Scanlan would take it upon himself to investigate why the recommendations were not being addressed only to be faced with the issue of politics being its driving force. The major issue for the dismissal of the reports by the inspectors from the mine in Illinois was politics. (Illinois Labor History Society, 2012) Scanlan resorted to recommending closing down the mine because of the ignoring of his reports by the administrator and officials. The saddest part of the Illinois mine disaster is that 111 lives have been altered forever in order for the government to be “politically correct” instead of doing what should have be done without even thinking of their own positions and how it would affect them.

The optimists are idealists that hope that nothing will go wrong with the manipulations. However, skeptics analyze the situation more and wait out for more concrete evidence. The altered cow’s milk might not have any side effects at this moment, but it may be dormant until later in life. The milk producers will be able to bring in a high yield of milk annually if the gene manipulation works, however, they will not be able to convince the countless skeptics that genetically altered cows produce a safe product. Instead of profiting from a high yield the producers will lose customers because of their anxiety towards the foreign milk.

The only physicians the author interviews in his book involve the topic of genetic doping. How could you write a book on steroids and not interview Harrison Pope, M.D. from Harvard, the leading expert on anabolic steroids? Jendrick dismisses the medical consequences of steroid use, blaming the media for sensationalizing and spreading misinformation about steroids. While I agree that the media uses scare tactics to alarm the public and grab more ratings, his claim that 99% of testicular shrinkage returns to previous size after discontinuation of steroids is more irresponsible.
They were sent to internment camps over 100,000 were ordered by government custody and were announced as disloyal. All of their hard work was put to waste however many people wouldn’t buy from them.

Wilson uses this example to demonstrate that the two groups are constantly at battle rather than finding a way to work together to fit both of their needs. The right wing anti-environmentalists idea of conservation is stocking trout streams and planting trees around golf courses Wilson uses this sarcasm in the passage to once again reveal the inability of the left-and-right winded groups to take the time to hear each others’ views. Instead, the groups are in constant conflict and mockery of each
Technology impacts the environment, people and the society as a whole. The way we use technology determines if its impacts are positive to the society or negative. For example, (POSITIVE IMPACT) we can use corn to make ethanol and this ethanol can be used as fuel. Fuel can be used to run machines and cars which will increase on output of manufacturing industries at a lower cost. (NEGATIVE IMPACT) However, if we decide to shift large quantities of corn to fuel production from food production, humans will be left with no food and this will cause world hunger which even be a worse situation.
