Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Observing and studying animals’ behavior are useful for knowing more about humans.
Maybe six thousands years ago, there came up a new living creature—humans in the world. This new organism is highly advanced differentiating the other animals due to the ability of creating and using tools. As a result, humans are distinct from the rest barbaric animals which behave totally instinct and even unconsciously. I concede the animals are our close friends and observing them will be conducive to our biotechnologies but not understanding more about humans. As we all know, the differences between the animals’ and humans’ behavior are the intentions, the self-cognitive, and the courtesy.
Firstly, due to different intentions, the animals and humans behave differently. More detailed, most animals with low intelligence, only take the action to satisfy their basic requirement or just for the survival. Take the chicken for example, which spent most of their time in searching food and peeking on the ground all the day. Another lively example, the giant panda, which is so valuable in China, is preserved in zoo or labs. They will never have a sense of losing freedom or want to make a progress in losing weight while they enjoying wasting time staying in only a limited place without any movements but eating all the day. Excitingly, many animals will show some wonderful performances such as dancing, singing, or even make-up themselves. All of these really look like humans, but their intention is still for survival. They want to attract others only for match. On the other hand, we, human beings will set a longtime goal and consider carefully before doing something. What’s more our intentions about doing the same thing will be so complex and even different from one to another.
Secondly, humans’ behavior will show self-cognitive while the animals’ don’t. It is obvious every person has its own personality and characteristics. They perceive themselves the unique one in the world. Sometimes, they show their confidence in their proficient areas while, sometimes, they will be diffident in doing something they never try. This is because they are able to understand themselves which is called self-cognitive. However, the rude wild animals will never think about themselves. What they are? And how they are different from the other companions? They are so barbaric that they will never have the feel of self-cognitive. There is growing evidence that several years ago, many zoologists states that chimpanzees and a special bird do have self-consciousness. But till now, this statement is subverted there they are just show social behavior in front of mirror.
Finally, humans are highly intelligent, so they behave courteously to others while the animals don’t. Humans will greet each other no matter who is, apologize when making mistakes, and say goodbye to farewell another. It is no surprise that the animals are always aggressive toward others. They are afraid of losing their habitat, supply, and match. Even there is cannibalism in the animal kingdom. For example, immature bigger sharks will eat the smaller ones in order to occupy more space and food in the future. So, as human beings, they recognize these almost out of ethic.
Summarily, it is no use to observe and study animals’ behavior which is ultimately different from the humans’ in the aspects of intention, self-cognitive, as well as courtesy. |
