Globalization Case Study
Q1) If the movement of people, food, and manufactured goods can have such a negative impact on public health, should steps be taken to reduce these flows? What other options are there for lowering the spread of global diseases?
In a battle between money and health, usually nations take money rather than health. They will instead find remedies to lower spread global diseases. In globalization point of view, reduce the flow of people, goods and foods will have detrimental effect toward nations economic. This it will bring negative impact toward public health as nations have not enough funding to support public health. I further think that as majority of countries cannot have enough necessary resources to support itself without others help. A …show more content…
What measures can be taken to reduce the incidence of these diseases?
More foods means more chances to be contaminated. Increase trade in food increase the chance of contaminated foods across border, especially the health and sanitary standard of developing countries is different from developed countries, which brings disease toward more developed states.
The food production have become multinational. That means food production manufacturing, and market can be thousands away. This enable infectious agents disseminated all over the world (Kaferstein, 1997).
To reduce the diseases, first, more quality checking for imported goods can be employed if they have diseases history. Second, to set-up international surveillance and communication mechanism (foodborne disease surveillance programs (Kaferstein, 1997)) that if one country got food-borne disease, that country need to notice other countries at once. Third approach is to raise health and sanitary standard of developing countries to be on par of developed …show more content…
Do you feel that the benefits outweigh the costs of producing food in this manner? Why or why not? Explain.
I think the cost of GMO foods are far outweight the so-call benefit of them.
The benefit is not promising, video from films media group shows that, moisance, the largest seed company in the world, claims that genetically modified seeds can produce more cotton (as more as 1500 KG of cotton / acre), to promote sale of their seeds toward India farmers. But the actual averaged production rate is only 400, less than 30% of their claim, according to India government data (Films Media Group, n.d.). The claim of GMO food produce more is not correct.
Cost 1: GMO foods harm human being
According to professor Aris state in journal in 2011, toxin Cry1Ab had been found in gastrointestinal contents of animal who ate GM corps which is insect-resistant. He worried that high risk of exposure would be done through eating contaminated meat (Aris, 2011). I think his worry is due to toxic found in women blood samples, which cannot found in nature. It may due to toxic found in GM
