1 Mrs. FAKE_NAME 15 February‚ 2012 Equality in Animal Farm “All animals are equal… but some animals are more equal than others.” The largest single struggle throughout the entire story of Animal Farm would have to be the animals struggle for equality. The animals are forced to suffer through terrible conditions under the leadership of Mr. Jones. The brainwashing effect the pigs had on the farm caused many of the animals to forget the principles of equality and accept the hypocritical nature of

Peter Singer’s animal liberation views on animal rights are wrong and he doesn’t quite get it like William Baxter. William Baxter has a more realistic view on animal rights where Peter Singer is trying to get an impossible utopia that will never exist. Peter Signers views on animal rights are that we should collectively understand that the pain of another species is no different than the pain of ours as we discussed in class. We‚ like many other animals feel both pain and pleasure‚ and are capable

better then equality? Most people may say no but others may say yes. In Aminal Farm when Napoleon gets all the power there is no more equality between the animals. In Mouseland when the mouse keep voting the cats to govern them the mice get no more equality becasue it all goes towards the cats. For both stories when there is power given in the communtity there is no more equality.

The Meaning of Equality In George Orwell’s Animal Farm‚ he examines the impact of communism and the post-war anxiety of World War II. Orwell uses allegories to thoroughly explain the pain and worry following the clash between countries. He uses farm animals and a farm to represent the major events and figures in the time of Stalinism and the Soviet Union. The animals want to “get rid of man” (Orwell 30)‚ and man stands for capitalist society. Communism‚ or “Animalism” as the animals call it‚ starts

Adam Erickson Singer’s Sticky Situation Peter Singer thinks we are too selfish with our money. In “The Singer Solution to World Poverty”‚ he proposes a solution to poverty in other countries. Singer believes that money that might otherwise be used for luxury goods should be donated to charities that help save lives in poorer countries.

In Peter Singers All Animals Are Equal‚ he claims we should give the same respect the lives of non human animals as we give the lives of humans and that all animals human and non-human are in fact equal.

For this short reflection paper I will discuss the ideas that they brought up about the ethics of factory farming‚ while at the same time bringing in my views of factoring farming and the ethics behind animal treatment. The first issue that they bring up is that‚ “Factory farms are designed on the principle that ‘animals are
