Since the mid-1900s‚ researchers have been studying and developing the concept of genetic modification in bacteria‚ crops‚ animals and even humans. Successes with these studies have led to numerous improvements in humanity’s way of life‚ such as the production of human insulin‚ the Human Genome Project‚ and GMO crops‚ which allow farmers to harvest disease‚ climate‚ and pest resistant produce. Since the 1980s‚ scientists have been researching a technology that w was more recently named CRISPR; This

Genetic engineering has played an increasingly important part in the business of agriculture‚ resulting in the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) which have been created by altering genetic materials by way of genetic engineering. While GMOs have a multitude of applications‚ I will focus primarily on GMO technology used to grow and develop food crops and the growing controversy surrounding the practice. According to National Agricultural Statistics Service (2010)‚ over 80% of

Behavior Modification Project The behavior modification project is used to work toward better health habits. The project required me to observe my unhealthy behavior over a period of time. Also‚ it requires to create punishments and rewards for said behavior. It is meant for us to modify our bad behaviors by retaining them and creating new heathier habits.

I decided to choose such behavior modification mainly for health reasons. I mainly needed to decrease sugar intake and thus replacing glucose and other sugars that might rot the teeth and cause other major problems later in life such as diseases like Diabetes‚ with fructose.

Genetically modified foods are beneficial for our society because of the nutrients that may be added to foods and the greater ability to produce these foods. While some people argue that genetic modification is still a new technology that should be researched further‚ others will agree that the benefits definitely outweigh the drawbacks. Society today has all kinds of new technology at its fingertips and should be allowed to use this technology to enhance certain things to better the world. The
