Three Acceptable Outrages--Wendi Fan

There are many kinds of outrages in history river all over the world, such as child workers, human trafficking, women bans, discrimination, nuclear weapons and animal testing. Although they seem to be cruel in nowadays, some of  them are still necessary or useful for human lives. Here are three main topics I will talk about animal testing, capital punishment and military action.

The foremost is animal testing. According to the online encyclopedia, Pro&con.org, page for animal testing, we know that there are approximately 26 million animals used to test in science in the USA. Some animals, like Chimpanzees and mice have 99% and 98% of their DNA similar to humans, are used to create medical therapy, examine medicine toxicity and products safety to make sure human being's health. Maybe it seems unfair and cruel to treat animals in testing, but it is better to do trials on human being. After all, some of the researches on animals will also benefit to animals for life-saving. 

The second is capital punishment. Some people think death penalty is against the humanity, is an immoral action, it will take much time and money to do the legal process. If the case meets some mistakes, the wrong people will die. The most important is the criminal have chances to change into a good person who may become useful for some aspects. Otherwise, the opponents of the topic mentioned claim that the criminal who can break the prison would be dangerous. Death penalty will also give lessons to the future offenders. Saving the criminals, more policemen will be sent to look after them, more food and drink will be supplied.

The third is military action. Military actions mean to take actions to use the armed forces systematically, it has a different meaning in war times and peace days. In the former age, we use military actions for armed aggressions and preparedness, and in nowadays, we take more military practice to avoid attacks, to quell riots and humanitarian aids. Maybe military actions bring wars, it is necessary to have it to protect nations from terrorists.
