Mark Bittman’s title “Parasites, Killing Their Host” is basically telling us that the parasites are the large corporations and that the consumers are the hosts. He also says that “Big Food is unwittingly destroying its own market.”. He is right though. Big Food isn’t as smart as they think they are. By making these foods their market is getting smaller because it is destroying the consumers, literally.

Geraldine Brooks explores how ignorance, superstition and hysteria can be as fatal as any plague within her novel ‘Year of Wonders’. During the trying year of the plague superstition, ignorance, and hysteria took over the village, causing people to make irrational accusations, decisions and behave immorally, turning against each other. Brooks explores how the plague acts as a catalyst effecting each of the villagers differently on a physical and emotional level. The plague is defined as a large amount of insects or animals infesting a place causing damage, within the novel we see the villagers become these animals. Fear and anguish brought out some of the worst qualities in the villagers causing them to turn against one another creating anger, conflict and damage unto one another.
In today’s society “We have a modern arsenal of chemical weapons to fight off these invaders and we use them lavishly” (D.Suzuki). All this fear and disgust is caused by the way we, as children, have been conditioned by society. David believes this is slowly destroying our planet, and is the cause of hundreds of
A Modern Modest Proposal In our world today, we have an ongoing problem with pollution. In the past decades, the pollution caused by our human race has continued to show an impact on our Earth. Every day our beloved planet is getting hurt more and more and this is making it harder for life to be sustained here. Soon, planet Earth could cease to exist and human life as well as all living species could become extinct. I propose that we eat all of the pollution waste, causing all of the waste to disappear from the Earth (logical appeal).
West Virginia Chemical Spill Effecting Our Environment Industrialization has greatly impacted our Earth. In the article Federal Grand Jury Investigates West Virginia Chemical Spill, the authors, Drew Griffin and David Fitzpatrick, emphasize the damage the chemical spill did to our planet. Many people were left with no water to use and the environment was greatly damaged by the spill. Chemical plants allow our society to develop some service such as water, electricity or disposal services. Conversely, Chemical plants can contaminate the pure water or create harmful diseases to humans and the Earth.
It is often said that “art” imitates “life”. In our analysis of these two works of literature we can see “art” imitating “life”. Those in charge will always be corrupt because in order for the few “haves” to maintain their way of life, those who “have not” must be tricked into believing something. We are soon introduced to this theme of corruption in Suzzane Collins “The Hunger Games” when we first learn of what the hunger games are. Many years before this story takes place a world war had devastated the Earth and its population.
Still to this very day there is no cure for this life threatening disease. The bomb released a very strong substance that we had no clue about. “Others were also nauseated,they all thought (probably because of the strong odor of ionization, an electric smell give off by the bomb’s fission) that they were sick from a gas the Americans has dropped ( Hersey 35).” Things really started to go down,people everywhere was dying left to right. Furthermore, the Americans didn’t necessary hit the military base of the city Hiroshima. Instead the kill hundreds of people.
If you ask me, I think we should get rid of man’s worst invention: the atomic bomb. Just one of these weapons could destroy everything within a ten mile radius. That includes all humans, all animals and all buildings in that area. Mind-blowing… quite literally. I suppose the most obvious reason for getting rid of these horrific weapons is that it kills people.
North Vietnamese were against the Americans during the war and had multiple reasons in hating Americans. Some reasons they hated Americans were because the North Vietnamese “deaths were very many” (Adams) and because of the “the poisons Americans dropped” (Adams) onto their land. By having so many deaths, the families of those people were sad and the North Vietnamese troops lessened. The poisons
