    Roundup and War I Monsanto

    At the beginning of this case it breifly explains when Monsanto was founded which was in 1901 by John F. Queeny in St. Louis, Missouri. He grew this company to be one of the world's largest seed companies today. They first started out producing artificial sweeteners called saccharine, which was sold to Coca-Cola back when Monsanto was still becoming big. Monsanto also sold caffeine extract and vanillin, which was an artificial vanilla flavoring that Coca-Cola also bought from them. During World War I Monsanto saw an opportunity to grow into the chemical industry and started specializing in plastics, its own agricultural chemicals, and synthetic rubbers. A few years later, Monsanto created its first ever Roundup herbicide that would later take the company to the top. Although Monsanto has found a way to keep crops from becoming eaten or killed from insects by their Roundup herbicide, it has also become a huge consumer issue. With Monsanto genetically modifying seeds to insure they grow quicker and healthier than standard crops, people are starting to wonder whether or not these seeds are bad for our environment or even the people and animals consuming them. Monsanto has had a lot of lawsuits against them consisting of one from Dupont, which is another leader in the seed distribution industry. The alligation was brought up from the American Antitrust Institute for alleged anticompetitve activities. The instution had argued that Monsanto was hindering competition due to the patent on their seeds and limiting seed inovation. This is just one of the lawsuits or problems that Monsanto has…

    Globalization

    After I read the novel “To Kill A Mockingbird”, I think that the writer want tell the people should not judges a person by first impressions, because she believes these judgments are mostly incorrect. I choose Boo Radley as a good example for that. Through several chapters, most of you would feel that he is an eccentric boy, different from other kids. He always stays at home; do not play with other Childs, and also attacked his father. The boys asking him come out to play each other, but everyone is scary. As Dill said, "We're asking him real politely to come out sometimes, and tell us what he does in there—we said we wouldn't hurt him and we'd buy him an ice cream." "You all have gone crazy, he'll kill us!" "It's my idea. I figure if he'd come out and sit a spell with us he might feel better.” (5.72-76). So Boo seems like a good question to them. Also though those sentence I can image the feeling which it head of them.…

    Globalization - Wikiwiki

    Humans have interacted over long distances for thousands of years. The overland Silk Road that connected Asia, Africa, and Europe is a good example of the transformative power of translocal exchange that existed in the "Old World". Philosophy, religion, language, the arts, and other aspects of culture spread and mixed as nations exchanged products and ideas. In the 15th and 16th centuries, Europeans made important discoveries in their exploration of the oceans, including the start of transatlantic travel to the "New World" of the Americas. Global movement of people, goods, and ideas expanded significantly in the following centuries. Early in the 19th century, the development of new forms of transportation (such as the steamship and railroads) and telecommunications that "compressed" time and space allowed for increasingly rapid rates of global interchange.[9] In the 20th century, road vehicles, intermodal transport, and airlines made transportation even faster. The advent of electronic communications, most notably mobile phones and the Internet, connected billions of people in new ways by the 2010s.…
