Over the span of 35 years, our society has developed research towards Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).These organisms have provided many benefits to the society through nutritional value and over the years of being developed, there have been negative theories that have arisen in the eyes of skeptics. Although there are many legitimate concerns toward GMOs, labeling and regulating Genetically Modified Organisms can alert customers of the dangers and decrease negativity by informing them of…

profit for their own needs as paying to run a farm caused them to be in more financially problems. This source also reinforces that farms did not benefit as the question states and helps broaden reasons why: due to new industries replacing old agriculture and causing it to slowly die out. Although the source is reliable in the…

determines inequality because it it dictates what locations have resources such as the ability to farm, qualification to domesticate animals, the capability to resist disease, and the intelligence to produce steel. The geographic locations influences agriculture because plants can only grow in the climate they are adapted to. Climate is determined by the latitude a geographic location is at. If a civilization has a crop that has a limited amount of labor to harvest less people would have…

stated previously drought is by the far the most prevalent and dangerous climatic issue in the country, and the United Nations Development Programme has targeted the problem by working to introduce varieties of drought resistant crops to farming communities. Some of the main crops to be introduced are drought resistant strains of cavassa, sorghum, and sweet potato (“Coping with Drought and Climate Change (CwDCC) in Mozambique”). Improving plant science in Mozambique could significantly decrease…

Neocolonialism, as conversed in this week’s readings, reflects an external source dictating the economic and political means of another country. To elucidate, the global economy replicates “the international spread of capitalism, especially in recent decades, across national borders and with minimal restrictions by governments” ("Global economy | Define Global economy at Dictionary.com," n.d.). In an exploit to extend capitalism, the global economic market raises controversy, as it generates…

Either by," 'novelty, challenge, or aesthetic value," self-directed, intrinsically motivated, active learners have a kind of intrinsic interest in what they are learning, making, or doing (Ryan, Deci, 2000). Having cultivated a sense of autonomy these learners are not distracted or incentivized by tangible rewards, threats, deadlines, directives, or competition. They instead can be identified by some of these essential qualities: a curiosity/desire to learn, an ability to see problems as…

One of the main concerns and striving goal of the United States is to improve the economy and make larger profits. Several of the most dominating biotech companies that control over seventy percent of the world’s pesticide and genetic modification seed market are Monsanto, Syngenta, Dow Agrosciences, BASF, Bayer, and Pioneer (Du Pont). As these companies inquire that they are trying to benefit the American population, it is actually the complete opposite; they are lying to the American public in…

GMO Crops What is gmo ? What does it mean? Do people really know what it is, and what it does? Growing gmos can prevent pests from consuming the plant. Growing gmos can also help prevent diseases from ruining the crop. Gmos feed a large population of people because the plants are able to resist these things. Growing crops with pesticides and herbicides are superior to growing them organically because it is pest resistant, diseases resistant, and feeds more people than organic crops do. Gmo…

I am sure we have all dreamed of ways to live longer, if not forever. But should we find a way to live longer? We do not realize what the consequences of that would be. We already have “7.2607 billion people in the world as of 2014”…

Hunger is an issue that is close at heart for millions of people around the world. Food shortages and lack of safe foods remain significant global problems. Countries, large and small, struggle to provide nourishment for their ever-growing populations. China, with a population of approximately 1.3 billion, is no exception. Although its’ landscape is varied with fertile plains and valleys, rugged mountains, seacoasts, and deserts, China has only 8% of the world’s arable land, land that is usable…
