...Consumer Persuasive Essay Consumers are the people that are eating the food whether it is GMO or not. GMO is really bad for the consumers in many ways and can be dangerous. GMOs are bad for many reasons, but three reasons, unforeseen long term effects, allergies, and side effects. There are many unknown things about GMO just like the unforeseen long term effects of it. Unforeseen long term effects are dangerous because they’re unknown. We don’t what they do or when they’re coming. They have done tests, but have only told us that it doesn’t affect us right when we eat it. Since food is able to leave behind material in us, GMO can leave behind bacteria that will affect us later in life. Also could cause stomach inflammation. They have also found many toxins inside GMO food. An example is when they found GM corn in a pregnant woman’s blood and her newborn. These unforeseen long term effects are really dangerous and should be made aware of....

...Carbohydrates This essay will explain carbohydrates, their structure and two main functions of a carbohydrate and why they are important in the human body. Carbohydrate is a term used to describe food composed of sugar molecules. Carbohydrates are sugars, the two main forms are simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates, also referred to as sugars and starches. One of the main differences between the two is how quickly they can be digested and absorbed. They are one of the body’s main sources of energy as carbohydrates are broken down into glucose quickly. It has a more pronounced effect on blood sugar levels than fats or proteins. Foods rich in carbohydrates also provide fibre, protein, vitamins and minerals but the main purpose is to provide energy (Harvard School of Public Health, 2015). Carbohydrates can be found in all fruits and vegetables in varying amounts, celery, for example, having very little carbohydrate while potatoes have a much higher amount of carbohydrate (Int. Food Information Council Foundation, 2013) Complex carbohydrates are found in foods such as pasta, potatoes, flour and rice and release slowly into the circulatory system. Simple carbohydrates are sugars and are released quickly into the system, simple carbohydrates include, table sugar, fruit juices and most pre-packaged cereals. Eating complex carbohydrates results in starches breaking down slowly and therefore raise blood sugar levels more slowly than simple carbohydrates (sugars) which will...

...Essay 2 A substance can range from being acidic, basic, or neutral depending on where it lies on the pH scale. The pH scale ranges from 14 to 0 and 7 being neutral. What makes a substance an acid is if there are more positively charged hydroniums than negatively charged hydroxyls. An acid when dissolved in water increases the concentration of hydrogen ions. Acids are capable of neutralizing an alkali or base. Acids have a sour taste and on the pH scale it is anything below 7. A way to test out if something is an acid or base is by a litmus paper. A few examples of acids from lowest to most acidic are: urine, lemon juice, and gastric acid, which is in the stomach and helps breakdown the food we digest. If there are more negatively charged hydroxyls...

...Michel de Montaigne’s narrative, “On Educating Children”, he explains how one must put forth character and intelligence before knowledge. It is simple to read then reread for the sake of memorization. For instance, during my toddler years I was able to recite the ABC’s forward and backwards, but if you had asked me to read The Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald, you would be in for a surprise, for I would had introduced characters and plots unknown to man-kind! My point being, just because I was able to regurgitate the alphabet, did not mean that I truly understood the each of the letters. It is through the action of practicing the ‘words’ when one can begin to naturally enrich his mind with understanding. Not all children are one in the same. In today’s educational system, children are treated as just that, identical. So it would come to no surprise to Montaigne that out of a class of 30 individuals, only one or two students would have properly understood the material that was “taught” to the whole class. Montaigne states, “Spewing up food exactly as you have swallowed it is evidence of a failure to digest and assimilate it; the stomach has not done its job if, during concoction, it fails to change the substance and the form of what it is given.” (Screech, 169). Our education system has been out-of-date for quite some time now. Teaching groups of individuals, each with their own mindset, a one set strategy is failure within itself. No one mind thinks exactly alike, so it would...

...controversy topics within science the topic which I selected is Genetically modified organism (GMO’s), their advantages and disadvantages to the environment. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) can be defined as organisms (i.e. plants, animals or microorganisms) in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally by mating and/or natural recombination (WHO 2015). GMOs GM foods are developed and marketed because there is some perceived advantage either to the producer or consumer of these foods. They are used mainly in the agriculture industry in the production of seeds resistant to pest and diseases and rearing of animals on specific diets. There are ethical issues concerning their use and production. No matter how crucial their uses are, the limitation of the knowledge of modern science as well as the possibility of unforeseen negative effects in the health and the environment are some of the issues being raised up against their use (Biology Online 2009.) I do not support the use of genetically modified organism due to the unknown effects to the environment (biotic and abiotic factors) due to limited research made by the producers and suppliers of GMOs. Science is a needed aspect for our world however for ever development there is a need for valid research to assesses the impact (positive and negative) to the environment. The research must look at the effect to the cost to the future. On researching this topic there seem to be limited...

...the safety of products like cosmetics, food, and chemicals (HSI, 2004). Annually, over 100 million animals are used in scientific experiments and medical research worldwide (Taylor, Gordon, Langley, & Higgins, 2008). In comparison with the past, animal testing is now becoming even more prevalent. The quantity of rats and mice used in research has been increasing by approximately 20% per year and is expected to keep growing (Robert, Jacoby & Russell, 1998). The morality of this issue is currently being debated because conservationists are concerned about the animal rights. Hence, different perspectives emerged. Some people believe that animal experimentation...

...Abstract The main purpose of this extended project dissertation is as following: to explore the causes of eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, in particular the biological, psychological and societal causes. Eating disorders are becoming increasingly common in today’s society and the causes of theses disorders are not completely known. This essay explores the symptoms of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, the risks and consequences of suffering from such disorders. The essay also concentrates upon how eating disorders are gradually affecting more and more men and children – something that was not often seen before. The main focus of this project is to discover whether the causes of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa stem from pre-dispositions which are linked with the body and mind or rather stemmed from society. The main biological reasons which the essay focuses on are; damaged hypothalamuses and genetic hereditariness. The main environmental causes of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa that I have studied are media influences and undesirable conditions for raising children. In writing this project I believe that I have developed valuable skills that I will need in my subjects which include; being able to extract key information from large pieces of text, researching, speedy note taking and the ability to weigh up two sides of an argument fairly and without bias. I am also aware that the skills I am developing while writing this dissertation...

...Patrick Zimmer Home | Projects | Music | Sitemap | Contact Genetic Engineering Essay Projects / Academic / Genetic Engineering Essay GENETIC ENGINEERING - The benefits and problems Genetic engineering is a powerful and potentially very dangerous tool. To alter the sequence of nucleotides of the DNA that code for the structure of a complex living organism, can have extremely ill effects although the potential benefits can be huge. Before advances in genetic applications, gene therapy was unheard of and genetic defects were always inherited, plaguing generations. Today genetic testing is widely available, such as prenatal karyotyping of chromosomes to check for genetic abnormalities. Genetic testing is also useful for families in which autosomal recessive disorders are known to exist, when these are planning to have children. In addition, genetic testing is available for people who might have inherited a genetic disorder which only becomes apparent later in life (for example Huntington's Disease). Individual choice decides whether a person would rather know if they are particularly vulnerable to certain diseases or more likely to die young. Knowing that your life may be short could inspire you to make the most of it while it could equally well cause severe depression. Today`s advances in gene therapy make it possible to even remove a faulty gene and replace it with a functioning gene in cells lacking this function. Though these techniques are available, they are still in...

...Behavioural neuroscience is the study of how the behaviour in humans or animals is controlled by biological systems, such as the brain and the nervous system. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that shoots nerve impulses through the brain and it is important as it makes sure that the nervous system functions normally. It's role is controlling the brains reward system, plus our sensitivity to rewards and motivation. However levels and responsiveness to dopamine can differ. Higher levels of dopamine can alter a person's emotional trait as it makes them more eager and more likely to go after rewards such as food, money or education. In addition to this it helps regulate the emotions of an individual. Behaviour is explained by how an individual conducts...

...Midterm Essay Exam Kristian Earl D. Velasco HLTH 522, Professor Claudia Dempsey Liberty University In this essay, the discussion is centered on the structural dimensions—ethical influences, parameters in decision-making, and internal provocations—relating the issues of whether deception among clinicians can be regarded as plausibly sound. These matters are the motivation that plays a role in how the actuality of care is being communicated. Since the provider-patient relationship is mainly constructed by way of trust and confidence, the concept relating deceptions during the course of care takes a crucial part. In view of the fact that internal influences affect the predisposition towards the issues of deception, whether it is justifiable or necessary for the wellbeing of the patient, this concern will be viewed more clearly through the lens of biblical proportions and overall understanding of the value of human life. Truth telling in healthcare setting is a subject of intense debate. The physicians, nurses, and the rest of decision makers involve within the healthcare profession have an extensive familiarity, high level of proficiency and masterful capability in dealing with medical situations. However, ethically related conflicts many times arise regarding the deception or withholding medical information to avoid the complexities that may affect patient care strategies. These matters, unavoidably, are often times the likely reason that may limit the capacity...

...1010 ADHD: Amphetamines Don’t Help Disorders There are more drug users in elementary schools today then every before. Most of these users are children around the ages of seven to fourteen. The drugs they use are highly addictive Amphetamines, similar to cocaine. The worst part is these drugs are prescribed to them for behavioral problems in school. The stimulants these children are taking are for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Because these children do not behave the way schools have described as “normal”, they are drugged with harmful synthetic stimulants. Behavior traits in children can be changed by a proper diet, adequate sleep, and positive activities at home. The principle causes of ADHD are unknown. The attempt to classify it as a disease has failed. There are four categories of disease in the medical world: infectious, contagious, traumatic, and systemic. Infectious and contagious diseases have to do with germs so we can rule those out as classifications. Traumatic indicates an outside force such as head trauma or nervous system trauma so that is also ruled out. Systemic diseases happen when the cells or chemicals of the body begin to malfunction such as cancer. This is not correct for ADHD either and so it is not a disease (Stein 23-24). Doctors turn to other causes and classifications of this disorder including genetics. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) often appears to run in families, and research...
