I can write a paragraph about volunteers people






            Nowadays, there are not enough volunteers to help poor people. Our society needs people or institutions that help other people and the government has the obligation to implement new programs to help poor people.
 
 
 
 
Also, there are institutions that are dedicated to social programs and have many volunteers working. Many people and animals need help and we can do many things. For example, helping people in hospitals, feeding stray dogs, donating money to shelters, etc. I think if everybody helps poor people, our society could be better.

I can write an essay to answer the question: If scientist created a pill that would allow you to live twice as long while remaining free of infirmities, woul you take it? why or why not?





 
Nowadays, people are worried about living longer and they are taking conscience at having a good lifestyle. People exercise their body, mind and eat healthy food. Also, thanks to science, scientists would create a pill that allows people to live twice as long without infirmities. From this personal perspective, I believe in taking a pill to live longer without infirmities in order to achieve goals.

 
People want to have more time to do many things or punctual things. If people took a pill to live twice as long without infirmities, they would achieve their goals. For example, they could try different careers or learn new languages to travel around the world. Also, they could try distinct jobs to know what the best job is. Therefore, people couldn’t be worrisome about getting more time to resolve utterly a problem. They could have more time to resolve many problems.  
 
As a result, people would have a lot of awesome benefits if scientists created a pill. People could achieve their goals and watch future generation grow up. Also, people could experience new changes in their life using new technologies in the future.
I can write an essay to answer the question: Did Villa and Lulu act on instinct?


VILLA
 
 
 
 
LULU


Villa and Lulu are amazing animals because they saved their owners. Also, they were not trained to help people but had an excellent behavior. From this personal perspective, I believe that Villa and Lulu acted on instinct for two reasons. First, animals are not intelligent. Second, animals have skills that make their training easy.
 

Animals are not able to think because they don’t have the capacity to understand the concept of reality. Therefore, animals can’t evaluate different factors to make a good decision. In fact, Villa and Lulu acted on instinct because they didn’t know what could happen if they didn’t help their owners. In addition, animals are not intelligent.
 

The majority of animals seem intelligent but they are not intelligent. Animals are trained to do a specific task or trick. For example, dogs can sniff luggage and signal when they find drugs or explosives. In this case they are candidates to be wonderful animals.


As a result, it is difficult to affirm that animals are not intelligent because they do amazing things. According to some researches, people can’t confuse intelligence with training and people can’t measure animal intelligence in terms of human intelligence.

I can write a summary and my personal reaction of the video "Living Longer Living Better"


"Living Longer Living Better"




According to the video “Living Longer Living Better”, scientists try to determinate why some people live longer that another and in line with some researches conducted show that people can live longer for two reason. First, the genes are the key that people can live more years; if members of the family have lived longer, it is probably that their offspring would live longer, too. Also, genetics are responsible of how long we should live. Second, the environment where people live and their behavior are vital to prolong life. People have to be vigorous in exercise their body and mind. Also, they punctually have to eat their food and avoid being worrisome. They have to have a life utterly healthy and simultaneously be in shape. In conclusion, the genes and the environment and behavior are the keeps to live longer.
 
 

 

Opinion

 
I agree about the researchers explain, having genes that prolong our life and having a good diet are fundamental to live longer. Therefore, the environment where we live influences our lifetime.
 
 
 
 
 
I can write a paragraph about whether I agree or disagree with Bioethicist Daniel Callahan.
 
To live longer
 
 
 


I believe in extending life, and if the scientists permitted it; that’s excellent. I don’t agree with Bioethicist Daniel Callahan for the following reasons. First, the science is advancing in leaps and bounds and people cannot stop it. Also, the science is immeasurably and people have to use it to their benefit and one of them is living longer. Maybe our society is not prepared but through the time it will have an awesome change. For example, our society could become more tolerable about some beliefs. In the case of marriage and family, people could have the same behavior that now; if they are in love, they could decide to stay together lifetime, but if it doesn’t work or is insufferable, the divorce is common. Another case is the work, our society could segment jobs to different kind of ages and people couldn’t have problem in define who older or younger is. Second, nowadays, people do not have time to do many things and if they have more time they could do things simultaneously. People could try new careers, study new languages or travel around the world. In conclusion, to live longer is a good way to improve our life and inherit new values and teachings to our future generation.

I can write a summary and my personal reaction of the video "Animal Intelligence"

Apes: Animal Intelligence
 




The video “Animal Intelligence” presents how an ape have the capacity to learn different symbols through a lexigram and how it can learn English too. Scientists explain the apes can learn most easy if they are trained young. Also, the apes have skills to learn quickly if they are motivated when do an specific exercise, in the video, the trainer gives a cup of coffee to the ape called “Consi” when it recognized a word “Coffee”. Finally, scientists can evaluate the apes’ intelligence through those exercises and these studies attributed knowledge that help scientists understand how the animal intelligence is.

 
 
 

In my opinion, it is a good way to train animals and measures the level of intelligence in animals. According to some scientists, the apes are candidates to be trained most easy, and the studies made affirm that they can learn quickly. In conclusion, through different kind of methodologies made in animals, we can understand the animal intelligence.

I can paraphrase some sentences from reading one (How smart is Smart?)


How smart is Smart?


1.            Ever since the embarrassment of Clever Hans, psychologists have been extremely wary of falling into the same trap. They are ready to call upon the “Clever Hans phenomenon” whenever an animal seems to be exhibiting intelligent behavior.



 
a.       Hinshaw mentions that psychologists are very cautious about to be deceived again. They don’t recognize the Clever Hans ability and thinks that it was a shame, also they are willing to name “Clever Hans phenomenon” any creature seems to have intelligence.
 
b.      Hinshaw believes that Clever Hans ability was not recognize by psychologists who are very cautions to be duped one more time about Clever Hans intelligence.

 

 

2.      Many scientists believe that dozens of different talent are a part of intelligence. In fact more than a hundred factors of intelligence have been written about in scientific literature.

 
 
 

a.       Hinshaw states that several researches conclude that skills are part of intelligence and a lot of its components are part of intelligence. Also, there are many books about intelligence.
 
b.      Hinshaw writes that there are a lot of components form part of intelligence like talents, skills, etc and they are written in several books.

I can write a summary about Extreme Perception an Animal Intelligence.


 Extreme Perception and Animal Intelligence



In the excerpt from, Extreme Perception and Animal Intelligent, authors Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson are concerned how psychologists affirm that people who believe animals are intelligent are deluding themselves. The authors state that many animals have extreme perception; like dogs that are very good sniffing out contraband, drugs or detect explosives in place where human can’t. That’s mean dog are using advanced perceptual abilities to solve a problem, no dogs was born knowing how to solve or how they can act in a certain problem. When the ability is part of the animals, they are considered intelligent but not confused intelligence with training. On the other hand, animals can’t predict something before it starts; animals are trained to act after something starts. According to the authors, only 10 percent of animal owner said that animals can predict something, in the majority of cases are convulsion, heart attack, etc. Authors conclude that animals who do things incredible are very intelligent, the same way for humans.

I can write a paragragh about Are animal intelligent? They only act on instinct or because they are trained.

Are animal intelligent?
 

 
 
In my opinion, animals are not intelligent due to the following reasons: First, animal can’t reason if there is a problem, they can’t resolve a complicated situation or make a good decision. When a new situation is presented to an animal, they act on instinct because they don’t know how to behave in a new situation but if they are trained their behavior could be different. In the other hand, some scientifics said It is very difficult to affirm if animal are intelligent, but there are animal learn quickly. Second, animals act on instinct because they are not able to think the concept of one situation. For example, if a lion wants to eat, they must hunt and kill another animal; after eating the prey, the lion doesn’t have feeling of guilty. The only instinct he has is survive. Another example, when animal has breeding; the mother protects them even with her life. In many situations are demonstrated animals acted on instinct. Finally, depend on what kind of animal are trained, the time to have results could be quickly or slowly. Animals training doesn’t mean that are intelligent, animals can have the ability to learn quickly or not. The majority of animals trained respond as they were trained. For example, if they are trained to find drugs, they have to find drugs (They couldn’t find shoes or another thing). As a result, it is very difficult to affirm if an animal can think. According with some researches, people can’t confuse training with intelligence and people can’t evaluated animals with test that are for human.
 
 


I can write a summary about what happened to Andrea Anderson.

  How smart is smart?


 
 
In the excerpt from, How smart is smart?, author Dorothy Hinshaw Patent presents a Andrea Anderson who had an accident near her house when the storm struck. When Andrea was covered up by the snow, she screamed desperately for help and a dog call Villa heard Andrea’s cries. Villa helped Andrea save her and after that Villa was recognized as Dog Hero for her bravery, loyalty and intelligence. The author said some scientifics would explain that Villa was a wonderful animal but she didn’t understand the concept of danger. On the other hand, Villa only acted on instinct. For example, when a mother protects her baby. Hinsshaw concludes that there are a lot of experiments that show some animals have mental abilities.
 
 
 
I can write a paragragh expressing my oppinig about Lula (Lula is a pig that saved her owner)


Lulu saved her owner

 
There are three reasons why Lulu acted on instinct. First, Lula was afraid what was happened with her owner and the only thing that she did for him was to go out, and was amazing to find a motorist in the street that entered to her house. Intelligence can’t be attributed in this case because animals like Lulu can’t think, they only act. Second, animals that are trained have the capacity to respond to an event determined through feats that help people to save life. Lula was not trained and in that situation she acted on instinct. For example, if she were trained, she could call the owner’s doctor or alert the neighbor. Finally, she can’t think or it is so difficult to affirm that animals don’t think. Animal are evolved through the time and in some cases they show intelligence but if they are intelligent why they not improve their life or not reason after an act?. As a result, animal’s intelligence has to be measured through standards to animals not for humans.
