My first possible topic is whether pet companions affect people’s behavior? (i.e. Research on the affects of abusing animals at a younger age can lead to criminal activity and violent behavior when they grow older; Research on pets relieving stress, such as in the workplace or home environment) It would be interesting to know if cats and dogs can affect one's behavior throughout life, and the difference between their responses during a situation when with or without a pet.
My second possible topic would be about the argument from the people whom think that visit zoo’s is supporting that it is okay to watch animals in jail, and that it is wrong for them to be incarcerated like such. I believe that this helps save animals from becoming endangered or extinct, and provides shelter and food, while giving education on their behaviors, and to younger children, but I also understand that there is another side to the argument.
My third topic choice is whether animals should be given greater rights to being treated fairly, and also increase punishments given to those who abuse or torture animals. (i.e. Michael Vick case and Steven’s v. Supreme Court case). What could be done to give animals rights, and how their rights would affect society.
Hey Kristen,
ReplyDeleteI like all your topics. They're very different than what people normally write about which is cool! I like the first one because that would be interesting to know if cats and dogs affect peoples behavior. But would you be able to have enough information on that?
