Many people have a close relationship with their pets. These people treat their birds, cats, or other animals as members of their family. In your opinion, are such relationships good? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. |
There are so many pets around the world and so many species of animals, such as dogs, cats, iguanas and even cockroaches, have become the people's best friends, pets. The pets may affect on the people positively in the some points of view, or they may affect on the people negatively in other poinits of view. However, in the broaden range of perspectives, I strongly believe that these pets, even the cockroaches, can have posite effects on the people's life patterns or the behaviors.
To begin with, many people learn self-controlling ability by breeding the pets. Even people who have some problems at controlling themselves, they would put more effort on taking care of the pets. The young kids, especially, are lack of this ability. They often do not know what they need or what they should do. To illustrate, suppose that you have a little daughter, and because she is so young, she doesn't arrange the things in order. One day, she just bought hamster from the small shops in front of the school. Then you will see what is different. She will put efforts on the breeding hamsters, and try to be nice to the hamsters. You will see her room much cleaner and neater than before. As the example shows, the animals would help people to have nicer environment.
Second, the pets would make people much more sympathy. People could have the feeling of loving the creature, while the pets are growing. This is especially strong for the kids at the young age. It is obvious when the two cases followed contrast. There are two groups of kids, one of them have the experience of breeding animals and the other group of kids don't have the experience. Then suppose that these two groups of kids saw weak, small, dying animals. Did the second group concern about the animals and give help? Or Did the first group of kids concern about the animals and give help? The answer would probably be the first group. Because the first group of kids have suffered from the difficulties of animals more than once, they would pay more attention to the animals. In this respect, people who are near the animals and have once bred the animals would try to preserve the environment and be sympathy of the neighbors.
Of course, there are some exceptions. Someone, who bred the animals as pet more than once, may not concern of the sick, dying animals, or have the massy environment. But in the most case, pets give positive effect to the people. |
