In recent years‚ there has been a controversy over the use of GMOs. I decided to find out why this is‚ so I have done my research on the history‚ benefits‚ risks‚ and the different viewpoints people have taken on this topic. While I will continue to do more extensive research‚ I have already researched on several of MCC’s periodicals databases including CQ Researcher‚ Science Direct‚ and EBSCO Host‚ and also on the search engine Google. I will continue in my research but so far I’ve noticed several

In recent history‚ many people have become wary of the infamous genetically modified organisms (GMOs)‚ which are commonly found in many foods and products‚ from corn to cotton. However‚ there are a series of documented dangers associated with GMOs and they have caused a divide between those who support GMOs and hope to reassure the consumer that GMO’s are safe‚ versus those who oppose GMOs and promote the removal of them from their favorite products. Despite strong arguments from both sides‚ there

GMOs Friends? Or Foes? When shoppers are shopping in the grocery store they normally just grab and go‚ no longer does the American society look at the ingredients‚ however‚ what the average American doesn’t realize is what is in their food. GMOs or known as genetically modified organisms‚ in plain English this is saying that they are recreating (cloning) our foods that this society and many others eat without knowing it. GMOs don’t make sense. Some may say that‚ “What is the difference

Ronnie Green Informative Abstract June 28‚ 2011 Image gap is the difference between how a person wants to look and sound compared to how they are actually viewed by others. Projecting your desired image can build trust and is critical to successful communication. Projecting an inappropriate image‚ however‚ can erode trust and cause others to doubt your abilities. Four components of your overall image are your projected first impression‚ your depth of knowledge‚ your breadth of knowledge‚ and

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs)‚ an organism who’s DNA has been altered in such a way that it would be more beneficial‚ has garnered great debate as to whether or not it is harmful or if it will be the crop of the future. Many scientists believe that GMOs have the possibility to end world hunger as well as produce a higher density of crops which would result in less deforestation. This could lead to lower cost for‚ not only farmers‚ but the consumers as well. Secondly‚ the enhancing of certain

aren’t provided enough for the malnourished‚ third world countries‚ can we really say that the creation of GMOs are living up to what Monsanto is telling us? One of the main defenses for GMOs is to help out third world countries; places where starvation and malnutrition hit the hardest. An article for Times magazine titled Grains of Hope illustrates all the excitement and hope that GMOs will solve world hunger. Reporting that the new GM strain in rice creates a new species of rice called Golden

Although most people view GMO foods as bad‚ in about 50 years the earth will be overpopulated (unless there is a 3rd world war) and food will be very scarce. But not to worry GMO foods has you covered. Just imagine food that would never rot‚ is immune to almost every disease or virus‚ and can be farmed in almost anywhere in the world. This could feed our growing population and end global hunger. It’s time to rethink genetically modified foods. There are no immediate differences between foods produced

foods are called GMOs‚ genetically modified organisms. The United States Department of Agriculture defines a GMO as an organism that is produced through genetic modification. Scientists change the DNA sequence of organisms to favor natural selection‚ the process where better-adapted organisms survive and produce more offspring than other plants. This new biotechnology makes it easier for farmers to feed our growing population‚ but the effects of the mutated DNA on our health

persuade the audience Specific Purpose: I want the audience or agencies to be persuaded that there has to be action taken against GMOs. Although they might sound beneficial to providing for people‚ we should not look in the short term but look for the long terms effects. Background: To make it clear‚ I will defining what GMOs are and used in this speech. When we think of GMOs‚ we think of manipulative ways to change DNA in organisms using technology. This is partially correct except for the fact that
