The case of Bowman v. Monsanto Company, Case No. 11-796, was brought to the United States Supreme Court on February 19, 2013. The plaintiff Monsanto patented a soybean that resisted its own Round Up Ready herbicide (“Supreme Court,” n.d). Monsanto Company constructed a contract for farmers to sign prior to using the seeds. The contract obligates farmers to acknowledge the intent of never saving seeds from the resulting crop. This meant that the farmer would be obliged to purchase new seeds…

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…

Education; Americans are GMO Lab Rats Genetic modification during infancy, animal testing, and vaccines all very controversial and talked about biomedical health issues. Recently the American public has heard a great deal about these topic during the presidential election (Despin). Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) directly affect every American citizen daily. So why is it that the controversial topic of food modification and gene manipulation not discussed more? Twenty-six countries around…

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…

The film The World According to Monsanto is a documentary that centers around GMOS and the company Monsanto and their hazardous products. Monsanto Company is a multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation. They focus on saving time and money. The corporation is unethical in almost all of its business all over the world. Monsanto tries to control all of the food in the whole world, and The World According to Monsanto tries to make this known. The Symbolic-Interaction…

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…

Results Effects of cultivar genotypic diversity on weeds In overall, the total density of weeds grown in genetically diversified wheat plots was significantly (P ≤ 0.01) lower than that in the monocultures (Figure 2). Weeds grown under monocultures of Shiroodi and ERWYT 91-11 showed the highest density, 33.33 and 30.17 plant m-2 respectively. However, the lowest weed density, 18.67 plant m-2, was observed where these two genetically diversified cultivar/line grew together in a mixture (Figure…
