I think that Presidential action was somewhat passive throughout the 1940s and 1950s. In particular Dwight Eisenhower failed to respond to the calls for greater equality as, although he was not actively racist, he was reluctant to lead the country into the next step of improving civil rights. I would say that the responsibility for improving civil rights should fall onto another individual which was Earl Warren. Despite the President calling him the ‘biggest damned-fool I’d ever made’, he was the one that destroyed the legal basis of segregation whilst in his role as Supreme Chief Justice. However, it would not be fair to say that Presidential action was non-existence.

The Inedible Truth After watching the documentary Food, Inc., I have become more aware of the food I buy and eat. The USDA and FDA are most importantly in charge of our food safety, but it seems like there is little awareness and understanding of what they actually do.

The FDA and USDA are supposed to protect Americans.

Compare the benefits of growing GM seeds for crops with the potential negative consequences of using them?
With Cad Mex Pharma’s; as with any global business there are always ethical dilemmas. As far as the viral spread; the average thoughts of a person is to help stop an epidemic. However; as a business person the bottom line and the legal side has to be looked at. After all if the company responsible for the vaccine or cure is not in business there will be no one saved.

I found it very interesting that many companies claim their products to be environmentally friendly just to appeal to the public while they do absolutely nothing good for the health of our environment. In the past few years we have probably all noticed the extreme influx of eco-friendly businesses and products. From hybrid cars becoming popular to whole grain and whole wheat being all the rage, how do we know what is actually good for us as individuals and what to believe from large companies and corporations? It is important for us as humans to take care of the planet we live on and it shows that more people are starting to take notice.
