Animal Experimentation Unit


The unit that I most enjoyed was the one regarding Animal Experimentation, especially because the persuasive paper that we were asked to write using the different articles relating the topic was the most hard that I had to write before the Research Project.
I must admit that I had a hard time trying to connect what was said in the articles with my own approach to the topic, and I must admit that I like suffering. I think that the Persuasive summary was a good training for the paper we are now working on. In my case, all the written tasks we are asked to do are helping me to improve how to connect the ideas that I want to capture on the paper in a most understandable way. It´s not really my style to say things directly, but I´m really enjoying learning how to write in different ways.
And, I must also admit that after working on this topic, and after some years of doubts and meeting vegetarians (including my mother) I have decided not to eat meat anymore. For the moment I´ve been 10 days without tasting any animal that doesn´t come from the sea!

I agree with you,Tomas. When I began to write persuasive essay in advanced one, I also had a very hard time on it. But after the beginning part, believe me, you will feel much better to figure out how to use the useful information from all the task and connect them with your own ideas, and then to write a very well organized persuasive essay...

You want to become vegetarian ... All I can wish you is to be carefull in the way that you will eat... A lot of pinuts :)

"Animal Rights" was an interesting topic but without any possibility to find a 100% sure or comfortable answer.

Come on man, you will die..hehehe..im kidding.
Actually, i agree with you. I think that Animal Experimentations unit is one of the most useful units in Advanced level two as we had a lot to do in it. However, i could hardly remember that both of us were in the same team in the debate and we were against and also, we were not sure of our position..hehehe.. we were in the middle. Thanks man to be my partner....:-D

I did not talk to you in this unit on that topic...I did not know your position and opinion...That's the only unit I did not get any information from you. And you have decided not to eat meat any more? Wow~our text book influenced you pretty much. By the way, does your picture mean that people might be in the experimentation one day?

Ei Jarno,
The performance is not reacting against the use of animals in medical research (though I guess they are against) but against eating animals.
