However, what exactly is the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement? Also, how does this affect society? While the last question is too broad to answer; this paper will show the effects

Use this label and save the dolphin: An analysis about Mexico-USA tuna embargo Since the beginning of trade agreements between rich and poor nations, many restrictions have been affected undeveloped countries because of them. In this sense, these impositions transcend the commerce among countries by introducing policies that may have a negative effect on the environment. Even those policies could be considered as a form of imperialism. To sign these agreements, undeveloped countries should modify

500,000 dolphins caught as bycatch per year by fishing industries alone(NOAA 8). There was an act, the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act, that was passed in 1972. This act’s main goal was to reduce marine mammal bycatch. This act required that “scientific studies were initiated, observers were placed on fishing boats, fishing gear was inspected, and boat captains with high dolphin mortality rates were reviewed(NOAA 8).” The also modified fishing gear in order to reduce how many dolphins were caught

hunting of dolphins in the city of Taiji, Japan. In it, the cast exposes how fishermen in an area, called the Killing Cove, brutally kill dolphins for meat, and they draw attention to the effect that meat has on people. The section “Dolphin Food” casts light on the practice of killing dolphins for meat, who actually eats that meat, and what exactly is in it. According to the film, an estimated 23,000 dolphins are killed every year for consumption. The vast majority of people do not eat dolphin meat or

labelling products to be sold inside a richer country. Labelling, as will be seen in this paper, have affected the relations between Mexico and United States of America in tuna exports, which is considered as an environmental issue because the supposed dolphin fishing by Mexican producers. Therefore, it will be pertinent to discuss the implications of what it will call eco-imperialism. For this purpose it has been chosen the problem derived with North America Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), as an example

with delphinids contrary to dolphins, once they are caught in purse seine nets with yellowphin tuna, they cannot escape it and therefore die. Although this issue what happening as early as in the 1950’s, it only started getting monitored in the 1970’s. for the many years when it was happening, the annual mortalities were around 200-500, 000. Even with the new monitoring, many dolphins are continuously being killed through this fishing technique. Thanks to dolphin safe labels and movement, there has

Autism is a behavioral syndrome usually presenting behavior abnormalities before the child is thirty months of age.

GMO labeling Ever since their entrance onto the consumer market in the last two decades of the twentieth century, genetically modified organisms (often referred to as GMOs) have been getting mixed reviews from the public. Genetically modified consumer products (primarily food) have pushed the barriers of some people's comfort levels. Born out of either a lack of knowledge or a sincere concern for public health or the environment, a consumer rights movement has been planted

Introduction The main causes of overfishing are poor fishery management with a lack of regulation, unrestricted access to the ocean and illegal fishing. During the last few decades the demand for edible seafood globally has skyrocketed and the high demand is causing us to overfish to keep up with the demand. Unfortunately, fisherman are catching more fish than can be naturally reproduced. There are only limited regulations in place, which means that fishing companies are basically fishing when and
