SWA23

Finding a Balance between the Rights of Species

Thesis: By getting opposing groups to meet in the middle, it would not be impossibly difficult to make the world a much better place for both humans and animals.

I. The issue of how far humans should go to secure fair treatment for animals is a problem for multiple groups in the modern world.

II. A possible solution for the problem would call for a compromise between all perspectives.

A. Possible legislation requiring the elimination of inhumane slaughtering processes

1. Pacifies animals rights activists, and does not have to raise costs unreasonably

B. Stricter policies on how radical protests can become

1. Pacifies people who are uncomfortable with some present advertisements and protests

III. The given solution is reasonable because it does not strongly inconvenience any party, and it also successfully solves the problem.

A. If all involved are willing to compromise, there is no reason they can’t all give up a few things they want to reach a good middle ground

In today’s world, a major issue when it comes to any problem is getting opposing factions to reach a compromise. The problem of animal rights is no exception. There are many different perspectives with completely opposing view, but there is no reason that the problem can’t be overcome. The main problem is that people do not see eye to eye when it comes to the rights of animals, with some believing that animals should be essentially equal to humans, while others believe that we should not afford animals any rights at all. There is no reason a compromise cannot be reached, as long as people on both ends of the spectrum are willing to think rationally.

Thesis:

By getting opposing groups to meet in the middle, it would not be impossibly difficult to make the world a much better place for both humans and animals.
