This increased movement of both goods and people increases opportunities for the spread of disease around the world. (Globalization.org, Pg. 2). It is common to find mosquitoes that carry malaria aboard a plane, thousands of miles from its original habitat. Diseases are also spread through infected seafood with cholera bacteria

For example, before the accelerated rate of globalization happened through technological advancements like transport, plagues like smallpox and measles would take a long span to spread around the world; but today through the air travel, such a diseases can spread in the globe within 36 hours. "16 % of deaths in the globe result from contagious diseases and 30 % of disability adjusted life years” and "Since the 1970s, new diseases have been identified at the unprecedented rate of one or more per year.” (World Health Report …show more content…
(Globalization.org p.25) GMO food is being advocated for because they are more resistant to parasites, grow faster, and yield higher quantities of protein and Vitamin. Proponents argue that this can help in containing a global crisis. The opponents argue that, "as a result of altered regulatory functions, GMOs may exhibit increased allergenic tendencies, toxicity, or altered nutritional value”. (Globalization.org p.28) GMO can also alter biodiversity; they can be transferred naturally to unmodified crops leading to massing out of some plans and animals. Opponents consider GMO production unethical because it can affect other species livelihood. There still remains a thin line on whether the GMO benefits should make it to be adopted at the expense of likelihood of harming the environment and health. More research needs to be done until such a time when enough trials have been done to prove beyond any reasonable doubt whether GMO food should be fully integrated into the environment or not.Continues tests, will be giving clearer results every day, instead of focusing on the advantages only; increased food production at fair
