Roundup

The sun rose today like any other. I keep expecting the world to stop. It has been almost seven hundred days since the great fall. Six hundred and twenty seven since Liam Ognyer took power. No one could forget that day. I came home from school like usual and my mom ordered my sister and I to pack our bags as quick as possible. She tore out of the driveway and drove off. My sister kept crying and asking where our dad was. She refused to answer and ever since that day we’ve been living in a secret…

Monsanto is one of the main plant genetic engineering companies and created genetically modified plants resistant to glyphosate, a herbicide also known as Roundup. Herbicides are known for killing crop plants and weeds; therefore, with the creation of herbicide resistant plants, herbicides can be sprayed on a field of genetically engineered crop plants, modified to be herbicide resistant, in order to kill weeds…

Most people know of someone who has a food allergy if they do not have one themselves since they are so common today. These allergies range from soy to peanut to gluten to eggs and many more. Between the years of 1997 and 2011 food related allergies among children rose by nearly 50% which makes the odds of knowing someone personally or having one of your own much higher (“Facts and Statistics - Food Allergy Research & Education”). The severity of allergies certainly varies between people which…

Genetically Modified Organisms Genetically Modified Organisms, (GMO), definitely raises some concerns when it comes to health and if it is actually safe to consume, since the US still allows the use of GMO, we should at least be aware of which foods contain it and which ones don't. We as the consumers should have the right to decide what we put in our bodies and especially know exactly what ingredients are in the foods we are buying. I certainly don’t want to be feeding my children and my family…

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally (Genetically Modified, 2006). GMOs are produced by forcing DNA from one organism into another. Soybeans, corn, canola, plums, and rice are few of the GMOs occurring in our world. Products continue to be developed and experimented in laboratories. Naturally modified organisms bring up the question about GMOs and if there is a difference between the two.…

According to a governmental publication in 2009 over 1 billion pounds of pesticides are used in the United States alone, each year, and approximately 5.6 billion pounds are used worldwide. This is an astonishing factoid in which should formulate concern within the citizens of not only Malone and its surrounding areas, but also in all people scattered throughout the world. Chemicals used in pesticides aren’t specific enough to only pursue their intended targets, in addition to killing only a…

objectives. I would also suggest a platform or assigned time for feedback on a regular basis. I found that problems or issues were not expressed until later in talks and then it was harder to resolve. My system would be to implement a weekly or daily roundup of feedback (depending on the project timeframe) to resolve this issue (Albert & Fetzer, 2005). My final strategy for my future team work specifically online, would be to form strong bonds with team members. In the team creation I would…

herbicide tolerant. The overuse of herbicides creates superweeds, which then require more herbicides. The use of more and more herbicides is not only unsafe for the environment, but also unsafe for human consumption. Also the herbicides, such as Roundup, is linked to birth defects, hormone disruption and cancer. GMOs harm the environment along with birds, insects, and many organisms that create our ecosystem. This results in a reduced biodiversity. Glyphosate, a chemical used for herbicides…

Genetically modified organisms, also known as GMOs, describes organisms that have altered their genes through various methods of modifying DNA. These transgenic organisms are often thought to be unnatural because of the artificial process of transferring foreign genes into other organisms. GMOs can negatively impact multiple aspects of everyday life. This process can be harmful to the environment because of their excessive amount of herbicides required for these organisms and their contamination…

specifications, the organization responsible for the “clean up” of the guns that fall under the restricted categories would face the difficult task of locating all the guns that have already been sold to the public. The process of going through with a “gun roundup” would require a substantial amount of money to complete the operation and could possibly take years to complete much of the task at hand. One major advantage that could come with this solution would be the immediate change in the law…
