My Volunteering Experience
My volunteer work helps me grow up. It has made me more aware of the difficulties other people go through and made me appreciate the simple things we have in life. It enables me, as an adult, to become more confident and to realize the difference I can make.
I now have new career aspirations and the confidence to take forward these new ideas, since I started mentoring at the Open University and gained experience of working with young students. I' ll go on to do a teaching assistant course and looking to go into volunteering teaching or youth work in the future. My research project will be to build a spatial web application.It was inspired by the volunteering I do for another not-for-profit organization.
My volunteering at an animal shelter is neither connected to my studies nor to my career interests. I do it purely for pleasure, satisfaction and the feeling that I can help somebody. It' s made me a happier person, and I wouldn' t have got this far at university without it.?

To paraphrase 18th-century statesman Edmund Burke, "all
that is needed for the triumph of a misguided cause is that
good people do nothing." One such cause now seeks to end
biomedical research because the theory that animals have rights 【M1】__________
ruling out their usage in research. Leaders of the animal rights 【M2】__________
movement targets biomedical research because it depends on 【M3】__________
public funding, and a few people understand the process of health 【M4】 __________
care research.
Scientists must communicate their message to public in a 【M5】__________
compassionate, understandable way—on human terms, not in the 【M6】__________
language of molecular biology. We need to make it clear the 【M7】__________
connection between animal research and a grandmother's
hip replacement, a father's bypass operation, a baby's
vaccinations, and even a pet's shots. Scientists could "adopt"
middle school classes and present their own research. They
should be quick to respond to letters of the editor, lest animal 【M8】__________
rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive
appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to
tours, to show that laboratory animals receive human care. Finally, 【M9】__________
because the ultimate stakeholders are patients, the health
research community should actively recruit to its cause not
only well-known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who
has made courageous statements about the value of animal
research, and all who receive medical treatment. If good people do 【M10】__________
nothing there is a real possibility that an uninformed citizenry will
extinguish the precious embers of medical progress.

To be sure, vegetarianism dates back to Plato and Plutarch. And in America, the first cruelty busts happened in the late 19th century in New York. But society viewed animals largely as properties, until Regan and a handful of other philosophers pushed animal-rights issues into the academic mainstream. Indeed, this academic focus has dramatically altered how Americans approach the ethics of husbandry, some observers say. Once-radical ideas have been firmly woven into society.
Regan envisions a type of "bill of rights" for animals, including the abandonment of pet ownership, elimination of a meat-based diet, and new standards for biomedical research on animals. Essentially, he wants to establish a new kind of solidarity with animals, and stop animal husbandry altogether. "In addition to the visible achievements and changes, there's been what I might call an invisible revolution taking place, and that revolution is the seriousness with which the issue of animal rights is taken in the academy and in higher education," Regan says.
But with Regan planning to retire in December, a growing number of farmers, doctors, and others are questioning the sustainability of his ideas. Increasingly, Americans who feel their rights have become secondary to animals' rights are speaking out against a wave of arson attacks on farmers and pies thrown in the faces of researchers. Radical groups, with sometimes-violent tactics, have been accused of scaring farmers away from speaking up for traditional agrarian values. Indeed, tensions are only rising between animal-rights activists and groups that have traditionally used the land with an eye toward animals' overall welfare, not their "right" to be happy or to live long lives.
The controversy around Regan is heightened by the fact that he's no pacifist. He says he believes it's OK to break the law for a greater purpose. He calls it the "greater-evil doctrine", the idea that there's moral hierarchy to crime. "I think that you can win in court, and that's what I tell people," Regan says. "I don't believe that you should run and hide." The shift in the level of respect has been "seismic", he says. "Contrary to what a lot of people think, there really has been a recognition that there are some things that human beings should not be permitted to do to animals. Where the human heart has grown is in the recognition of what is to be prohibited."
