Correction de texte/sexualité chez l'animal

[julie230709]

Bonjour je suis étudiante en master et je souhaitais avoir une correction de mon texte en anglais. je dois en effet faire un oral sur la sexualité chez les animaux. 

Cordialement et en vous remerciant par avance

 

Choice of subject : explain why you have choosen this subject : scientific interesr, interest for you, for your peers

 

The subject i choose for my oral presentation is the diversity of sexual behaviour in animals.

 

Heterosexuality is , for a lot of human qualified as a norm in the world, but it is an anthropomorphic view. The animals haven’t always this sexuality and it's what i want to bring forward. People often claim that certain things are wrong or that certain actions should not be done because doing so would be “unnatural : that comes from our society. In fact, in some cultures it exists polyandry, polygyny or polygamy and that is accepted and have explanations but in our European civilisations it's less difficult to be received.

 

Moreover I would like to be an ethologist, a researcher who worked about animals behaviour and so it could be very interesting for my future job to have informations on it. I'm not a specialist of a specific animals and all interest me : make an exhaustive presentations with different animals is for me something pleasant . Plus, I don't know all the different kind of sexuality that exists and that interest me. In some schoolclasses, we spoke about infanticide, sexual coersion or other sexual behaviour and i would like to do more research on it and have explanations : why is there some crual act in nature ? Are there scientific explanations ? So I would like to conclude this oral presentation by a debate and so all can speak and tell their point of view : they'll have a little view of what happen in nature and why. So we can spoke about what is really a natural sexual behaviour  for them and what they think about the animals behaviour (in sexual cannibalism, infanticide, necrophilic fertilization …) ?

 

outline of the presentation :

 

We’ve all heard the horror stories of sexual cannibalism in the animal world. In the other side, lot of people critized homosexuality or other strange behaviour in our actual society and say that's unnatural but infanticide, necrophilic behaviour and sexual coercion are example of what happened in animals community. We can't also say that something is unnatural : it exists in nature and a lot of animals use this kind of behaviour. There are always scientific explanations of why they make it and it's commonplace : in animals it exist for example sexual coercicion and female accept it because the dominant have « good genes » for her offspring ».  On a level of pure biological significance, it makes sense for a female to mate as much as possible with the most aggressive male, so that she can have offspring with his genetic characteristics.

 

An other example,, a crual example i'll take is the infanticide : it's a common act in primates community : w hen a takeover happens the new dominant male kills all the existing offspring. The scientific explanation is that the abrupt halt to lactation brings his new ladies into their estrous cycle, meaning that he can get to work creating some offspring of his own.

 

So we would like to conclude by a debate : what is really a natural sexual behaviour ? We can't say that something is unnatural because it exists in nature and a lot of animals use this kind of behaviour. For example lot of people critized homosexuality and say that's unnatural but infanticide, necrophilic behaviour are used by some animals.

 

comments of the presentation :

 

we know that reproduction requires cooperation to succeed ? In many situations only one sex can gain fitness (increased transmission of genes). This disparity between sexes imposes different pressure between males and females. Males increase their fitness by mating frequently and so increase the chances that their sperm will encounter a rare egg. On the other side, females evolved mechanisms for choosing the fathers of their children, while males have often evolved mechanisms for gaining access to females and their eggs.

 

Why homosexuality ? There are scientific evidence that people who are attracted to others of the same sex develop their orientation before they are born : it exists an association between same-sex orientation in men and a specific chromosomal region. Females have two X-chromosomes, one of which is inactive. In some mothers who have homosexual sons there is a problem in the inactivation of these X-chromosomes : a region on the X-chromosome may be implicated in determining sexual orientation. The environnement (drugs, medicine, toxic coumpounds) have in a second part an impact on it and may interfere with a pregnant woman's hormonal system and so modified her sex hormone and may have an impact on DNA.

 

Opening paragraph of your presentation :

 

Heterosexuality is , for a lot of human qualified as a norm in the world, but it is an anthropomorphism view

 

People often claim that certain things are wrong or that certain actions should not be done because doing so would be “unnatural : that comes from our society. Animal sexual behaviour takes many different forms, even within the same species. I ll take some example of what happens in nature with animals sexualities example : sexual coercion, infanticide, sexual cannibalism, necrophilic copulation?: why is there some crual act in nature ? Are there scientific explanations ?

Bonsoir,

Choice of subject: explain why you have chosen this subject: scientific interest, interest for you, for your peers

 

The subject i  I chose for my oral presentation is the diversity of sexual behaviour in animals.

 

To a lot of people, heterosexuality is for a lot of human qualified as a norm in the world, but it is an anthropomorphic view. The Animals haven’t always this sexuality and it's what that is the point i want to bring forward. People often claim that certain things are wrong or that certain actions should not be done because doing so would be “unnatural: that comes from our society. In fact, in some cultures it exists polyandry, polygyny or polygamy exist, and that is they are accepted as such and have explanations but they are received with more difficulty in our European civilisations it's less difficult to be received. Si j'ai compris correctement ce que tu as voulu dire.

 

Moreover I would like to be an ethologist, a researcher who workeds about on animals behaviour and so it could be very interesting for my future job to get/have informations on it. I'm not a specialist of a specific animals and all interest me: make doing an exhaustive presentations with different animals is for me something pleasant. Plus, I don't know all the different kinds of sexuality that exists and (that) interest me. In some schoolclasses, we spoke talked about infanticide, sexual coercion or other sexual behaviour and i would like to do more research on it and find/get/have explanations: why is there some crual act in nature? Are there scientific explanations? So I would like to conclude this oral presentation by a debate and so all everyone (of you) can speak and tell their points of view: they'll have a little view of what happens in nature and why. So we can spoke talk about what is really a natural sexual behaviour is for them and what they think about the animals behaviours (in sexual cannibalism, infanticide, necrophilic fertilization …) ?

We’ve all heard the horror stories of sexual cannibalism in the animal world. In On the other side hand, lots of people criticized homosexuality or other strange behaviour in our actual present society and say that's unnatural but infanticide, necrophilic behaviour and sexual coercion are examples of what happeneds in animals communities. We can't also say that something is unnatural: it exists in nature and a lot of animals use this kind of behaviour. There are always scientific explanations of why they make do it and it's commonplace: in animals it exist for example sexual coercion exists and females accept it because the dominant one have has « good genes » for her their offspring ».  On a level of pure biological significance, it makes sense for a female to mate as much as possible with the most aggressive malethe latter  so that she it can have offspring with his the latter genetic characteristics.

 

Another example, a crual example i'll take is the infanticide: it's a common act in primates communities: when a takeover happens the new dominant male kills all the existing offspring. The scientific explanation is that the abrupt halt to lactation brings his new ladies into their oestrus cycle, meaning that he can get to work creating some offspring of his own.
