Feminism

'virtue' too often involves the renunciation of pleasure in the name of some higher purpose , a purpose that involves power for men and sacrifice for women . pleasure is describe as a shallow and frivolous in a world of high-minded , serious purpose . but pleasure does not exclude serious pursuit and intension .it is the only real reason for staying alive.

Recently there has arisen a heated debate over whether zoos are necessary ? people retain diverse views on this hot issue , before presenting my view , I intend to discuss both sides of the argument.

Advocates of zoos hold the beliefs that the benefits of the zoos to any community are educational , recreational . first of all , it is an effective /practical way to preserve those rare animals and endangered species in zoos . it is a fact that the natural environment is no longer a suitable habitat for some species to survive and some species are on the brink of extinction due to the deterioration of environment and hunting. If we don't take some actions to protect them , the ecological balance will be broken . finally , it will exert a dangerous influence on human beings . zoos help increase the population of endangered species . moreover , zoos also serve as an ideal scientific center where scientists can conduct researches which could give us more information about these species so that we can come up with a practical method to preserve them . in addition , besides protecting endangered species , zoos play an important role in improving public knowledge about animals . last of all , zoos are a place of entertainment and recreation , there're also a tourist attraction which boost the local economy .

 

Some other people , however , are strongly against zoos for several reasons . primarily , it is morally wrong that take an animal from its home , confining it in unnatural settings and use it for entertainment . the nature of zoo completely reflects human's arrogance towards other species and foster a disregard for all life . furthermore , worst of all , adult and children visiting the zoos are given the subliminal message that it is all right to use animals for our own ends and it is natural that we possess them . it is unethical that to ignore the freedom and the feelings of the animals . human being have already taken a lot from the nature and the animals . we should be such greed and indulgent , the animals and us should share the basic right living under the same sky .

 

In the final analysis , both sides have sound foundations . if asked to make a choice , I will no hesitate to assent to the latter. I believe animal belong to the their natural habitat , they deserve the freedom . it is a breach of their natural right to take them by force into captivity for our own purpose . so zoos should be discouraged .
