Research the issue of genetically modified foods, and then write an essay to be read by your peers in which you argue either for

or against their use. Support your position with evidence.
Genetically modified foods are crops that farmers have modified by taking more desirable traits and putting them into one. This leaves crops being more tolerant to things such as insects, droughts, and disease. Many people believe that modified foods are unhealthy and bad for your body, but after doing research it is simple to see that genetically modified foods were made to help us. They are thoroughly tested for allergies before being put on the market and can even be used to make foods more nutritious.

The testing process for GMOs (genetically modified organisms) is tough, it can take up to 7-10 years in the United States. Not only is the health and safety tested for humans but wildlife and the environment as well. According to Insidebattelle.org “Part of the testing includes nutritional analysis and protein analysis and characterization. In these studies, researches look at the proteins and peptides expressed in the bioengineered organism compared to the original. This allows researchers to identify any new proteins created by the GM crop that could produce an allergic reaction or other adverse effect. Battelle helps companies conduct many of the required studies, including allergen testing for GMO products.”

By testing our crops this thoroughly we also gain the opportunity to make our crops healthier. This is achieved by adding more vitamins during the growing process. For example, according to insidebattelle.org “Researchers are using biotechnology to make genetically modified foods that provide real benefits to humans and livestock. For example...This tomato was engineered to produce higher levels of nutrients called anthocyanins, which have been shown to be protective against a wide variety of human diseases. The Golden Rice Project seeks to bring vitamin-A enriched rice to market to help prevent nearly 500,000 cases of childhood blindness and 2 million deaths caused by a vitamin-A deficiency in third world countries each year.”

In conclusion, genetically modified foods have greatly improved our crop businesses because of the intense allergy and environmental safety testing along with adding healthier alternatives. GMOs help the environment and people’s health, therefore, have created a positive impact on the world.

,,To Kill a Mockingbird"
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Scott assumed that Miss Caroline will automatically understand that Walter will not accept her offer of money to buy lunch.

The residents of Maycomb automatically associate "the Cunningham tribe" as a family with a sense of pride in their own capabilities.

Explanation:

In Chapter 2 of Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird", the scene is in the school's classroom. Miss Caroline had offered a quarter to Walter Cunningham who had not brought any lunch. So, when Scott told her that he's a "Cunningham", she assumed that she will immediately understand the fact that the "Cunningham tribe" are a family with a strong sense of pride in their own abilities.

The residents of the town had already associated them with that label. So, it is understood by them that if anyone is a "Cunningham", then there is no possibility of that person taking or accepting any charity. Even though they are poor, the Cunningham have been shown as not accepting any form of free things. Mr. Cunningham had always paid back Atticus if any help was rendered to him. If he can't pay back with money, he'd still pay back with goods like nuts and vegetables. Never would he take any charity or free help from others.

Do you think that how you act/present yourself on social media/online is different than in person? Why do you think that is? ( I
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Yes, how I act on social media is not how I am in person. Even though I try as much as possible to present the true picture of who I am on social media, I sometimes realize that only the good and glamorous part of me is presented to the world. I hide my faults from my friends and post nothing about them. This is deceptive as there is no person whose life is all glamorous. People who are easily carried away by all the show off can become depressed as a result of that.

Explanation:

This question requires that the reader should examine his activities on social media to find out if these activities are true representations of their offline activities.

A close examination of my activities on social media shows a presentation of only the good and exciting aspects of my life. My imperfections are hidden from the world. This is not a balanced representation of my personality and it is somewhat deceptive.

In one well-developed paragraph, contrast the advice given to Ophelia by Polonius and Laertes. Each counsels Ophelia against a r
Marianna [84]
The advice that Ophelia receives from her brother Laertes is extremely different from the advice her father Polonius gives her. Laertes gently reminds Ophelia that Hamlet might really love her, but since he is in line for the throne he and might not actually be able to choose his wife for himself. He warns her to keep her affection "Out of the shot and danger of desire," meaning to not give in to her desires, otherwise she might ruin herself for future potential husbands. Polonius' advice is a little bit more aggressive. He scolds Ophelia for giving Hamlet too much attention, and says that there is no way Hamlet actually loves her. He says that his vows she "<span>must not take for fire", meaning she should not take his words for true passion. The overall difference between Laertes and Polonius is that Laertes is much gentler, and believes Hamlet might actually have feelings for her right now, and Polonius is putting more blame on Ophelia, saying there is no way Hamlet actually likes her.
