William I. Miller’s The Anatomy of Disgust, and Erich
Fromm’s The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness. The paper

Do We Feed the Poor? : A 5 page paper discussing whether
the rich countries of the world have a moral obligation to feed
the poor ones. “Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a
man to fish, feed him for a lifetime” applies, but there seem to
be few who believe it. The views of Peter Singer and Garrett
Hardin are compared in this paper, but both views are only in
absolute terms. Neither author appears to be willing to
consider alternatives that are any more cooperative than the
passage of sentence in the Roman Coliseum. For them, it is
either thumbs up or thumbs down on the hungry of the world,
while actual solution is much more likely through the extended
hand that also can grasp a shovel. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Does The Human Brain Make Us Unique? : An 8 page paper
discussing aspects of both the philosophical and physiological
arguments in the continuing debate. In the naturalistic world
view of humanism, the annihilation of other species is a crime
against life. Though each side has its own purpose and own
agenda, it appears that neither would disagree with the
humanists’ statement—even those who disagree with their
general philosophy. There is indeed something that sets us
apart from the rest of the earth’s animals, likely centered in the
brain but as yet undiscovered. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Dolphins And Personhood : 6 pages in length. For many, the
concept of personhood is reserved strictly for humanity.
However, that is a self-centered, arrogant concept that has no
basis of fact. Dolphins possess many -- if not all -- of the
qualifications that represent personhood; in fact, they are one of
many within the nonhuman world who can be considered
persons by its very definition. The writer addresses the concept
of dolphins as persons, as well as sites examples of such.
