneficial uses. Even the species we have a deep understanding of could surprise us in the future when we have better technology to research them more profoundly. The Author is trying to convey a message about how we are just killing off potential species…

    Stewart Brand The Case For De-Extinction Summary

    I am writing in response to your request that I analyze Stewart Brand's “The Case for De-Extinction: Why We Should Bring Back the Woolly Mammoth” and make a recommendation for or against publication in The Shorthorn. I have considered the rhetorical appeals of Brand’s piece and determined that a large majority of students would find this to be unappealing due to the large amount of Christians, Catholics, Muslims, and other religious groups on campus, so therefore, it should not be published. This topic is very controversial and most likely will not persuade the UTA community in agreeing with Brand’'s viewpoints.…

    Nibert Factory Farm Summary

    We are using animals in such a horrific way that causes negative changes to the environment.We should always think what this world be if we didn’t have the things we have. We would be miserable and everything would be a competition. There’s lots of people out there working to try to make a difference in this world, but also need people to get involved. It fitted into our course goals and objective because it made me realize how much our world is so corrupt. The only thing we could do is change our ways of thinking, so we can actually live in a peaceful and stable society. Not to think, that we could lose everything in an…

    Pros And Cons Of Reviving Species By Carl Zimmer

    The possibility that mammoths, passenger pigeons, saber-toothed cats, and thylacine may roam the very earth our feet stand upon once again is a thrilling, yet apprehensive thought. Carl Zimmer proposes this very idea in his essay “Reviving Species” and gives feedback on the topic of de-extinction. According to Zimmer, de-extinction is defined as, “The notion of bringing vanished species back to life”, and he elaborates the pros and cons of actually completing this ordeal (31). Reading the differentiating views on the subject is very interesting, and caused me to think more and more as to if bringing back the extinct species is for the good or bad of our world. But as a firm believer in Christianity, I feel de-extinction is a sensitive subject and is “… playing God.”, especially if…

    Jurassic Park Argumentative Analysis

    Stuart Pimm offers a degree in Conservation Ecology from Duke University. His Argument focuses largely on humans are not ready for De-Extinction in that since humans were the ones that pushed them to disappear, they are not going to want those species back. He gives the example that “hunters at [the Pyrenean ibex] to extinction. Reintroduce a resurrected ibex to the area where it belongs and it will become the most expensive cabrito every eaten.” He notes that the problem is whether we can resurrect these species or not, but more along the lines of whether the rest of the population will accept the animals back in their original homes. He also believes that De-Extinction “seduces” those granting research money and support into thinking they are doing well when it simply gives “unscrupulous developers a veil to hide their rapaciousness, with promises to fix things later.”…

    The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History

    While one tends to have the general idea as to what’s happening around the world, it isn’t until someone comes around and tells you exactly what’s going on that you become truly aware. This thought was the first to cross my mind while I was reading The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolbert. Before getting into the details of this book review, I would like to preface it by saying that before beginning this class I had an idea of what was happening around the globe. I was not so uninformed as to say that I didn’t know the climate was changing and species were gradually disappearing, but rather I was unaware as to just how quickly this was taking place. I can say that in the back of my mind there has…

    Bringing Back the Woolly Mammoth, and Maybe More?

    It is sad to think that hundreds, even thousands of different species of animals have gone extinct over the course of planet Earth. Many people now rely on encyclopedias, movies, museums, and artists depictions in order to get a glimpse of these once living creatures of our planet. The fact that, once an animal has gone extinct, it can never come back has consumed the minds of so many that it is now second nature. Despite the impossibilities of interacting with some of the most magnificent creatures to have lived on this earth, many people still contemplate, pretend and even dream about possible communications with extinct animals, mostly those such as dinosaurs and the woolly mammoth. And yet, over the course of millions of years that this planet had been around, many people do not seem to realize that there are thousands of other animals that have gone extinct as well, 869 of those species which have been formally recorded since 1500.…

    Analysis Of The World Without Us By Alan Weisman

    In class we learn about invasive species and how they affect the species around them. We can describe humans as invasive species because we are very adaptable and grow quickly. We harm other organisms when we take over their habitat. We are killing off other species and growing. We have not yet learned to live amongst other species, and can only live off of them. This book shows us how much damage we have done to those around us and how the damage can only be completely undone by us simply disappearing forever. Also, in class we learn about biological diversity and why it is important. This book shows us that life would flourish without us, maintaining this biodiversity. We as humans are not helping the cause by killing off thousands of species and taking over their land and food. We are not helping by polluting the environment and making this planet harmful to breathe. We are not helping by contaminating the water with our fertilizer and factory runoff. The World Without Us shows us that there needs to be a change to save the planet and make it a place where everyone can live, not just…

    No to De Extinction

    Whether it is bringing people back from the dead or resurrecting an entire extinct species, for hundreds of years, scientists everywhere have had the desire and craving to try and reverse nature’s kiss of death. Modern scientists are exploring the possibility of resurrecting species, that we and our ancestors led to extinction, through the process of de-extinction or also known as “resurrection biology”. Scientists believe that this project would not only allow us to redeem our mistakes but also provide breakthroughs in the field of genetic engineering. This concept was first presented to the public in Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film, Jurassic Park that also shows how there are much greater repercussions of this experiment than there could be scientific gains. Even though these projects have purely good intentions, similarly to Frankenstein’s experiment, good intentions of a science experiment, which tampers with life and death, often have a greater chance of going south and causing more danger than benefit. Although astounding scientific breakthroughs may come to be as the result of a successful de-extinction project, there are many greater dangers that could develop for the human race through bringing back certain extinct species. While evolution may be cruel, it is never wrong therefore there was a reason for the species to have gone extinct in the first place and the natural cycle of life and death should not be tampered with artificially.…

    Statement of Qualification: I have taken a few classes in FIU, where the problem why we have so many endangered and extinct species is due to the introduction of species not native that become invasive. This is a problem because the invasive species out-compete the native species for the same resources such as food and habitat. People contribute to many species going extinct as well. They over catch a species and don’t give the species enough time to regenerate its population. These species are caught for varies reasons. To name a few, they are caught for food, decoration, and sometimes because the species is rare and has a lot of worth to it. My professor for both of the classes I took proposed we take these two problems and make it into a solution. Humans over-catch native species. This becomes a problem because they could lead the native species’ population to extinction in that habitat. However, that same problem can become the solution to a different problem. If instead of catching native species people would catch invasive species, it could fix the problem. If people found a way to make…
