Genetically modified organisms also known as genetically modified foods or GMO are foods that contain some DNA of an animal, bacteria, or plant. Many may find GMOs as a good or bad system that technology has ever created. But the real question is whether we should have labeled foods that are genetically modified. In the article, “Why Genetically Modified Foods should be Labeled” written by Carole Bartolotto argues why we should have labeled foods. While in the article written by Josh Davis, “…

Barlett and James B. Steele is a short essay published in 2008 by Vanity Fair talking about the way Monsanto treats their customers, their workers, and how they do not seem to care about the general public. Monsanto created a genetically modified seed that was capable of withstanding “its own herbicide” and allow farmers to have a “convenient way to spray fields with weed killer without affecting crops” (819). Because they are the bigger company, they often try to contact farmers into buying…

The Potential Risk of Genetically Modified Organisms Since 1982,” Genetically Modified Organisms have been used in our foods. These “Genetically Modified Organisms are a result of a laboratory process where genes from DNA of one species are extracted and artificially forced into the genes of unrelated animals or humans” (Smith). In other words, Genetically Modified Organisms are harmful for our society and should have never been introduced to our world. Have you ever wondered how our food is…

In “GMOs: A Solution or a Problem?”, environmental science writer Mark Lynas addresses an interviewer from the Journal of International Affairs regarding large scale implementation of genetically modified foods internationally. In Lynas’s eyes, examining genetic modification from a scientific approach suggests that GMOs are a field of technology that farmers should take full advantage of. He sees opponents of GMO usage as misguided and ignorant to the issue at hand, stating that these anti-GMO…

Rhetorical Analysis A paper that I have written called, “To Modify or not to Modify?: An Argument for Genetically Modified Crops”, presents an argument in support of GM crops. In order to investigate the quality of the paper, I will analyze my own writing. Here I will look back on my writing, and give an rhetorical analysis regarding the persuasiveness of my argument, as well as the effects of the argument on others. The main argument of the paper defended the safety of genetically modified…

Structuralism vs Rational Choice: Italian GMO’s On Wednesday, September 13th the European Union court ruled that Italy could not persecute farmer Giorgio Fidenato for planting genetically modified corn in his fields. The genetically modified crops (GMOs) were illegal in Italy before this decision, even though the European Union allowed for these crops to be planted starting in 1998 (The Associated Press). In 2013 the Italian Government asked the EU to ban the seeds as an emergency measure based…

The trait variation of having a beak of more depth turned out to be advantageous in Drought 1 and helped the finches’ fitness because it was easier for the larger beaks to pick through the AstroTurf for big seeds than for the smaller beaks. The beaks of more depth were inherited by finches in the next generation. In Drought 1 the finches with small (smaller in depth) beaks managed to collect and crush a total of 0 large seeds in Group 1. The large beaked finches (larger in depth) for Group 1…

Cross Contamination of Brassica Napus INTRODUCTION Brassica Napus is a bright yellow flowering rapeseed that can be used to create biodiesel, animal feed and vegetable oils. As of 2009, over 90% of Brassica Napus was genetically modified to make it disease and drought resistant. The high rate of the genetic modification of this crop is due to the increased yields of the crops which in turn lead to higher economic returns for the farmers producing the Brassica Napus. (Beckie, 2011). Although…
