Animal In Sports

  Animals are creatures that bring beauty, comfort, and love into people lives. If animals get involved in any sports or entertainment that can cause deaths to them animals. Humans were once animals now there evolved. Animals should get the same respect as humans because we all were once animals before. Many different sports and other kinds of activities uses animals in a negatively way that can cause mistreatment or death. Animals have been in sports and entertainment, from Roman chariot racing up to present day hunting, racing, and circuses. If animals keep getting harm or killed in sports or entertainment that would really injure our ecosystem.

 People need to set up a balance human pleasure and animal’s welfare because human pleasure is getting out of hand about killing animals for the fun of it or of boredom. “Killing animals for sports, for pleasure, for adventure, and for hides and fur is a phenomenon which is at once disgusting and depressing. There is no justification in indulging is such acts of brutality” (Lama). Animals should get the same treatment as humans, we both are living objects, we both have life, and God didn’t bring pets on Earth just to kill them. He had brought them on Earth for comfort and enjoy. They can too feel the pain when being abandoned, and abused by being involved in sports and entertainment.

 Every kid loves to go to a circus to see tricks, magic, and animals to perform. Circuses are where children really start to love animals.  But, do they know what animals have to go through when they are entered into a circus.  Animals are getting trained to do dangerous stunts and tricks using whips, electronic goads, and sticks. They even make lions jump though a rose through fire. They could have had a lot of lions trying to do that stunt and get burnt or burn into ashes. Even the transportation for the animals to go to shows around the world is outrageous. They all get cramped up in one spot in transportation in a physically position. They are so crumbled up that most of the animals would lose oxygen and just die. That can cause diseases towards the other animals surrounded by the dead ones and that can kill the rest.  Most of the animals starve to death and try to eat any seen object or animals in sight. “Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawaken” (France). Animals should not be involved in a circus show because it lowers the population of elephants, lions, monkeys etc.

 In many people eyes animals are just a used of property all they do is get step over by the ones that don’t care. Views on animals are examples from different cultures around the world. Many Spanish people are easy to accept bull fighting where there from. They gamble on bulls to see them fight.  British people feel more enthusiasm about fox hunting and it becomes there national culture. “Many people feel drawn to advocate for animals because even though they can feel pain and suffer just as we do, they don’t have a way to advocate for their own welfare. In fact animals were viewed by many as nothing more than property to be treated however the owner wishes” (Alan). That view has created an animal situation for many of animals that share our world.

 Animals are getting capture almost every day and getting force to do tricks and other type of dangerous activities. Animals should be enjoyed and cherished and not as objects and entertainment. People should believe in treating animals with respect they should be free from the disrespect from others. Veterinarians may be tired seeing animals getting sent to them trying to get in good condition for entertainment, sickness, and others. “I hope to make people realize how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must that we will be kind and take care of their needs. They are an obligation put on us, a responsibility we have no right to neglect, nor to violate by cruelty” (Herriot). Dog fighting is the most cruelty sport that dogs die being involved in. Dogs are being locked up in cages with no food or water only a low amount of space being stuck in. Dogs become more aggressive just by being stuck into small places. This can cause a lot of deaths towards dogs.


 To sum it up animals are the physical nature of humans. They should not be involved into any type of sport or entertainment. The entire violent and illegal events that animals are into can raise the death rates of animals. If people keep killing animals were would barely have any food to eat because all of them are dead. Animals should just enjoy life like humans do they should get the same treatment as humans and stop getting harm. Training animals for dangerous stunts involves threats of pains towards the animals. Animals have a heart and a mind like humans so they should be treated the same and it should be illegal for animals to be used in sports and entertainment.

Value in The Classroom

 Value in the Classroom

     The students were doing a production for Romeo and Juliet and their  having a good time doing it. They did a lot for this production there were costume designers, a cameraman,  actors directors, writers etc. Now there was a parent that heard about The Epic Romeo and Juliet Project and had concerns about it. They’re concerns was that they didn’t think  that we were getting a full lesson about Romeo and Juliet. Instead, they feel that the students  need to sit down and read about it take notes, quizzes, or tests based on the book. But, the Epic Romeo and Juliet have a better Value in the Classroom.
   The students all had responsibilities and jobs that needed to be taken care of. They're were directors, actors, a cameraman, costume designers, print advertising, and script writers in this project. This was really a hard working project that we had to do. Actors had to memorize there lines and know there position in the production. Directors had to give us orders in what we needed to do they were in charge of this whole production. The cameraman had to film the scene of the actors performing. Print advertising had to print flyers and pictures containing to the production. All jobs needed to be completed. But the parent doesn’t understand that they're 14 and 15 year old teenage freshman’s in high school trying to make a movie. Its not a easy assignment to accomplish its worth more then 3 test grades. Its better then sitting in the classroom bored testing all day about Romeo and Juliet.
  If they had just sat in the classroom just testing all day we would have been bored out of our mind. There nothing wrong with taking a test but it gets boring after a while so we tried something new. Mr. Provenzano  and Van Meter high school came up with making a production about Romeo and Juliet. It was a brilliant idea that they came up with. This whole project needed teamwork. They always say “Teamwork make Dreams work.” This project made a lot of friends because they had to communicate to each other and help each other out in where we needed to be in the production. Without this project most people would still be in the back of the class quiet not talking to anybody.
 There were technology tools that were  use to help them in the project such as Skype, Kid Blog, twitter, Tumbr, Wiki, and Flicker. One of the most technology that was use the most was Skype because they  had to see where Van Meter were at in the production  so they was all on track. Another was the Wiki because it had set up the dates about what time the students needed to be to a certain place to film. They had a discussion question that  needed to complete to let Mr. Provenzano to know where they were at about Romeo and Juliet. This had built  responsibility skills for the project and life.
  Everyone was involved in this project. Every 9th grade class had to participate somehow in this production. Most people in the production had clubs, sports and other activities that they were in when we were doing this project. But they had to take one for the team. Meaning that they needed to skip a few practices and games to do they’re scene in the play. They’re grade is more important then the practices and games without grades really you wont make it anywhere in life unless your famous. Anyways this whole project was much better then sitting in a classroom reading and taking testes.

 Leadership is the process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a task. That was the #1 thing that they needed in the project. If there was not a  leader this whole project would be a mess. Most of the students never was a leader but when we did this production they became a leader. This project also gave  friendships and memories. This is going to be a memory for the students because it brung them  all together into one in trying to make a movie. But to the parent that was concern about this project. Sitting in a classroom all day reading testing with no fun is depressing. There should have fun in what people do in their everyday life and this was one of them. School is more than testing.
