Con Golden Rice Pros And Cons
I decided to go con golden rice. I was given the Pro golden rice, but because the con had more information, and logical facts, I changed my idea to con. Some other reasons why I picked con is that the gut does not absorb β-Carotene very well. Another reason is that β-Carotene changes the color of the rice. The last reason why i'm con golden Rice is that some countries banned golden rice. β-Carotene does not absorb into the gut well. Because of this, it could cause problems in the digestive problems in the body. Not only that, but it can affect other parts of the body. It also means that it will take longer for people to get the vitamin A into their bodies. β-Carotene also changes the color of rice. The color is more of a golden look to it.

For example, men are the providers, the head of the household or the family while women are the mothers, the caregivers, the cooks, the cleaners and they are behind their husband. A double standard is enforced in many cultures and that is due to Religion. Religion has a very relevant role in society and certain gender roles are justified through religion. Religion itself is a paradigm that influences the gender roles in many cultures and our society. Whether it is Christianity. Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, or Buddhism; there are specific roles for men and women that influence the way men and women are supposed to act.…
