Final Self- Reflection
After
taking the course I have learned a lot about the human-animal bond, and how we
as humans interact with other non-human animals. From this course I learned
that we interact with animals in many ways. This includes how we use these
animals for food, clothing, entertainment, medicine and research, and
work. Before taking this class I truly
forgot the other roles that animals play in our lives besides just providing
food and clothing. This class also opened my eyes to the human-animal bond and
how strong it really is.
This
class has truly changed my perception about how important animals are in our
life. After watching many of the videos we did in class about the bond we have
with our companion animals, and how service and working animals impact our
lives I have gained more respect for these animals. I was truly impacted by our
service and working animals lesson. I was amazed to learn of all these many
tasks that these animals are trained to do. I was also inspired how dedicated
service and working dogs are to complete the task at hand.
Elephants
are one of my favorite exotic animals. I really enjoyed being able to complete
the social deconstruction project. This project allowed me to learn new things
about this amazing creature. From this project I learned how extremely intelligent
the elephant is. I also got to learn
more about controversial issues that impact elephants. I never knew much about ivory
poaching but completing this project opened my eyes to how serious this issue
is. Completing this project also gave me insight on some of the unfair treatment
that this intelligent creature receives in the entertainment industry. Growing
up I use to be excited to see the elephant perform in the circus. This project
showed me that these animals do not deserve to be confine and mistreated as
they are in circuses. Overall I really enjoyed this course, and learning about
the importance of the human-animal bond.
