Guns, Germs, and Steel Inequality in the world has stemmed from geographic luck. When an area has a stable food supply, it’s people can spend extra time on inventing new things. Some areas have fertile soil, and crops that are nourishing and easy to harvest. However, other places are not so lucky, with dry soil and crops that have little nutritional value. Jared Diamond, an ecologist and anthropologist, has a theory that all inequality in the world started from the idea of “geographic luck”. Or…

discussing the advantages and the disadvantages of golden rice. Golden rice is hereditary adjusted rice that now contains a lot of A-vitamins. More accurately, the rice contains the component beta-carotene which is changed over in the body into Vitamin-A. So when you eat golden rice, you get more vitamin A. Beta-carotene gives carrots their orange shading and is the motivation behind why genetically modified rice is golden. For the golden rice to make beta-carotene three new qualities are…

The calabash and the horn The calabash and the horn are objects of great cultural value in the bakossi and ngemba ethnic groups in the South West and North West regions of Cameroon respectively. While the calabash Is typical to the bakossi and the horn to the ngemba, both are sometimes used together in some cases. To a stranger, the calabash is simply a bottle gourd or a calabash gourd which is a large vine fruit and a horn is a hard curved and pointed outgrowth on the head of some animals like…

Genetically Modified Foods have various different advantages to the environment and agriculture such as them having the ability to generate a better outcome on crop production, producing a great quality crop while using less harmful chemicals to produce them. However, there is a lot of research about whether they are entirely beneficial as they have many negative aspects especially on the environment and on nature. The hazardous compounds they contain which have a negative impact on the…

There are many types of rice, such as brown rice, sticky rice, and long-grain rice. They are all good for the human need, but what about the “Golden Rice”? In “Can GMOs Help End World Hunger?”, by John Robbins, the author explains how genetically engineered rice has failed to help the world hunger, and what he has discovered as the real purpose of Monsanto. At the beginning Robbins has used reliable sources to inform what was the “golden rice,” and he has well explained the advantage and…

The following are some of the problems facing Scott Deter and Ventria. They are trying to produce and market genetically modified rice in the state of California. In a previous case called “Prodigene”, genetically modified corn was produced then the following year soybeans were produced. In the same field, volunteer corn, sprouted from the previous season’s corn amongst the soybeans. This is just one way ordinary food can be contaminated with genetically modified food. The article listed that…

Pro GMO Labeling Argument Outline Pro Argument Thesis: GMO labeling is not a bad idea. We have a right to know about any health and safety issue concerning our food. Topic 1: There are valid concerns over government overreach and a nanny state. But labeling is not a ban on GMO products. Topic 2: The opponents of labeling have a vested interest profits which conflicts with food safety. Topic 3. It is important to understand the role and limits of governmental oversite in regards to our food…

health. One example of a nutritional health benefits is the creation of Golden Rice.” To make Golden Rice, scientists insert genes into the edible part of the rice plant (Specter 13). Golden Rice is known to be enriched with vitamin A. The terrible thing is that Golden Rice has been banned for purchase. Calculated by “The Economic Power of the Golden Rice Opposition”, within the past decade the absence of Golden Rice has cost the loss of more than a million lives in just India alone (Specter 13)…

Films have their own ideas, perspectives, and ideology, which as the book states “the term is generally associated with politics and party platforms, but it can also mean a given set of values that are implicit in any human enterprise- including filmmaking.” Every film insinuates to viewers actual diverse aspects presented in the movie. For example, that one tale in the film Wondrous Boccaccio in which the film explores religious values, the nuns are seen as religious individuals, and the Mother…

The United States have nine genetically modified plants: corn, cotton, soy, sugar beets, Hawaiian papaya, canola, zucchini, yellow squash, and alfalfa for animal’s feedings. The plants are modified for new desirable traits and the recombinant DNA is forced into the DNA of other species to make new organisms. During the process to accelerate the rapid growth, the gene (s) can become unknown and the host plant mutation causes collateral damage that induces toxins, allergy reactions or new…
