Monsanto's Argumentative Analysis

Europe, in the past, has carried anti-American sentiments spurring the media due to many reasons. The first reason was Monsanto, the American multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation, was the first company to push GM crops to Europe. The company also failed to label them which caused much controversy and unrest among European consumers. The Europeans had claimed “they were being deprived of their freedom of choice.” and were “angered when they "tried to educate them about the value of GE crops” The second reason was because Monsanto had made an investment in many seed companies, suspicion arose when rumors about a “terminator transgene” would prevent crops from producing fertile seeds which would force farmers to buy new seeds harvest.
