M4 Profile essay Final Draft Memories for a Lifetime Every year parents are faced with the trying task of finding an activity their kids will enjoy. Families struggle to make plans that will entertain visiting relatives. New and old couples want to find an activity to enjoy while staying active. One good go to solution has always been and will always be a trip to the local zoo. Here in Nebraska we have Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo, and this place has proved itself as one of the best places to visit in any situation. When looking for an activity to do with small children the local zoo has proved itself to be more than qualified. With the multiple attractions such as the Aquarium, Butterfly Exhibit, and the Kingdom of the Night there is a wide variety of places to stop and maybe even learn a few things. The zoo has shown everyone that it truly is a great place to learn by the number of schools that visit each year on the beloved feild trip day. "My kids always look forward to field trip day. Its one of the best days of the year, even if they have to answer questions about animals and no matter how many times they have already been to the zoo" say Hope Rodriguez, mother of 5. Visiting the local zoo isnt just an activity that can be enjoyed by the youth though. " I love taking my daughter, neices and nephew to the zoo but it is nice to be able to go and not lug around multiple bags of snacks, diapers and a change of clothes for little kids. It can take me almost an entire hour just to get everyone ready to leave for the zoo. Even though it is rare I will take every chance I can to go without the little ones." Lisa Onate has only one child herself but finds it is a much more relaxed atmosphere when she doesnt have to constantly be checking to make sure she has her little ones near by. She has found that she has more of an opportunity to really see what animals she likes best and read all the signs informing her

    My initial thoughts about going having to go to the zoo for this project was that it was going to be challenging yet fun, Challenging in the sense that with my post traumatic stress disorder from the military because I have trouble being around crowds of people which is why I supposed that is why I chose to go to the Santa Ana zoo since I knew that there would be less people there, Fun in the sense that I have not been to a zoo since I was a little kid which made me excited to not only see the primate exhibit for this project but to also check out some of the other animals that were at the zoo.…

    On Wednesday September 16th of 2015, I will be going to the Smithsonian National Zoo with a group of my friends. The Zoo was founded in 1889. It is one of the oldest zoos in the world. There are 1800 animals that live in the zoo. One of the most famous spots in the zoo for tourists to see is the Giant Panda exhibit. The giant pandas recently just gave birth to baby pandas.

    Practitioners should effectively plan activities to give children the opportunity to explore, discover and investigate an activity example could be taken place outside as there is many types of nature that children will find fascinating, from activities such as this the child will gain their personal ‘understanding of the world’. When learning through play this gives the child motivation and potential as they are enjoying what they are doing.

    Virginia Living Museum

    The museum I chose to visit for my Cultural Event Report is The Virginia Living Museum. I attended 11/8/2011 with my boyfriend and his daughter. I loved the museum; it had so many different aspects to it and exhibits to see. The two exhibits I was intrigued by were The Virginia’s World of Darkness Gallery and The Virginia’s Underground Valley. The Virginia’s World of Darkness Gallery had a lot of different animals from sharks, which scare me but intrigue me, to moon jellyfish. It intrigued me because I used to go to the beaches around Virginia and would see shark fins and dolphin fins and always wonder about the animals and would love to see them in their habitat. This way you can actually see them and learn about them at the same time. There were other animals there as well like pine voles, flying squirrels, ghost crabs, bats, tree frogs, lobsters, and sting rays. They range from amphibians, aquatic life, mammals, birds, and reptiles. You can see each set of animals in their own habitat. I would definitely suggest everyone visit this museum if they are in the area.…

    Zoos appear to be fun, but as you get more in depth are they what they seem to be? If animals could talk they would answer that question with “no” but, they cannot. So, instead of them telling you the horrors of zoos, I will. In zoos, animals are forced to live in a small area and have to learn to adapt to a new lifestyle. Some animals suffer from serious problems that they would most likely not experience if they were not in a zoo. Zoos affect the animals wildlife, their natural behavior, and zoos cause injuries and deaths upon animals and humans.…

    To an outsider zoo's can appear to be various environments, harsh or beneficial, for example, but is there more than meets the eye? Many zoos will use conservation as a buzzword because it will catch attention and draw you to believe things as said in Rob Laidlaw’s, “Zoos Myth and Reality.” On the contrary, Michael Hutchins, author of “Zoos Connect us to the Real World, states there is much coverage of the positive nurturing of zoos. Overall, today zoos are more educated and take utmost care of their animals, plus 90% of accredited mammals were born in zoos, and now zoos are really striving to improve the lives of their animals.…

    Zoos have become a very hot topic of controversy in today’s world. It is common knowledge that zoos are not the natural habitats of animals. Animals around the world are held captive and kidnapped from their natural life for the duration of their lives solely for the purpose of our viewing pleasure. Zoos can be defined as “public parks, which display animals, primarily for the purposes of recreation or education,” (Jamieson, Dale). The first modern American zoos…
