Feedlots and Animal Rights
Review chapter 10 that starts on page 240 in then online version of the text. Animal rights activists denounce factory farming because they say it mistreats animals. Chickens, pigs, and cattle are crowded together in small pens for their entire lives, fattened up, and slaughtered.
Many people believe that non-human animals themselves have rights. Most of us extend rights to our pets, such as cats and dogs. Some countries have given primates, i.e., our closest surviving kin, such as gorillas and chimpanzees, rights similar to humans. Some people think we should consider all animals to have these rights. Where do you draw the line? Is there a line?
What level of rights should we extend to our farm animals? Should they have any rights? Is factory farming cruel compared to traditional farming of animals? Is factory farming necessary for feeding the world? What are your opinions about these issues and why?
Direction: answer the following questions using the text book in 250 words at least.
Then response to two people in 150 words each response.
this is the Book:https://online.vitalsource.com/#/books/9780134446400/epubcfi/6/450%5B%3Bvnd.vst.idref%3DP7001013791000000000000000003BD8%5D!/4/6%400:0

This one is kind of hard because I’m kind of on the fence with should they and should they not. If we didn’t give farm animals rights these current conditions they live in would stay the same. Mass producing these farm animals right now may seem like its the best option to make sure that we keep up with the upkeep of meat on the market and other needs from the animals but also at what cost? Most farm animals aren’t grown on a natural farm. Most are jammed into a tiny holding area were they are forced to sleep and grow on their own feces and urine. That personally I don’t think any living thing should have to go through. I also am not a firm believer on using chemicals to enhance these animals nor the production. I understand that it increases the growing process in some instances and may even make that animal larger but then we are slaughtering these animals prematurely and processing these animals that are full of chemicals that we are then eating. I know that not much of this will change especially over the years however one thing i would like to see change for these animals in a sense of “having rights” is a good living habitat. Most farm animals especially factory farming we don’t get to give these animals that experience however this change may not even be possible as the full maturity process for some of these animals could take years and as the climate changes and some places having droughts it could also hinder these animals in other ways than these factories are.

After Reading through chapter 10 I personally think the bigger issue lies within the population growing bigger and bigger. These feedlots did not exist back in the day because of one reason and that was the population. The sanitary of these feed lots would be the biggest concern to me. I think they have improved with rules and regulations over the years but I am sure some would say it needs to improve more. Not a lot of people are going to quit eating meat and turn vegetarian because some activists are upset. I would be willing to bet some of these activists are the same ones cooking up a steak on the weekend. I think if they can improve the overall operation it is not considered animal abuse. I am a hunter and I am a firm believer in if you kill something you eat it. I believe pets that live in our home are different from porky the pig living on the farm. Home animals give us a since of security and make us happy where porky may make us some food or put some money in our pockets. I believe most pets now a days do have rights, turn the local news on I am sure someone is going to jail for animal abuse. 50 years ago the cops were not showing up because you beat your dog or its chained up in -30* weather. I do not agree with people who mistreat their own pets or farm animals and believe they should be punished for it. Farm animals should be treated fair and have some sort of normalcy while living .

Medications and ADHD

1. ADHD seems to generate more opinions in the popular press than other mental disorders. People call it overdiagnosed, underdiagnosed, a made-up disorder, a product of the pharmaceutical industry, etc. Why do you think that the ADHD receives more of this type of discussion than other disorders?
2. Medications are quite effective for ADHD symptoms. What considerations should go into deciding whether or not to prescribe these for a child with ADHD? What are the concerns related to prescription?
The PBS documentary: The medicated child
(Links to an external site.)
addresses many of these concerns. What do you think?

Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT question for your capstone project change proposal.

This is a two part assignment
Part one:

Review your problem or issue and the study materials to formulate a PICOT question for your capstone project change proposal. A PICOT question starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention used to address the problem must be a nursing practice intervention. Include a comparison of the nursing intervention to a patient population not currently receiving the nursing intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process. Formulate a PICOT question using the PICOT format (provided in the assigned readings) that addresses the clinical nursing problem.
The PICOT question will provide a framework for your capstone project change proposal.
In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.
Describe the problem in the PICOT question as it relates to the following:
Evidence-based solution
Nursing intervention
Patient care
Health care agency
Nursing practice

Is agriculture good for humans?

N3gin Njf, [26.06.21 00:46]
There are at least three sets of reasons to explain the findings that agriculture was bad for health. First, hunter-gatherers enjoyed a varied diet, while early farmers obtained most of their food from one or a few starchy crops. The farmers gained cheap calories at the cost of poor nutrition, (today just three high-carbohydrate plants — wheat, rice, and corn — provide the bulk of the calories consumed by the human species, yet each one is deficient in certain vitamins or amino acids essential to life.) Second, because of dependence on a limited number of crops, farmers ran the risk of starvation if one crop failed. Finally, the mere fact that agriculture encouraged people to clump together in crowded societies, many of which then carried on trade with other crowded societies, led to the spread of parasites and infectious disease. (Some archaeologists think it was the crowding, rather than agriculture, that promoted disease, but this is a chicken-and-egg argument, because crowding encourages agriculture and vice versa.) Epidemics couldn’t take hold when populations were scattered in small bands that constantly shifted camp. Tuberculosis and diarrheal disease had to await the rise of farming, measles and bubonic plague the appearance of large cities.

Besides malnutrition, starvation, and epidemic diseases, farming helped bring another curse upon humanity: deep class divisions. Hunter-gatherers have little or no stored food, and no concentrated food sources, like an orchard or a herd of cows: they live off the wild plants and animals they obtain each day. Therefore, there can be no kings, no class of social parasites who grow fat on food seized from others. Only in a farming population could a healthy, non-producing elite set itself above the disease-ridden masses. Skeletons from Greek tombs at Mycenae c. 1500 B. C. suggest that royals enjoyed a better diet than commoners, since the royal skeletons were two or three inches taller and had better teeth (on the average, one instead of six cavities or missing teeth). Among Chilean mummies from c. A. D. 1000, the elite were distinguished not only by ornaments and gold hair clips but also by a fourfold lower rate of bone lesions caused by disease.

Similar contrasts in nutrition and health persist on a global scale today. To people in rich countries like the U.S., it sounds ridiculous to extol the virtues of hunting and gathering. But Americans are an elite, dependent on oil and minerals that must often be imported from countries with poorer health and nutrition. If one could choose between being a peasant farmer in Ethiopia or a bushman gatherer in the Kalahari, which do you think would be the better choice?

Farming may have encouraged inequality between the sexes, as well. Freed from the need to transport their babies during a nomadic existence, and under pressure to produce more hands to till the fields, farming women tended to have more frequent pregnancies than their hunter-gatherer counterparts — with consequent drains on their health. Among the Chilean mummies for example, more women than men had bone lesions from infectious disease.

Women in agricultural societies were sometimes made beasts of burden. In New Guinea farming communities today I often see women staggering under loads of vegetables and firewood while the men walk empty-handed. Once while on a field trip there studying birds, I offered to pay some villagers to carry supplies from an airstrip to my mountain camp. The heaviest item was a 110-pound bag of rice, which I lashed to a pole and assigned to a team of four men to shoulder together. When I eventually caught up with the villagers, the men were carrying light loads, while one small woman weighing less than the bag of rice was bent under it, supporting its weight by a cord across her temples.

N3gin Njf, [26.06.21 00:46]
As for the claim that agriculture encouraged the flowering of art by providing us with leisure time, modern hunter-gatherers have at least as much free time as do farmers. The whole emphasis on leisure time as a critical factor seems to me misguided. Gorillas have had ample free time to build their own Parthenon, had they wanted to. While post-agricultural technological advances did make new art forms possible and preservation of art easier, great paintings and sculptures were already being produced by hunter-gatherers 15,000 years ago, and were still being produced as recently as the last century by such hunter-gatherers as some Eskimos and the Indians of the Pacific Northwest.

Thus with the advent of agriculture the elite became better off, but most people became worse off. Instead of swallowing the progressivist party line that we chose agriculture because it was good for us, we must ask how we got trapped by it despite its pitfalls.

One answer boils down to the adage “Might makes right.” Farming could support many more people than hunting, albeit with a poorer quality of life. (Population densities of hunter-gatherers are rarely over one person per ten square miles, while farmers average 100 times that.) Partly, this is because a field planted entirely in edible crops lets one feed far more mouths than a forest with scattered edible plants. Partly, too, it’s because nomadic hunter-gatherers have to keep their children spaced at four-year intervals by infanticide and other means, since a mother must carry her toddler until it’s old enough to keep up with the adults. Because farm women don’t have that burden, they can and often do bear a child every two years.

As population densities of hunter-gatherers slowly rose at the end of the ice ages, bands had to choose between feeding more mouths by taking the first steps toward agriculture, or else finding ways to limit growth. Some bands chose the former solution, unable to anticipate the evils of farming, and seduced by the transient abundance they enjoyed until population growth caught up with increased food production. Such bands outbred and then drove off or killed the bands that chose to remain hunter-gatherers, because a hundred malnourished farmers can still outfight one healthy hunter. It’s not that hunter-gatherers abandoned their lifestyle, but that those sensible enough not to abandon it were forced out of all areas except the ones farmers didn’t want.

At this point it’s instructive to recall the common complaint that archaeology is a luxury, concerned with the remote past, and offering no lessons for the present. Archaeologists studying the rise of farming have reconstructed a crucial stage at which we made the worst mistake in human history. Forced to choose between limiting population or trying to increase food production, we chose the latter and ended up with starvation, warfare, and tyranny.

Hunter-gatherers practiced the most successful and longest-lasting life style in human history. In contrast, we’re still struggling with the mess into which agriculture has tumbled us, and it’s unclear whether we can solve it. Suppose that an archaeologist who had visited from outer space were trying to explain human history to his fellow spacelings. He might illustrate the results of his digs by a 24-hour clock on which one hour represents 100,000 years of real past time. If the history of the human race began at midnight, then we would now be almost at the end of our first day. We lived as hunter-gatherers for nearly the whole of that day, from midnight through dawn, noon, and sunset. Finally, at 11:54 p. m. we adopted agriculture. As our second midnight approaches, will the plight of famine-stricken peasants gradually spread to engulf us all? Or will we somehow achieve those seductive blessings that we imagine behind agriculture’s glittering facade, and that have so far eluded us?

SCS 100 – Is having white people as the featured person(s) in ads better for sales/engagement

The class is Perspectives in the Social Sciences. Earlier in the term, we were given a couple of advertisements to look at. I noticed all of the advertisements had white people (specifically white women) as the featured person(s). Every ad lacked diversity. My question is, “Is having white people as the featured person in ads better for sales/engagement?” Please see the attachment for the essay requirements. Also, this is a SHORT PAPER and does not need to be super in-depth.
