Assignment 1:
Animal testing must be banned:
- Using animals for testing unsafe drugs can cause them a lot of pain and suffering.
- We need to respect animals and we need to uphold that instead of using them for
experiments.
- There are viable alternatives available such as testing skin products on natural
ingredients such as bananas, that have a long history of safe human usage
- Animal testing is one of the most efficient ways of testing since we have a long
history with testing on animals and a lot of knowledge on it. Animals are very similar
to humans which means the outcome of test on animals will be similar to humans.
- Animal testing has been proven to not always be as reliable since, a humans organic
and genetic system greatly differs from most animals that are being tested on.

Social media platforms should be banned from collecting their users' data:
- Banning social media platforms from collecting users' data will let people have way
more individual privacy.
- Banning collecting users' data will minimize the manipulation of social media users.
Which will create a safer online environment.
- The risk of hacking will be significantly reduced since personal information of users
will not be collected and will no longer be a target for hackers.
- By banning the collection of user data social media companies will be losing a source
of income, which could lead to destabilisation of their economy.
