Self- Reflection

                Throughout this project I have learned and changed my thoughts quite a bit on the issue of animal experimentation for the use of medicine. My thinking has started to feel bad for animals while still seeing all the benifits brought to us from animal testing. I started out being all for it and thought that it was all a very good idea and that it all was fair and good for us. I still think that but along the way of researching I think that the animals could be treated a lot better, some get treated well, some get treated like shit. During this project I have struggled to get all things in on time and it has obviously showed me I need to step it up and not fall behind. I think that the completion of this has made me realize that staying on time, coming to class, and making homework a proirilty will help. I think that in the future I will learn from this and use my time more wisely and meet deadlines. After high school is over I will be going to Stout, I hope that I am prepared enough although I am very uncertain. I feel a bit lost when it comes to English class and struggle when it comes to writing, which I hear is huge to be good at in college. My school experience has taught me to finish well! I need to learn from my mistakes from high school and not make the same in college because I have to pay for those classes and I don’t want anything to go to waste. I haven’t taken much responsible for learning in all honesty; I wish I wouldn’t have gone through this project with a half ass attitude toward it. The most difficult parts of this project were the specific criteria that I had to meet, like citations, research specifications, and other small things to do with bibliographies. I really didn’t like a lot of this project, the blogging, the citing, and the bibliography. Overall though I think that it was a good warm up for college.

The film, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, was a movie about humans trying to find a cure for Alzheimer’s. They used apes to test different kinds of medicines on them and eventually it worked on one ape. The ape got shot, but it had a baby and they managed to save it, his name was Caesar, he grew smarter and smarter because of the drug he had that was the cure for Alzheimer’s and it was in his blood. He saw and figured that the apes weren’t being treated like the humans, he saw that they weren’t being treated equally. He ran away got apes together and turned against the humans.

I think that this movie was a good movie. It definitely got the point across that the apes were being treated badly. It showed a point of unfairness between humans and animals and it tried to get you to feel bad for the apes. The movie wanted to show us that us humans used or abused the apes for our benefit. But this movie also showed another point in my eyes I think it showed that animal research and testing for medicine can be extremely beneficial. In the movie, we found the cure for Alzheimer’s. That is HUGE!! Anyone who says that animal testing for medicine is a waste, in my eyes, should look at everything we have accomplished because of it, and how much more things don’t have cures.

This will be a great thing to use on my subject because of the success of animal testing. The movie will be very beneficial to my topic and I plan on using it in my research.
