The major argument in favor of animal testing is the fact that it has helped to find cures and save lives. Though this is a perfectly legitimate reason to test on animals, it is hardly the only one. Many kinds of products consumed by humans are also tested for safety using animals. Humans mindlessly sacrifice millions of innocent lives of animals to ensure insignificant luxuries, such as wearing lipstick. It is not necessary, logical, nor moral to give up the lives of animals for these luxuries. Humans should not test on animals because it is morally and ethically wrong, inefficient, and in many ways avoidable. Texts produced by non-native speakers often differ from native speaker writing in various ways. When it comes to advanced learner writing, the deviations are often discussed in terms of differences in frequencies of certain categories of words or certain structures. Another explanation studied by, for example, Mauranen (1996) is that non-native speaker texts differ from native speaker texts as regards the thematic progression. An additional aspect, which will be discussed in this study, is that learners’ tendencies to show a preference for certain constructions, such as impersonal constructions or focusing devices, may effect the themes of their texts. The study is concerned with thematic differences in argumentative writing produced by Swedish university students of English and native speakers of English. It looks into how difference...
