2a.​ What is your personal experience with your local social issue?

What assumptions might you

carry in regards to the issue or problem? What kind of research will you do to inform yourself about
the issue or problem? Where might you find diverse and conflicting perspectives as you research?

My personal experience with my social issue is me being in a vet technician

class. The animals that we work with are from the shelter so I work very closely with the
different behaviors and problems of the animals. I have been to the shelter as well so
that makes me closely related to this topic
I don’t think a lot of people are educated in this issue. A lot of people don’t know
that any of this happens or what type of animals they are dealing with. A lot of the
animals are so incredibly sweet and people don’t realize that, they just see them as
shelter animals.
.I will talk to my vet tech teacher what he thinks about the issue. I will ask kids in
my class about the topic because they are just as close to it as I am. My friend adopted
a cat from the shelter so he is very close to the topic too and I can ask him what he
thinks about it. I will also look up articles and research about different shelters to get
different views.
All over the internet there will be conflicting articles because this is such a big
issue and it is happening everywhere. Everyone has their own opinion on what should
happen to the pets so there will be many different sides. My class there might even be
different sides or even different variations of the same side. There is also tik tok which
seems random but I have seen many videos of people adopting pets from the shelter
and reading the comments and seeing that a lot of people don’t agree with what the
person did.
