11.19 Doyou agree or disagree with the following statement? Observing and studyinganimals’ behavior are useful for knowing more about humans.
The factthat we, as human beings, are derived from animals or monkeys has been verifiedlong time ago. As a result, some people support that observing and studyinganimals’ behavior are useful for knowing more about humans, and even somescientists regard them as a promising access. Some people, on the contrary,argue that the attempt to know more about humans through animals is nonsense. Sois there anyone who can point out the truth? Probably not.
Wetitled ourselves as human beings, but no one can deny the truth that we arestill a part of animals’ world, a kind of animal that can think and talk. Thereexistscertain kind of connection between animals and humans. Somescientists, for instance, use monkeys to study how do people learn to speak andwhat are the characteristics on each learning stage. Observing and studyinganimals’ behavior, to some extend, may help scientists to learn about humans.
Nevertheless,humans, who are highly evolved and socialized, differ from animals in manydimensions. Human behaviors depend on a multitude of factors, to name a few:friends around us, the society, and whether one receives education. Friendsaround us have great influence on us. For example, my friend, who viewedhonesty as the prominent standard, made friends with her roommates. However,her roommates always cheat on exams. Under the influences of her roommates, shecan’t restrain the temptation from cheating, thus ending up with a gravewarning from teachers. This kind of behavior is exclusive among humans, whileanimals are not clever enough to take the risk.
Furthermore,the society in which we are living is another element that will change our lifecourse. The financial crisis, the universal nightmare, drives plenty of peopleto step on the road of going to jail. Many of them wish to live in a happy lifeby their own hands, but it is this catastrophe that made them lose everything,jobs, houses, even family. They can’t figure out another way to move on, sosome of them decided to rob the bank.
In anutshell, humans are a kind of animal affected by various factors. Personallyspeaking, observing and studying animals’ behavior may be an approach to learnsomething about humans scientifically, but humans can never be understood throughstudying animals’ behavior completely. |
