Half of residence, Block I, Apartment 1-2 Yachay Tech University 6 December 2016 Dear Portfolio Reader, In this portfolio, I have included five essays which I have worked during the last semester with the purpose to show the development of my English skills, my opinion, and my interest. In the first essay, I have discussed the paper by Lera Boroditsky called How language shapes thought which I make a reflection about the argues of Boroditsky and give my opinion on the topic. The second essay is an interpretative essay that it is an interpretation of the painting called Distinct Connection by Kandinsky which I have made with a collaborative workgroup. We describe and interpret from our point of view, all the elements of the painting. In the third essay that is an argumentation essay based on the article How Morality Changes in a Foreign Language which I made a reflection about Should children learn English since they were born? And finally, my research paper which I show my supported arguments against the animal experimentation. My goal as a student at the beginning of the semester was to achieve proficiency in English skills, to enjoy reading, and write and talk with fluency because English is vital for my education and job prospects in the future. At the beginning of the semester, I had many problems with my English skills. I had problems with my skills to listen and speak that caused me difficulties when I had to give my opinion or talk fluently with other English speakers. My writing skills also have improved, at the beginning of the semester I had problems with my writing style and with APA rules. Now, I can say that my writing style is not perfect but has significantly improved.
At this stage of the semester, I feel that I have accomplished my objective to improve my English skills. Currently, I can read and understand most of the texts in English, can speak fluently in English and have improved my English writing style. Through different activities like essays, expositions, debate and in group work I have not only learn about English, also I met better to my English classmates with I share good and bad experiences. Good experiences, when we allocated a lot of time for discussions exchanging our opinions, and our good and bad experiences, in different themes. Bad experiences when team members were unwilling to open themselves to others to accept mistakes and weaknesses, and the lack of compromise, pillars on which to build trust and teamwork. Nevertheless, I have taken good and bad experiences as life lessons for improving my social relations. I have improved my reading and writing skills thanks to the essays and in class reading sessions. It was necessary to read many articles and papers in English to writing Essays with a good content. The reading of different texts helps me to learn more about grammar structure, the usage of the English tenses and vocabulary that it is necessary to understand the writer's opinions. The continued practice of my skills have helped for developing and improve, the evidence of this are my essays. In each essay I have learned something else for improving my writing skills. For example, I have learned that is better to look for information in English because you can find more and better information but also you can write and use the information of texts in a better way because you can understand better the author ideas, interpret the ideas and give a personal opinion. All these, thinking in English. I have improved a lot and I have and want to continue improving my English skills.
Sincerely, Juan Laglaguano

EVOLUTION AND ENGLISH

Evolution and English The global language is English because English is the language that most no native speakers communicate with other no native speakers and native speakers. English bring advantages for their speakers. Current, psychological studies show that people think different in different topics about ethics. The findings suggest that people change their opinion about an ethical problem when they use their native language. Based in this context, children be taught English at an early age? All children should learn English at an early age because English can help new generations to create new generations with open minded thinkers, new ways of thinking and moral dilemmas. In current societies, people have closed mind which is a barrier for the human and social develop. The next generations need open minded thinkers. Open minded thinkers are people who take great risks, without taboo topics and are socially responsible with society and the environment. It is clear that the world need a change with new leaders because the entire world has great problems, like wars, climate changes, and poverty. Many people can say that our society does not need great changes, however, the world needs great changes and a common vision to afront global changes. Teaching a foreign language could be and opportunity for great changes. Learning English as the foreign language could be an opportunity to develop new ways of thinking. Recent Psychological experiments like the ones by Catherine Harris and her colleagues and Albert Costa show that the way that we think in a foreign language is different. In Catherine Harris's experiment people were confronted to controversial taboo topics. The result shows different reactions in the English language than in their native language. Alberto Costa's experiment works with a moral dilemma.

The participants had chosen to save lives between save five people or only one. The results show that the language, native or no native language changes the answer of the participants. So, it is that a new language offers us a new perspective of thinking and how to work the world. The new question is how can this affect the thoughts of children? The answer can be changed with new ways of thinking and fresh ideas. Many people say the new ways of thinking could bring new problems, but we do not know that now, and the diversity of thinking is what makes us a successful species. Language English as a foreign Language can be an opportunity to change the moral dilemmas. According to Acosta experiment and other psychological experiments, our moral dilemmas change in a foreign language. We do indeed respond differently when considering the same question in a foreign language than when using our native tongue. Moral dilemmas have affected mainly science; because now, and in the past, most of the new and innovative ideas have been considered immoral. The develop of moral problems could be the next step in our evolution as species. The continuing change of moral dilemmas bring advances in the science and the societies because of breaks with the mental barriers that have caused great troubles in the develop of science and societies. We need new moral dilemmas based on logic, evidence and near to the reality. In conclusion, learning English as a foreign language to the next generation will not only provide competitive advantages, It also offers them new perspectives of the world but overall this is and opportunity to improve our actual society and give the next step to our evolution as society and species.

Opposing Points Of View Related To Each Other Art is a way that artists use to express their emotions, their vision, and ideas about the world. There are many kinds of art. One of this kind of art is abstract art. This is one of the freest and beautiful art forms because it does not force the painter to represent something that already exists, but rather something that comes out from the inside. Therefore, viewers of this kind of art also have to connect with themselves to give an interpretation of an abstract painting. It means that abstract art gives them freedom of interpretation (La Galicia, 2016). Vasili Kandinsky, a painter of Russian origin, was the precursor of abstraction in painting. One of his famous painting is “Distinct Connection” Distinct refers to separate and connection means linking. Distinct Connection by Kandinsky give us the message that two contrary things can occur at the same time, it is order and disorder are really the same. First of all, “Distinct Connection” shows an order of the universe through geometric shapes. This painting is composed of geometric shapes like circles, squares, triangles, and others geometric elements such as curves and lines. All of these represents order. For example, circles mean perfection, stability, and equilibrium. Squares also represent perfection because they have the same angles and sides. Moreover, triangles mean the connection between cosmos, God, and the being human. Where are you getting this information? The lines represent the uniformity and continuity of the universe. The horizontal lines represent security and support because we relate the horizontal structures with points of support. The vertical lines represent the ascendance which means the relationship between the sky and earth. All of these geometric elements show universe in an ordered way (Bradley, 2010).

Second of all, there is an ordered combination of colors used in the painting. The relationship among colors and the order are that colors help to make a concrete representation of shapes and feelings of Kandinsky. The black color helps to highlight in a non-scandalous way the elements of painting, and it is related to order. The white color reflects purity, dignity, and unity. On the other side, the red color symbolizes power, action. It is a color associated with vitality, ambition, and passion. The blue represents the night. In antiquity, it was associated with infinity, immortality, royalty, and the sacred. Another color present in the painting is the yellow color (Olesen, 2016). This color has a curious meaning and symbolism, it is associated with happiness. This combination of colors present in the painting might produce in the viewers a sense of a quiet and ordered world. Finally, “Distinct Connection� shows that ordered things can be disordered. The disorder is expressed in many ways in the universe, in arts, for example, it seeks to violate the forms of perception of the senses, stimulate them to a pleasurable visual orgasm. In the picture "Distinct Connection, although this painting is composed of ordered things, it looks disordered because of the spatial distribution of the figures on the plane. On the one side, a white plane harmonizes this disorder and gives rise importance to the figures resulting in a radiant geometric arrangement. Looks like a solar system with satellites orbiting, space and planets that benefit from the light of the sun. The disorder is based on the fact that none of the figures presents would make sense on their own, or a correct meaning can not be interpreted because they are placed without a specific pattern. There is a black circle on the upper left of the painting, in
OPPOSING POINTS OF VIEW RELATED TO EACH OTHER
10
context with the painting this circle looks like a black hole. This in itself represents the chaos of the universe because it does not radiate light, and it is a supermassive body that attracts to the others towards its definitive extinction. It breaks the order in the cosmos. And in the painting, this element breaks the order because it is the most striking detail that does not have the primary colors. In the down part of the picture, there is a black color contained in small stable squares that cross like space debris, without order, just cross. In the planet instead, there are curves lines that look like a set of antennas, represent the freedom and chaos because it does not maintain the aesthetic geometry of the painting. It incites to break the system and go against. In conclusion, order and disorder are related to each other in order to give an ordered perception of the universe. The universe where we live is chaotic, every moment becomes more disordered and takes an inexorable direction towards the chaos. However, nature fights with the hope to keep the order, and in a way, has achieved it, because even in the chaos we can find order, is its essence. The painting establishes a connection between order and disorder that is summarized in universal equilibrium. The equilibrium is something inherent in the universe, both order and disorder depend on one on each other, counteract each other. Therefore, the universe always tends to equilibrium. Moreover, it depends on the each one’s perception of order and disorder. It means that an ordered thing can be a disorder for another person who sees it. In Kandinsky's painting can be seen that the disordered position of figures and colors of a relatively ordered, meaningful and agreeable picture. It shapes the beautiful disorder of the universe through figures and colors representing the ordered cosmos.

HOW LANGUAGE SHAPES OUR THOUGHT?

How language shapes our thought? Language is the capacity of human beings to express thoughts and feelings through their senses. In the past, a language was an important tool for different cultures because it allows them to transmit their knowledge, traditions and describe their environment, but now a language is a barrier for the globalization. Lero Boroditsky argues that language shapes our thoughts and this idea seems reasonable because if we think about the relationship between language and our perception of the world, we can see that both aspects are affected by our senses, culture, and environment of development. How does our language shape the way we think is an interesting paper by Lera Boroditsky is an interesting text in which Boroditsky make comparisons between different concepts in different languages and provide data about different languages, however, she do not cite the found of their data. The author makes comparisons of concepts and things on different languages, she compares concepts like the time, space, colors, and genres. The comparison is good but we could make a review since the beginning of languages and study how to change and how is affected by the culture and the environment, so we could stablish how to change languages and the way of thinking through the past of the time. The second comparison that Boroditsky makes it’s about the space. She describes an aboriginal community on the northern Australia, which the natives use the cardinal directions to define the space. While in the western world, we define space on relative to the observer instead words like right, left, forward and back. The difference in the perception of space, in this case, is that the Australian aborigines

have developed navigational ability and spatial knowledge of their environment. How we perceive the space helps to build more complex and abstract concepts, like time, numbers, musical pitch, morality, and emotion. These concepts depend on, how we think. The different ways of thinking depend on the environment because there are different environments where we don’t have a physical point of reference then we have to encode our position in different ways. The third comparison that the author makes about the perception of time. People´s perception of time changes across languages in different languages in other ways. English speakers refer to the time using horizontal spacial metaphors, while Mandarin speakers talk about time using vertical spacial metaphors. Boroditsky affirms that language shapes our perception of time and our perception of time can be expressed in terms of length or amount. Finally, the author makes a comparison of perception of colors and genre. She says that colors perception depends on the ability of the native speakers to discriminate different shades of colors. In Russian, the native speakers have many words to describe the different shade of a color. While in English we only have a word to describe a color and two more words to describe the shade as dark or light. In the case of the gender, most of the languages have the traditional genre's male and female to describe things but there are exist languages that have many genres to describe things. According to Boroditsky different native speakers have different ways to describe the world, Boroditsky makes a comparison between same concepts in different languages, but she doesn't provide enough evidence to affirm this. We could

establish a relationship more deeply if we think about from a genetic point of views. Language is affected by our senses because our senses help us to collect information from our surrounding, process and give an answer. In the process of communication, we receive an encoded message by senses, decode the message, analyze the message, doing an answer, encode the answer and give the answer. The information of the environment is taking it by our senses for this reason senses are an important tool of language that has helped to develop the different languages. Senses function the same in all individuals of the world, but the sensitive is different, however, the sensitive of our senses is genetically different and can be explained by the population genetics.

Abstract This paper offers arguments against animal experimentation in science and offers alternatives. The questions that are going to be answered are the next: is it animal experimentation necessary? and is it animal experimentation the best alternative? There are four points that are going to be exposed on the next pages. Each argument is based and supported by scientific studies, statistics and the opinion of different experts and associations against animal experimentation. The fist argument is that animal experimentation is cruel and inhuman and are exposed experiments where animals are used and the consequences. The second point is that animal experimentation is expensive and are exposed numbers about coast in animal experimentation. The third argument is that animals and humans are different from different points of view, and numbers and figures of the failure of animal experimentation are exposed. The last point is there are better alternatives. At this point, different alternatives are exposed. Keywords: Animal experimentation, toxicity, computer simulation, necessary.

Is animal experimentation necessary in science? Currently, animal experimentation is one of the most significant ethical and moral issues of the humanity. When we think about this topic, the first that comes to our minds are miles of animals suffering and dying each year in miles of cruel and inhuman experiments. Monkeys, rabbits, cats, ferrets, pigs, sheep and chimpanzees are most of the used animals for biomedical experiments, science education, and product, and cosmetics and drugs testing (Human Society International, 2016). On the one hand, proponents of animal experimentation claim that the process is for saving life and affirm that is better to use animals than humans for testing. On the other hand, opponents affirm that we should stop animal experimentation because it is inhumane, cruel and unethical. However, each year millions of animals die to feed the vast majority of the population and most of the people do not think about like an ethical or moral problem, no matter what animals have worst conditions because this is case, the abuse is considered like something normal and necessary. There are much points of view about animal experimentation, but the underlying question is: how useful and indispensable is animal testing? I am going to expose some points against animal experimentation as is cruel and inhuman, it is expensive, humans differ from animals and there are better methods available with the purpose of arguing why animal experimentation is not necessary. Thousands of animals die each year on cruel and inhuman experiments that animals are commonly subject to forced feeding, forced inhalation, sleep restriction, deprivation of food and water, prolonged periods of physical restraint, inflict burns, inflict pain to study their effects and remedies, and others (Human Society International,
IS ANIMAL EXPERIMENTATION NECESSARY IN SCIENCE?
22
2016). Opponents of animal testing say it is preferable to carry them on animals than humans because most new medical treatments or drugs that tested on animals have serious consequences can cause many damages to the body and even death. Some of the experiments carried out on animals are acute toxicity, effects of lower doses applied in the long term, chronic toxicity, carcinogenic activity, and teratogenic effects. The results of these experiments are not only useful for clinical studies in humans but also for the development of veterinary medicine (California Biomedical Research Association, 2016). The damages that can cause the named studies are irreversible and usually ends with the death of the animal because to try to keep alive these animals would be more inhuman and very expensive (Humane Society of The United States , 2016). An important point to consider from this type of experiments is that the results are not only useful for the development of human medicine but also for the development of veterinary medicine. One of the arguments of the supporters of this practice are the devastating effects that would occur if these same practices were done directly in humans. Why not carry experiments for the development of human medicine in humans and experiments for the development of veterinary medicine in animals, this apparently is logical but not close to reality. Does the life of an animal cost less than that a human? The answer is yes, a human life is more valuable than an animal life for most of the people because humans have a better cognitive ability that allows us to take decisions and not only act under instincts like animals. Supporters of animal experimentation claim that animal experimentation and its negatives effects are necessary for the develop of science (Lubbock Avalanche Journal, 2016). Most of the

people think that animals are only important for humans because they provide us with food, clothing, transportation, defense and others. However, animals are important because they help us to maintain the balance within the ecosystems and their diversity. It is true that we must use knowledge, and all the necessary for human survival but is our responsibility as being livings with wonder cognitive skills to keep and respect the environment and life. The experimentation with animals is costly because it involves many expenses to feed and keep animals, and also some experiments take a long time from months to years. Most experiments with animals take many years until find results and more time for finding success results and analyzing the obtained results costs from thousands, and sometimes millions of dollars (U. S. Deรกrtment of Health & Human Services, 2016). The excessive time and money needed to get results, not necessarily successful make animal experimentation inefficient and even one of the worst alternatives to do research. The next figure show numbers about coast on animal experimentation.

A consequence of the inefficiency of animal testing makes it impossible to adequately regulate and evaluate the potential effects of the more than 100,000 chemicals currently on the market worldwide, much less study the effects of combinations of chemicals to which humans and wildlife are exposed, throughout our lives (Humane Society International, 2016). All this makes it impossible to verify the positive or negative effects that all these chemicals can have. Many people say that the costs of experimenting with animals are not excessive because people is more important than money. However, the inefficiency of techniques like animal experimentation has caused miles of unnecessary deaths. There are cheaper and better alternatives in the market as computational models or in vitro hat allow studying effects at the cellular level which makes easy to carry in (Human Society International, 2016). The development of better and more efficient alternatives should be a priority for researchers because could cause a new revolution in medicine research.

The big differences between humans and animals, from a molecular level to a macromolecular level the results of animal experimentation cannot be used to develop the human medicine. The differences in anatomy, organ structure and function, toxin metabolism, chemical and drug absorption, and mechanisms of DNA repair among myriad other differences between humans and other species can give us inadequate or erroneous information when we attempt to apply animal data to human diseases and drug responses (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaf, 2016). For example, penicillin is toxic to guinea pigs, aspirin is poisonous to cats, and the recalled diet drug phen-fen caused no heart damage in animals, while it did in humans. Drugs that pass the preclinical stage are not necessarily secure, according to statistics, most of the experiments approve successfully the preclinical stage but fail on posteriors stages (Understanding Animal Research, 2013). For example, in the 1950s a drug called thalidomide, a drug used to prevent nausea during pregnancy, caused nearly 10,000 babies to be born with severe deformities (John J. Pippin, 2016). Thalidomide has been tested with animals, before being sent to consumers without show harmful side effects, and further studies showed that thalidomide at high doses caused deformities when supplied in high doses. The defenders of animal experimentation argue that most of the advances in medicine happen thanks to animal experimentation however statistics show the opposite. For example, according to UBF "90% drugs tested on animals fail", according to Safer Medicines Trust "92% of drugs fail in clinical trials, having successfully passed through animal studies", and according to Human Society International "In fact according to The FDA's research, nine out of ten drugs deemed
IS ANIMAL EXPERIMENTATION NECESSARY IN SCIENCE?
26
successful in animal tests fail in human clinical trials" (Understanding Animal Research, 2013). All these statistics show that the animal experimentation is inefficient. There is a great variety of non-animal research techniques that, in addition to having a more humanitarian approach to science, can also be cheaper, faster and more effective (Akhtar, 2016). These include cultures of cells, tissues, and organs; Microorganisms such as bacteria; Molecular research; Studies of post-mortem tissue; Computer simulations; Population studies or epidemiology and clinical research with human volunteers (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, 2016). Human and tissue cells can be obtained from biopsies, post-mortems, placentas or surgical procedures and can be used for biomedical investigation. A wide variety of cell cultures, as well as human cancer and blood cells, can be cultured to investigate how viruses cause infections. Cells from the human placenta can be used to test if drugs can cross the placenta, or human joint cells to study rheumatic drugs (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, 2016). Cell and tissue cultures can be highly sensitive to chemicals and allow researchers to study specifically identified body parts from a molecular level. Cell cultures have been used in research for cancer, Parkinson's, AIDS, drug development, toxicity and Alzheimer's. Another of the methods that have been described in this essay is the computer simulation. Sophisticated computers can be used to simulate structure, functions, physiology and to predict the toxicity of substances such as new drugs or chemicals, computer models of whole biological systems are also being developed. The computer models can be based on human data and predict the action of a substance using its molecular structure. The results of computer simulation are efficient and faster than other used methods.
IS ANIMAL EXPERIMENTATION NECESSARY IN SCIENCE?
27
In conclusion, animal experimentation is the worst alternative to making an investigation and it is not necessary because there are better alternatives in all the aspects to consider important. Animal experimentation is cruel and inhuman because cause damage and kills animals. Animal experimentation is expensive and inefficient with other alternatives. The actual alternatives to animal experimentation are better than animal experimentation because are faster, cheaper and more efficient. For all the reason named animal experimentation is unnecessary. Experimentation with animals is necessary even for the development of veterinary medicine because science must be used to improve and preserve life. Currently, we have good alternatives to animal experimentation however the development of new alternatives for make investigation should be a priority for the scientist because if the scientist does not have good alternatives to make an investigation, science will develop slowly.
