I chose Peter Kürten because‚ as a serial killer‚ there’s a lot more to him than what his crimes told. Something that sets him apart from most was his sadistic tendencies‚ meaning he received sexual pleasure from inflicting pain and other brutal acts on someone.

Peter Singer’s essay The Singer Solution in World Poverty gives his opinion on how he thinks people should live in order to end world poverty.

As I began reading Chapter 8‚ I thought that animals are going to be the victims of this chapter. However‚ as I went over each page‚ it turned out that out of all living creatures entering the slaughterhouse‚ humans are treated in the most barbaric and inhuman way. I decided to write about this chapter because it brings up the issue of how privileged people in America use their power and literally turn people without those privileges into slaves. Another reason is the fact that I honestly wasn’t

For thousands of years‚ animals have been
