In particular, there exist regulatory procedures that guide the process of approval of the genetically modified crops and foodstuffs (DeFrancesco 796). The only technique that enables the assessment of such issues is the introduction of the mechanisms like the toxicological tests, for example, in mammals, through the performance of such a process over longer time intervals incorporating detailed blood as well as organ system analysis (Séralini et al. 1). However, it has been challenging to carry out such initiatives ...

Early functionalists such as Durkheim and Spencer developed stage models of societal evolution which tried to explain the development of societies from simple to complex forms. However, these theories were largely abandoned in the 20th century because they proposed unrealistic theories regarding the evolution of societies. Thus, some critics accused evolutionary theories of being ethnocentric because they viewed all societies as inevitably evolving towards capitalism (Turner “Varieties” 164). Moreover, other theories were considered utopian because theorists such as Marx proposed communism as the next stage in the evolution of societies, after capitalism. After being dismissed for many years, the ...

Introduction Wheat (Triticum sp.), an extensively adapted crop, is one of the primitive and primary staple food crops in the world. Wheat is cultivated from temperate; dry to irrigated or rain-fed areas, to warm, humid or cold conditions. Such a high adaptability is attributed to its intricate genome (Acevedo et al., 2002). Wheat cultivation covers more land area compared to other commercial crops and endures to be an essential food grain for humans (Curtis, 2002). Estimations reveal that by 2050, the population of the world will reach 9.1 billion (34 percent greater than today); correspondingly, the food requirement and ...

The first sketches of the landscape in the form of contours of the mountains, trees and rivers appeared in primitive cave drawings.

In a New York Times article dated April 2016, Nelson stated that the running policies of felony disenfranchisement in the United States are comparable to “ the antiquated laws that excluded women, people of color and the poor from the ballot box,” which, according to Nelson, is “an anti-democratic tool with a sordid history ...

Analysis of the Documentary Food, Inc. through the Lens of Ethical Theories and Ideas

Some may wonder whether the food choice is an ethical issue.

In the current society, the adoption of genetically engineered crops, such as soybeans, cotton, and corn, is widespread in the United States following two decades of concerns over consumer reception, and environmental and economic impact ( ...

My two-year crop rotation plan will include seed corn and soybeans. Soybeans will be planted in the first year on a virgin land followed by seed corn in the second year. The inclusion of a leguminous crop, like soybeans, in crop rotation, improves the soil fertility as well as the structure (Mohler and Johnson, 2009). Legumes releases nitrogen to the soil, which will reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer needed for the sweet corn in the following year (Griffin, Liebman, and Jemison, 2000). These crops will be planted in North Carolina.
