Letter To Monsanto And Euthanasia

Decent Essays
Dear Ana-Maria,

Good morning. I hope you enjoyed your weekend.

I want to affirm once more my interest to meet your colleagues. The more I read about the company the more I am convinced that Monsanto is the place where I can have a possive impact in other people's lives.

I look forward to your kind response,

Best regards,

    Monsanto is a powerful company with a history of making what many would find questionable or unethical business decisions in the quest for profits. “Many stakeholders are concerned about the moral and safety implications of genetically modified food” (Ferrell & Hartline, 2014). If I were Monsanto’s CEO, to balance the conflicting needs of the variety of stakeholder groups that the company must successfully engage, I would first place labels on the products. Although the FDA determined Americans do not need to know when they consume genetically modified products the company would state the fact on labeling like it does in other countries. Also, I would continue to donate to programs that focus on improving communities in developing countries.…

    “Monsanto’s Harvest of fear” Analysis Monopolizing on a certain product is a business practice that has been used for decades. While this practice is extremely beneficial to those who succeed in doing it, it is simultaneously harmful to every other business owner, usually smaller franchises, in the same line of work. While the one large business continues to profit, the smaller business owners usually go out of business or, if they’re lucky, loses an extremely large percentage of their sales. This is what Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele try to illustrate through their usage of both pathos and logos in “Monsanto’s Harvest of fear”, in which they attempt to get the readers to view big businesses as agricultural bullies.…

    The Euthanasia Program or the T4 Program was a project carried out by Nazis during World War One. It was an attempt to eradicate the incurably ill, physically/mentally disabled, emotionally distraught, the elderly, and others the Nazi regime deemed “unfit to live”. Nazis believed that those who could not work were “useless eaters” and did not deserve to live. They believed that by weeding out these individuals, they could clean the Aryan Race, which was the Nazi ideal race. This “master race” was basically a blonde non-Jew white person.…

    My paper is about Monsanto’s lawsuits against farmers. I think that Monsanto is still a problem for many family farms in America. To solve this problem I think that the people that are involved in approving the lawsuits need actually look at the situation instead of the money. A majority of the problem is that Monsanto is a huge company that just keeps getting bigger with a ton of money behind it and the farmers that they are up against are just small family farms that don’t have the money to fight the lawsuits that are thrown at them. Usually the farmers just pay the fine instead of fighting the lawsuits because it is cheaper to just pay the fine than it is to stand up and try to prove that you didn’t do anything wrong.…

    In the article by Monsanto, they make a lot of claims of reasons as to why they enforce contracts in such an extreme way. The article by Barlett and Steele that the Monsanto Corporation is seen in a negative light, but in the contrary of though and reason Monsanto says otherwise has also showed it. Monsanto’s claim is it should keep enforcing the contract of its patented seeds. Their first reason for backing this claim is that there has been a small percentage of farmers do not honor the contract agreement on seeds and by their actions they are sued. Monsanto’s backing for this is that since 1997 there have been 144 lawsuits filed, and from then on, there have been about 11 lawsuits per year that in the grand number of their clientele of about 4.6 million (source of total clientele since 1997 per year found on Monsanto’s website) or about 250,000 per year since 1997.…

    Luke J. Davies believes that offering euthanasia to children ages four through eleven suffering from intolerable pain that can’t be cured or adequately treated should be allowed. He believes there's no reason to prohibit it even though children can't make there own choices it should be accepted. Considering the option since it was legalized in Belgium, they require that the child understand what euthanasia does, therefore, the parents has to then give their consent. One of the main considerations that has to be met is parents and healthcare professionals authorizing children to opt that decision for them. Believing so, children who can make the decision, accepting the euthanasia…

    When I think about genetically modified foods the immediate thoughts of lies, betrayal, and dangers come to mind. There are the lies that promote the production of these foods, there is the betrayal of our government and multiple agencies that are supposed to protect us as a people and keep us informed of whether there is safety in growing and eating these foods, and, at worse, the danger surrounding the consumption of these foods which correlates with the arising issues among the human populace and our environment. As you have begun to read I can almost be certain that you believe I simply have an axe to grind with the issues concerning genetically modified foods. Maybe you believe I am biased and unfair toward the production of these engineered…
