Emeritus Club honors 18 alumni Thought processes andanimal influence from paga ona Lubomudrov said Shepard criticized these arguments as failing in the attempt to protect nature from human intervention. Instead. Shepard presented a fourth argument in which he states that wildlife should be protected for mankind's mental health. "Shepard's thesis is that our mind is shaped more than anything by observing wild animals." Lubomudrov said. "He argues that children, from birth until 12. are intertwined with animals, and their thinking abilities have been heavily shaped by their observations." Using a series of magazine pictures, Lubomudrov illustrated what children may see when observing wildlife. He showed a polar bear in the arctic, which may. Shepard would argue, teach a child the concept of being alone. Another picture was that of a possum family cuddling, conveying love, warmth and protection. son responds to "There's nothing my three-year-ol- d better than animals," Lubomudrov said. "He can identify with them; he wants to hug and touch them; he really gets turned on." Lubomudrov further illustrated Shepard's idea of the effects that animals have on our thought processes by using phrases that convey concept, such as. "sly as a fox," "busy as a bee," "slithering like a snake" and "bear of an exam." He also asked what Capistrano would be like without swallows or Independence Day without the eagle. Further, what would sports fanatics do without the Seattle Seahawks, Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos or the Washington Huskies? Not only does Shepard argue that animals affect our concept of thinking, but also our process of thinking, Lubomudrov said. Shepard argued that animals influence our ability to classify, distinguish and understand diversity, Lubomudrov said. However, the process only works when the child knows that the animals truly exist. "Children's minds are not shaped by dinosaurs, but by the wilderness that exists today," he said. According to Lubomudrov, Shepard argues that we have already lost a lot of our natural diversity by destroying the wilderness and believes that this correlates with the growing problems people are having in dealing with fear, domination, control, acceptance, love and rejection in industrial societies. Lubomudrov believes that Shepard's argument is a valid one and should be added to the other three which Shepard "curtly dismissed" to influence However, he said Shepard should distinguish between concept and process thought more clearly and prove his hypothesis by showing the effects on urban society really has on children. policy-makin- Paga Thraa air g.
