Here is information that you could use to argue either side of this debate.

Agree
- One could argue that Harry Truman played a significant role in the Red Scare due to his speech to Congress regarding the Truman Doctrine. In this speech, he asks Congress to give financial assistance to countries like Greece and Turkey. He discusses how the fate of these countries, and other ones all over Europe, rest in the fate of the US. If the US does not help these countries, communism can take over. This could lead to repression and hard economic times for millions of people.

Disagree
- Even though he created the Truman Doctrine, Truman did not scare up nearly as much fear as Joe McCarthy. McCarthy accused hundreds of people of being communist, played a significant role in the growth of the House Un-American Activities Committee, and used fear tactics to scare individuals. Truman was not nearly as extreme in his fight against domestic communism.

Which of these is an argument against the production of genetically engineered food
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

D. Genetically engineered food is unnatural and possibly dangerous to eat

Explanation:

One of the biggest arguments about the genetically engineered food is that it is not natural food and it can be dangerous to eat. It is still hard to evaluate the effect of the majority of the GMO's as they have been introduced very recently. There are some GMO's that have proven to be very damaging though, like the GMO soy for example. It has been proved that this soy actually manages to reduce the amount of testosterone in the men, and that it is the main cause why the testosterone in the men in the Western world has dropped as much as 50% in the past few decades. The women have increased levels of anxiety, aggression, and depression because of the GMO soy. So taken this in consideration it doesn't seem that it is a good choice to consume this type fo foods.

vagabundo [1.1K]

America failed to predict the attack made by the Arabs and Egyptians.  They still believed that such an attack on Israel would not be possible.  Still, this caused the Israelis to beef up their intelligence and their defense.  This also establish peace relations between Egypt and Israel.
