Small Seeds Creating Big Waves On a day to day basis people in our country go to their local grocery store and purchase produce for their family. Where do these fruits and vegetables come from? Most people would answer “They are grown on a farm of course!” Which indeed is true, but thinking beyond that, most produce starts off as just a tiny seedling. So going back to the question… fruits and veggies come from seeds which are produced and distributed by agribusiness corporations like Monsanto. In their article ‘Why Does Monsanto Sue Farmers Who Save Seeds?’ Monsanto; one of the first agribusiness corporations, defends the company’s reputation and effectively justifies why and how they go about handling patent infringement. Originally posted on Monsanto’s website, the article informs readers of the great lengths that the company goes through to do research and development of their seeds, why their product is patented and also why it’s so important for Monsanto to pursue consumers who do not follow the provisions outlined in a signed agreement. Monsanto appeals to their target audience by using specific rhetorical techniques including ethos and logos to convince readers. Monsanto clearly targets a particular audience for this article. The selection was originally posted on their website under the “News and Views” tab which shows that the article was intended for consumers of Monsanto’s products and also fellow agribusiness corporations. Being that Monsanto is one of the…

In the excerpt from the Truman Doctrine, President Truman speaks of Greece as a nation utterly destroyed by the war and the population suffering greatly in result. He speaks of chaos and political violence. I do not doubt the validity of these claims, however, the anti-communist message is clear. The United States’ aid to Greece was not simply a humanitarian act, but an attempt to curb the perceived threat of communism. I am glad the United States sent aid to struggling nations, but I am not so…

direction of the Cubans [and the right of the U.S. to become encompassed because of the Monroe Doctrine]), the U.S. came into the ownership of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines (although merely the Philippines stayed a foreign ownership [for 30 years]).

relationship to the growth of the U.S. Empire, whether it was through a political need of establishing relationships with its neighbors or an economic need such as labor demands, the truth is the U.S’s ideologies and policies have shaped their associations with other countries. With this in mind, the main reasons that led the U.S. to interventions in Latin America was the fear the Spanish, Russians and the other European countries might obtain control of Latin America. Nonetheless, the reality…

I hope to answer these questions in my analysis. I will also explore more of the history of the seer stone in church history, as well as some of the doctrine attached to the use of a seer stone.
