ESSAY-Genetically Modified Foods

  In this day and age,many people find living more straightforward compared to the past thanks to the inventions of scientists which facilitate our lives.One of these inventions is the manipulation of genetic codes of organisms that provide food sources.Production of these genetically modified foods has become highly common in today`s world.There are various viewpoints about whether it is a development or a problem.However,it is my considered opinion that genetic engineering opens up great opportunities in agriculture,food and medicine,because it creates more resistant foods and effective medicines,and reduces the losses resulting from being rotten.
  Firstly,more resistant foods and more effective medicines can be produced with the help of genetic engineering.The vegetables which are sensitive to certain conditions,for instance,can be converted into touh vegetables byinserting the particular gene into it and medicines can be more effective by using some specific genes.
  Secondly,losses stemming from being rotten can be reduced thanks to genetic engineering.The vegetables we eat undergo many processes until arriving to our homes.Their remaining fresh during these phases is extremely important in agriculture.By changing some genetic codes,decomposition phase can be prolonged.
  It is asserted that genetically modified foods are harmful to our health,therefore production of these must be terminated.What tey say is true to some extent.It is true that genetically modified foods damage our health a little bit.Hoewever,we live in a highly populated world,so without modifiying the genetic codes,we can not provide adequate food supplies.
  In conclusion,there are various opinions about genetically modified foods.But i take the view that genetic engineering brings about manyadvantages and facilitates our lives.

ESSAY-Effects of Imperialism

  Our world today has changed a great deal in relation to varying governing systems.Nowadays,indication of a strong government refers to having control over the underdeveloped countries,which is known as imperialism.There are diverse viewpoints about the notion of imperialism.However,its negative impacts such as using people as cheap labour,cultural assimilation and inconsiderateness to native cultures of colonies are undeniable facts.
  Firstly,in imperialistic systems,dependent colonies are made to work as cheap labour.In other words,imperialist governments exploit underdeveloped countries by making them work and not giving them much in return.It can be explained as a violation of human rights.
  Secondly,imperialism brings about assimilation of colonies into colonial power`s cultural and religious tradition.That is to say,the exploited colony gives up their national identity.They lose their patriotic feelings as the time passes by and adopt the colonial power`s values.
  Lastly,colonials show lack of respect for the native cultures of colonies in imperialistic systems.This is an undesirable situation which is produced by colonialism.The major aim of the colonials is benefitting from exploited countries as much as they can.Therefore,they do their colonization regardless of any right or respect.
  In conclusion,there are many drawbacks of imperialism,three of which are using people as cheap labour,cultural assimilation and inconsiderateness to the native cultures.The point to be emphasized is that we need to be aware of these drawbacks.
