Is Monsanto as bad as it’s made out to be? The growing science of biotechnology Biotechnology is allowing genetics to combine with genes from many different species and coming up with innovative versions of old-style foods. Varieties of tomatoes‚ soya and potato‚ cucumber and maize have already gone through the blade of biotechnology. Genetic engineering is when scientists remove a specific gene for a good characteristic‚ from the DNA of an organism and place it into another organism. Modern

Most Americans tend to believe that Trump just wants to have mass roundups and deportations of immigrants. Although‚ a government official assured‚ “We don’t have the personnel‚ time or resources to go into communities and round up people and so all kinds of mass throwing fols on buses.

In the article‚ Monsanto’s Harvest of Fear‚ farmers explains‚” With Monsanto seeds‚ a farmer plants his crop‚ then treats it later with Roundup to kill weeds.” Killing the weeds manually takes time and intense labor. Using “Monsanto seeds”‚ also known as genetically modified seeds‚ speeds the process and requires less physical labor‚ making it extremely efficient. Maybe if genetically modified

Genetically modified crops (GMCs‚ GM crops‚ or biotech crops) are plants‚ the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering techniques. In most cases the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species. Examples include resistance to certain pests‚ diseases‚ or environmental conditions‚ or resistance to chemical treatments (e.g. resistance to a herbicide)‚ or the production of a certain nutrient or pharmaceutical agent. Genetic engineering techniques

They say it is the first time a trial has studied the lifetime effects of exposure to GM corn‚ in this case corn which was tolerant to the weedkiller Roundup. The director of Australia’s Safe Food Foundation‚ Scott Kinnear‚ has urged the Federal Government to follow France’s lead in approving an urgent review. "I would even call for them to put a halt on any further regulation and an urgent review of

Vast Wasteland The media is an integral part of mankind’s history and progression. It has undoubtedly played a large role in influencing society‚ for better or for worse. Therefore‚ I qualify Newton Minow’s “Vast Wasteland” (May 1961) that “The power of instantaneous sight and sound…has limitless capabilities for good-and for evil.” In World War Two (1939-1945)‚ the axis and allied powers alike used propaganda to gain support for their respective causes. For example‚ “Tokyo Rose” was a radio
