1. Understand how legislation, frameworks, codes of practice and policies relate to positive behaviour support.

Biotechnology has been lauded as the future of agriculture. However, the business leaders and scientists involved in biotech did not predict how controversial genetically modified foods would be. Despite all the promises and merits proclaimed by research by different biotech companies and the governments like reduced pesticide usage, higher crop yields, the controversy surrounding its application to food production persists in many nations. One of the key issues that have surrounded the GM debate is the labeling of GM products. While some countries require the labeling of such products, others do not. This paper examines how labeling of genetically modified foods affects consumer willingness to purchase such products. By reviewing past

The arguments I choose to assess for truth and validity will be three statements taken from the Application's list 12.2 (a -y) at the end of Ch. 12, “The Art of Thinking” publication. I will start with the statement (j) the premise that "power must be evil because it can corrupt people." Checking the argument for any hidden premises and ensuring it is stated fully and in a clear concise way is the first step. This argument seems to pass the first hurdle, however after checking for errors affecting truth, the argument has flaws. Beginning with, the part of the argument that says power corrupts people is not true

Importantly, there is a current controversy concerning whether genetically modified foods should be labeled as such or if it is an unnecessary extra expense. Indeed, some individuals believe that if a product is genetically modified then it is potentially dangerous to a consumer’s health causing birth defects, increased risk of cancer, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s disease (Greenpeace, n.d.). Therefore, based upon this predisposition they believe that a label should be placed on every product that is genetically modified, since it is the consumers right to know if a product has been exposed to harmful chemicals and pesticides. Contrariwise, others believe that labeling genetically modified foods is not needed, since there is presently no viable

One of the biggest issues in the ongoing debate over GM foods is whether they should be labeled to protect the public’s right-to-know privileges. Mandatory labeling regulations in European nations and several other countries are making a deeper examination of this issue in the United States (Ross). Even though some countries have mandated GMO labeling, the US should not mandate such law.

In his article “Labeling for Better or Worse” (2014), Jim Kling informs readers of the benefits of labeling genetically modified foods, while also discussing a few disadvantages. Kling discusses laws proposed for this issue, the response to these laws, and the difficulties they may face on a national scale, while also educating readers on why labeling these foods has become an issue. The purpose of this article is to enlighten readers as to why this has recently become a hot topic. Directed towards anyone who is interested, the author uses an informative tone to educate

I have witnessed traumatizing events, dying men, being shot, and I went behind enemy lines 11 separate times, all for my beloved country, yet I’m branded AWOL and equated to a coward! I served the Union Army valiantly and gave it my all for 4 entire years. My hard work and dedication were immense, I took on various jobs throughout the four years. Furthermore, I served as a nurse to aid all the wounded, I was a skilled courier and a spy. I love my country for giving me refuge when times were tough, thus, I was willing to give the ultimate sacrifice to preserve it. Countless times, I was nearly killed, but I did not care because I yearned for danger and a way to contribute during the war. I, Franklin Thompson, believe I should be reinstated

Germany, as a unified nation, doesn’t exist in 1860. There are 39 independent German states, one of the which is Mecklenburg. Mecklenburg is known for being the most backward of the 39 states. It has the highest percentage of emigrants of any of the German states as their landless peasants have little reason to hope for a better future. After living in such a poor state with limited freedom and few opportunities, many, such as Johann and Anna Friederike, nee Miko, Voss see emigration as a new chance at life. (Friederike goes by the nickname of “Rike.”)

The persistent war of wars between companies that produced and package genetically modified food versus activists who want such labeled in the market, has led to dishonesty on the part of the producers. The refusal by companies allows for policies that require labeling of such food has been strongly opposed by companies that sell such kind of products (Landrigan). Therefore, such type of opposition raises eyebrows in the public domain. For instance, many people in California in 2012 year voted against labeling on GMOs that was after an intensive campaign by industrial food marketers convinced them. Therefore, hiding of such of information pertain labeling

Generally, some people may think GMO foods are unsafe and they need labels to avoid them. Having GMO labels will prevent bad health because people know what’s in the product and will not but it. Some Americans that is concerned about what they’re eating often look for “Non-GMO” labels on the package, and others may argue that GMO labels won’t make foods safer, only more expensive. Having labels on the product Helps Vegetarians, Americans have right to know what they’re eating, and life-threating allergies.

Consumers do not have the right to know if they are consuming GMO foods because corporations also have the right to not disclose certain information. Especially information based solely on “consumer curiosity.” Under the first amendments, compelled speech. there is a certain amount of information the government can require companies to reveal to consumers. The government can interfere only when there is a substantial and relevant need for it. In the article “There Is No Consumer Right to Know” by Jonathan H. Adler he states when it is okay for the government to intervene, he says “Governments at all levels frequently require the disclosure of potentially relevant information about goods or services offered for sale. Many of these requirements protect consumers from harms of which they are unaware and the requirements are relatively uncontroversial” (27). Because there is no harm’s way with genetically modified foods, once again the government cannot compel speech. One may ask “how do we know these foods are not harmful?” In the article, “There is no consumer right to know” Adler states that according to the reports from the National Academies of Science they concluded that GMOs pose no unique health risk (31). For these reasons, GMO labeling should not be mandated.

Most consumers are unaware of what is really going into their food because producers like Monsanto fail to include a label stating that their produce is a GMO product. One example of this is the fruits and veggies seen in the produce aisle with labels stating that they are ‘organic’. In reality, they are only 95% organic. The other 5% is made up of pesticides to keep that vivid green celery as appealing as ever. Major companies and GMO defendants may argue that labelling GMO’s will do more harm than good. “By 1999, to avoid labels that might drive customers away, most major European retailers had removed genetically modified ingredients from products bearing their brand” (Scientific American 1). This may be true, but without labels, companies like Monsanto are basically deceiving the public. Furthermore, most GMOs are injected with substances that are normally toxic to humans, such as glyphosate, which removes the nutrients from the food and replaces it with chemicals. “Glyphosate draws out the vital nutrients of living things and GMO corn is covered with it” (Honeycutt 1). Zen Honeycutt is a strong opponent against GMOs, and was chosen to write an article about GMOs by a representative of the De Dell

Once upon a time on a pleasantly warm and cloudy day, two donut cops thought they were having their same old tiresome day, where they never catch any criminals...or so they thought. When the two donuts were just leaning up against their newly cleaned police vehicle, with the brand new tires that were perfectly shined, they noticed a mysterious green broccoli running for his life with a brown sack and wool black mask on that had holes cut out for the eyes. This got the donuts attention real quick and they thought it was their lucky day where they could finally catch a criminal. They scurried into their automobile and turned on the flashing, loud, red and blue lights. They slammed on the gas pedal and zoomed after the broccoli. The broccoli

"Attention class, your final grade is to do an oral presentation about a significant person in history. It's due tomorrow!!" Forgetting about it, I fall asleep, waking up the next morning in panic. "I gotta come up with an outline today before class." As I walked to my history class at The University of Texas, a man in a black trench coat was following me. I noticed this a while back, but thought it was just a coincidence and he would eventually turn elsewhere. But then I noticed where I would turn, he would too, losing hope that this was a coincidence. Strangely, I could hear the man running and he bumped into me. Appalled, I looked down to see that he dropped a silver ticket that gleamed into my eyes. Compellingly, I picked up this
