    Living Downstream by Sandra Steingraber illustrates the vast effects of environmental pollutants on the human body. As a biologist and cancer survivor, Sandra Steingraber is able to eloquently execute this story because the topic is so relatable to her life. The strong association and correlation between the environment and our DNA shows so much about the ignorance of the human population and our stupidity of not acting to make a change. Although we are at fault for placing these chemicals into the environment, we still blame our faulty genetic repair mechanisms for the cancer instead of the environmental carcinogens that we’ve put into the land, the air and the water.…

    A rather depressing movie, “The Blue Kite” recalls the story of a small, poor family in China, in the 50’s and 60’s, during the hundred flowers movement, and the ‘cultural revolution’. We follow the family through various phases of their lives, starting from the 50’s, at the start of the communist regime. One could say the initially positive outlook in the Chinese community is visible in all the characters living in the compound. However, we see this positivity turn to discontent and a feeling of helplessness as the movie progresses through its chapters. This is very visible when in the beginning the neighborhood party representatives go and visit Ms. Lan’s house, asking if she has contributed to the state by giving assets.…

A particular stage of development fails to take place normally, especially the critical period when cells multiply and enlarge to form organs.

For example, exposure to chemicals, radioactive material, and drugs among other hazardous conditions may lead to failure in development of some body parts, stunted growth in babies as well as poor cognitive development.
