The Effects of Business on Consumers and the Environment: Case Study: Perdue Farms. If you choose the environment subject heading, reflect on the sheer density of chickens raised at any given time in the Perdue facilities. The disposal of their discarded remains and their processing for distribution, either individually and most definitely together, pose a number of environmental concerns. If you choose the advertising subject heading, reflect on how the two videos on Perdue farms present the sharp contrast between the way the company presents its product and the way in which it has been discovered to run its chicken farms.

Consider whether this is an example of failure to provide truth in advertising and how you would support such a stance. If you choose the consumer safety subject heading, reflect on the way in which chickens raised in factory farms risks consumer safety. These might include (a) bacterial contamination, (b) the effects of antibiotics on the meat that is consumed, or (c) the release of adrenaline, cortisone, and other chemicals resulting from the acute stress endured by factory farm animals, which then becomes part of the meat that is later consumed by humans. If you choose the moral responsibility heading, reflect on the stewardship role that may fall upon humans toward non-human animals.

Can we utilize them as mere means to an end (for entertainment, companionship, or food)? Or do we have special obligations toward them (e.g., not to mistreat or torture them and to slaughter them quickly and without stress) because they are sentient beings? Once you have completed the indicated readings and videos, reflect on the ethical theories that we have covered in the discussions thus far and identify one that you want to apply for your analysis in your discussion post. Also, reflect on the regulations (or lack thereof) in the factory farming industry in order to be able to examine how our nation’s laws affect the operations of the business.

You will need to research the applicable laws on the factory farming industry. Finally, since Perdue Farms is an American corporation, reflect on the mixed economic system in the United States in order to articulate the setting for the operations of factory farming, and then, be able to analyze the ethical actions of Perdue given this setting. ASSIGNMENT: In the first part of your initial post, you will need to introduce the Perdue case within the particular subject heading that you have chosen. In this introduction, you will also need to (1) articulate the relevant characteristics of our mixed economic system and (2) present the regulations for the factory farming industry.

These will provide the setting for you to be able to examine how the nation’s laws affect its operations. In the second part of your initial post, present your analysis of the problem in a way that identifies which entities (Perdue as a corporation, the economic system in the USA, the regulatory control of the state, or all of these) have a role in the problem that you have presented. In your analysis, you must assess the negative effects of the interplay between business activity and one of the following: the environment, advertising, consumer safety, or corporate social responsibility.   https://youtu.be/N4jfGqrdgqg

How Forests Think 2022 Best

How Forests Think

This assignment involves writing an open letter of 3-4 pages, using our chapter from Eduardo Kohn’s How Forests Think: Toward an Anthropology Beyond the Human to look at the plight of other species and the humans trying to save them in Louie Psihoyos’ T

How Forests Think

Seeing Animals at a Time of Extinction and Captivity: A Letter. Please write an open letter of 3-4 pages, using our chapter from Eduardo Kohn’s How Forests Think: Toward an Anthropology Beyond the Human to look at the plight of other species and the humans trying to save them in Louie Psihoyos’ The Cove, Orlando von Einsiedel’s Virunga, and Lu Chuan’s Kekexili: Mountain Patrol. Please use all four (4) of these sources and, building on the great work you’ve done all term, try to dive into specific moments and detailed scenes to write about the stories inside them.

How Forests Think

Logistics: Your letter can be “open” in the sense you address it to a general public; as such, it can be less formal than your strictly academic prose you have cultivated so well this term. But please still cite your sources and include a “Works Cited” at the end. And please include a representation of the excerpt we have read from How Forests Think, along with micro-representations (they can be a few sentences) of The Cove, Virunga, and Kekexili. Take your scenes one at a time, so you give yourself a chance to look at them closely, and you can try building your individual paragraphs around those scenes. https://youtu.be/Ynl9XwwKUZ8

But please organize the letter however it feels right to you—no need to start with your representation, though you can! And though links between what you are discovering in the discrete scenes from the different movies will allow your readers to understand your threads of connection, don’t feel a need to let one single, macro-argument take over—you can allow different dynamics and situations to flow through your letter so we get a sense of the varied elements working together in the fate of non-human animals, and in the human lives dedicated to them.
