My name is Christopher McCann, I'm a sophomore here at MCLA. As an IDST major I am exploring classes that pertain to holistic health and the study of other cultures. I recently switched my area of study from political science to a more spiritually grounded arena because, as I "conspiracy theorist" (critical thinker) I became quite frustrated with the blatant lies being perpetuated in our own school system. Over the past year I have had many mind boggling revelations which would make most people's head spin right around but I've managed quite well despite this.
I am looking foreword to Ethics and Animals because I am interested in hearing arguments on why we should or shouldn't eat animal products. I find this fascinating because my particular beliefs say that all life is interconnected, and it makes me wonder what effect our use and abuse of animals has on our collective consciousness. I hope that through our class discussions and reading I will expand my own understanding of this subject and draw upon our classmate's collective ideas to better my own experience and impact on the wider world around me. Currently, I do consume meat because it is typically served with every meal at our cafeteria; but perhaps when the semester is done I will find the motivation through this class to abstain from meat for good. 


Random observation: If the prime meridian were drawn at Stonehenge (the most famous one) the coordinates for the Grand Gallery within the Pyramid of Giza would almost exactly equal the speed of light in a vacuum in Meters / Second (with shifted decimal places, and accounting for continental drift).
