Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor and the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize stands in front of a room full of important government people; he wants his audience to recognize that being indifferent is not the same as being innocent – indifference, “after all, is more dangerous than anger or hatred”.

He forces the listeners to wonder which kind of people they are. To him, during the Holocaust, people fit into one of “three simple categories: the killers, the victims, and the bystanders” and he forces the bystanders to decide whether or not to stay indifferent to the actual situation. He takes the time to list various actual civil wars and humanitarian crises (line 17 of his speech) and contrast them with WWII.

He makes sure that his audience realise what is at stake “Indifference, then, is not only a sin, it is a punishment” [for mankind]. He wants the audience to be really affected by what they hear – so he talks to them in their condition of human being: “Is it necessary at times to practice [indifference] simply to … enjoy a fine meal and a glass of wine”. And he also talks to them as government people with their duty and the power they have over the actual conflicts. He wants them to compare themselves with their predecessors during WWII: “We believed that the leaders of the free world did not know what was going on … And now we knew, we learned, we discovered that the Pentagon knew, the State Department knew.”

Wiesel finishes his speech by expressing hope for the new millennium. We believed he addresses these final words to those who will refuse to stay indifferent. But it seems that Wiesel would count them in the minority: “Some of them -- so many of them -- could be saved.” probably refers to this minority.

Persuasive speech on animal rights
alexira [117]

Answer:

The Earth is a big family; all the creatures are related to each other. Although other creatures beside human beings do not have sophisticated language ability, they have similar emotion sense like us. I love animals, and I was a volunteer at an animal shelter in Taiwan. One of my cats was from there. I remembered when I met her the first time she looked skinny and weak. She was terrified of people, and her eyes revealed sad emotion. After a period of time under my careful care, she gradually became different. She is full of vitality now. She started to believe that human beings and she still lives with us now.

Thus, I believe if we treat animals with kindness, they can feel it. I regard a cat's key ring as my spiritual symbol; it means I will protect them all my life. When I see news that is related to animal abuse, I feel particularly sad, especially when it is about animal testing. According to the survey, there is an estimation of 26 million animals suffered every year in the United States because of scientific and commercial testing. Those animals are usually born in a laboratory. They are born for the purpose of drug testing, and they do not have the right to choose. I think all animals have their rights to live in a healthy body. Therefore, if animal testing is prohibited, animals will get their liberation and freedom.

Animals have their rights. According to Tom Regan, “To be for animals is not to be against humanity. To require others to treat animals justly, as their rights required, is not to ask for anything more nor less in their case than in the case of any human to whom just treatment is due”. In this world, there are laws and regulations to prohibit human beings using other human beings to do experiment. However, there are no laws and regulations to protect animals from animal testing. Do animals have no right to live? Just because animals do not have the responsibility and obligation as do mankind, does it mean their lives are cheap and insignificant? If all kinds of tortures in experiments where was do on a child, will human beings still agree?
