Animals have the right to be treated as beings of value in themselves, not as the means to human ends.

One human right is the right to life and taking a life away by execution is cruel, inhumane and degrading.

Although, generally speaking, the media should not interfere in people’s private lives, there are times when it is correct to do so.

Language is often seen as a badge of identity and more conflict may be created if the global community is seen to prefer one language to another.

Television is mostly directed to films and shows that have commercial purposes but little cultural value.

旅游：

It is not purely ecosystems which are damaged by the pressure of consumption , but also ancient monuments or heritage sites.

Modern whaling is humane, especially compared to the factory farming of animals like chickens, cow and pigs, .
