My views were not modified any of this controversial issues . Some of the issues like Gennetic Privacy and Discrimination. I had ruminated about before, but you cannot change your views if you did not have any. This class strengthens my views on GMO 's, Nuclear Energy and things like CRISPR and this class stored me with more information and perspective in a compelling and thought provoking way. I believe none of things are bad in premise, but can be used for horrible things, leading to destruction of cities and people, or eradication of societies values if given the time to go too far. I am trying to spend time analzye different points of views rip to the truth was exciting and this search strengthens many of my views and the discussions showed

They 're are the cons that it causes nuclear accidents, it is unknown what to do with the waste. Which causes huge conflicts, mostly due to the media, we only see the problems like Chernobyl and Fukushima. There is the downside of a high production cost not a high power production cost, but a high upfront cost to build the plant. There also the con of getting land to build and plant because you can 't put it near a high population or town without having a lot of scared people protesting, also they need to be near water to cool the reactor and they can 't build in certain states making it different to find a place to build a plant. One of the biggest cons is nuclear waste, that uranium half-lives are hundreds of years and they have to find to place to put the waste. This is because in a nuclear plant they use Uranium- 235. This container has to be leak proof and underground. But though the news does not talk about we don 't see the good things like the amount power …show more content…
I don 't most cases believe in good and bad, but most problems I look at as a shade of gray. In Nuclear power case it can be dangerous if done wrong, but it also is very productive and useful, I do lean more toward caution but I don 't believe it is as dangerous as many think. The problem with these topics is we only hear about the problems or see the china syndromes, we don 't hear about the power made or the percent chance of a problem. So we don 't focus on the possible problems from nature and industry as much as human error, we are flawed and bias and prideful and mostly we are on average are uneducated on both sides. So we can 't make an informed opinion and have a good discussion. What I think is we need to work together to fix our nuclear plants not destroy them, we need to improve society not break it. I learned as a kid, I need to embrace my faults and weakness and learn to use them and that is what society and industry need to do to. Show the problems and learn from
