It is most commonly believe that a zoo is not advantageous to people and it is wasteful because people cannot learn anything form a zoo and building a zoo should be support a lot of money. However, I strongly believe that a zoo is much useful to us. In this sense that it provides opportunities to learn about the knowledge enhancement for natural science and also it conveys the message of the importance of nature to public.
First of all, a zoo allows child to enhance their understanding about the natural science through a field trip at there. Commonly child’s learning through a public education in a school is limited because they just are able to understand the natural science presented on text books. Also, some natural principles are complex to them because they haven’t experience directly. However, a zoo allows them to expand their knowledge boundary though meeting diverse natural animals and plants and also helps to understand the complex phenomenon of nature by direct experiences in a zoo.
In addition, a zoo enables people to feel the importance of nature. Nowadays, there are serious natural problems such as global warming and the destruction of the ozone layers in the world and also many endangered animals are threatened by these factors but people without the direct experience with the endangered animals cannot definitely feel the seriousness of the pollution and the importance of the natural science. However, the direct interaction with the nature in a zoo convey a message to public about the nature’s significant and even they are able to feel that in the side of world the nature destruction should be blocked.
In brief, a zoo is effective to give much information about natural science to child in order to help their understanding. Also, human’s interaction with nature in a zoo is significantly role of feeling the awe and respect for nature. Therefore, I firmly believe that a zoo is beneficial to us. |
