Everybody Should Be Vegan

Veganism is the way to go. All around the world, billions of animals are slaughtered for food each year. Clearly, everyone who do not support veganism are sinister beings who thrive on the suffering of other creatures. It is a widely acknowledged fact that the souls of domestic farm animals or fish, which we kill for food, are much more sacred than other wild species; therefore it should be agreed upon that the running over of natural habitats by farming machines in order to produce vegetables is an action entirely justified. Most of the wild animals are actually willing to sacrifice their homes and lives for the completely good-natured cause of veganism. The most urgent action us humans can take is to protest against raising animals for yielding meat or poultry, and encourage the production of vegetables, even if it comes at the cost of other animals. I mean, who even cares about all those mice or rabbits who get run over by farm machinery?

 After knowing about the primary goal of being vegan, I’m sure it is clear to everyone that the people who do not support veganism are criminals for murdering cows and chickens every year for food. But even as a vegan, an individual is tasked with the critical task of converting all possible friends and family members to become vegan. Even though not consuming animal products can be harmful towards certain people, it should be up to them to do some intense research about nutrition in order to stay healthy. Statistics all say that vegetarians and vegans have a longer life span. Surely, being vegan secures a wholly happy and healthy future for both individuals and the environment.

    I really liked how you emulated Joy William's tone in this. Your harsh tone really emphasizes your point and almost persuaded me to become a vegan. Then realized how much I loved food. Also, are you a vegan?

      No, I’m not vegetarian actually. I like eating meat! But I do think those who choose vegetarianism or veganism are respectable, although this post is kind of criticizing those who are too extreme about the cause of veganism.

Interpretation of Maus: Vladek Wearing a Mask

Image
(panel 2 on page 64 of Maus by Art Spiegelman) On page 64 of Art Spiegelman’s Maus is a scene of Vladek trying to get on a train by pretending to be Polish. The panel is shaped as a circle, a motif which in class we have interpreted to represent the wheel of Vladek’s bicycle and a cycle back into his memories. The circle, however, can also represent the round spectacles that Vladek is wearing in the present time. Just like his glass eye, the lenses also signify how Vladek’s view of the world is largely shaped by his past memories in Poland. As this panel shows Vladek viewing his memories through the circular lenses, it also parallels with the page’s focus of how racism creates bias. The train man, who was a Pole, only helped Vladek because he saw Vladek as another Pole. The circular lens represents how some view the world with “lenses” clouded by their racial prejudice. This flaw is highlighted especially because Maus focuses on the Holocaust, a catastrophe caused wholly

Can Derogatory Words Have Positive Meanings?

Image
In class this week, we had a short discussion on how certain words should belong to certain groups of individuals. In Song of Solomon , even Guitar, the character who is most protective of the African American race, used the n-word when saying how “every [white person] is a potential nigger-killer”(Morrison 155). It had always been something I knew subconsciously, how the n-word is only used when African Americans tease one another, or how the b-word is only used among good friends. However, I had never liked the idea of any derogatory words being used at all. I considered the n-word one of the greatest taboo words in our culture, and yet its frequent uses by the black community make the word impossible to ignore even in present days. The same goes for the b-word, even though some women do not get offended being called with the b-word or c-word. After doing some research, however, my perspectives began changing. While the n-word originated from slave owners, the ones who looke

Can You Be Consciously Self-Centered?

Image
This week in class, we read a speech by David Foster Wallace called “This Is Water,” which focused on how one should try to remove unconscious self-centeredness, or “water” in Wallace’s words. He compared complete self-centeredness and, if I shall name it, complete others-centeredness to emphasize the superiority of the latter. However when reading, it made me believe more that it would be extremely hard, if not impossible, to be 100% on either end of the spectrum. Although I am almost certain that Wallace made his argument with this thought in mind, I find myself disagreeing with his saying that one should be able “to sacrifice for [others]” (Wallace 237). Just like Wallace stated, it is just natural for human beings to be self-centered; in fact, self-centeredness is what maintains life in this world. Imagine a lion chasing a deer. The lion would not be blamed for taking another animal’s life, nor would the deer be blamed for the lion’s starvation. Of course, this
