Since elephants are big animals, they need to live in a lot bigger space, but the zoos only provide them small areas to live, so they can easily get harm, especially in their feet. For example, in 2000, at the Nancy Zoo, a female Africa elephant was suffering from foot injured, it was very painful for her to move or even stand still. In many cases, the result is that when elephants get old, they suffer from arthritis because lack of activity and movement. Toni, an Asian elephant is another example, she was died at 39 years at the National Zoo because of arthritis. Some zoos, they seriously understand this issue and send their surviving elephants to sanctuary, but some others do not.
Government deception is the main theme in The Elephant but the theme in He-y Come on Ou-t is based on Ecological welfare of our world. The Elephant and He-y Come on Ou-t have different themes, but are also similar in many ways. The main idea of the short story The Elephant is the power of deceiving by the government. At the surface level, The Elephant is about a zoo in a small polish town attempts to save money, by buying a fake elephant, rather then getting a real one for the citizens to enjoy. Metaphorically, the short story is about a communist society which adequacies are overlooked because if exposed, reflects badly on the governing of the country.
In times of danger, the herd will look towards the matriarch in order for her to make life-saving decisions to ensure the survival of the herd. Once the matriarch dies, one of her daughters will replace her as the leader (MacKenzie, 2001). However, this social order cannot be followed with captive elephants living in zoos. The number of elephants living within a single enclosure must be reduced, due to the size. In the majority of cases, the elephants living within the same enclosure may not even be blood relatives, but various individuals (both male and female) from different zoos, in order for them to successfully breed.
Many of the positions are part-time, therefore, they are positions without benefits. By shopping at Walmart, Americans are supporting China. When Walmart opens new stores, they often cause the closing of other stores, and upset the balance of prices in the neighborhood. "Critics believe that Wal-Mart opens stores to saturate the marketplace and clear out the competition, then closes the stores and leaves them sitting empty."

The danger this elephant brought to the people was evident. The author did not have the intention at first to kill the elephant but brought an elephant rifle for protection. This caused people to follow out of curiosity. The elephant was now peacefully grazing in some fields as the author approaches. Seeing the animal so peaceful made him question what to do next.
Product marketing thrives throughout making the image of products look as appealing as possible to the eyes of the consumers. The same can be said for people. We might see someone and from what you can see about their sense of style, clothing, or hair we decide mentally what type of person they are. Sometimes people can come off as sharp and rude when they are actually kind and caring, and vise-versa. In the book "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen we are confronted with a character named August who acts as the antagonist to the lovers and the circus workers.
David Porter 2/26/12 Business Management Professor Laidler China Blue Sweat shops have become an epidemic in China with the rapid population growth and not many opportunities many citizens settle for the lousy work. They work long tireless hours for little to no pay. The workers are not allowed breaks and are told they can only use the bathroom twice a shift.

It is through instructors such as yourself, classes like this, and opportunities abounding in eight weeks, which can not only change your perspective, but change your life. Let’s send the elephant back to where he belongs…his jungle, not
On a social level, “The Elephant Vanishes” depicts Tokyo as a highly urban community wherein zoos were being replaced by high-rise condominiums (Rubin 238). And consequently, government activists don’t see the significance of elephants and animals – much more if they are supposed to be owned, fed, and taken cared of by the town. Animals used to be man’s friends, but since the
