Independent farmers cannot sell the seeds as it is illegal to do so and would result in Monsanto suing the seller and the buyer of the product. Monsanto paid farmers to report any other fellow farmers that was using their product illegally, since Monsanto patented the product, they held all of the rights to the product. A fellow farmer reported to Monsanto that Percy Schmeiser had used Roundup Ready seeds on his crops. The neighbor quickly concluded that Schmeiser had done this because Schmeiser’s crops had remaining standing well into the next season. Monsanto expeditiously sent employees who had trespassed onto Schmeisers property illegally.
The FDA greatly investigates these companies to make sure that food, human and veterinary drugs, medical devices, cosmetics, and electronic products are safe to sell to the public. If the products turn out to be unsafe, the company will have to announce a recall. In this scenario, the FDA had yet to investigate Pro Health’s new product ProBio. Before then, Pro Health had found out that ProBio had the same brand name as another product already out for purchase. Having the same brand name as another product is also one of the things that are against the FDA’s regulations because this could protect the consumer from buying the wrong drug because of the similar names.
Well, since the 1970s, the plant's bud or flower has been used to smoke, and because of its Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), one of the sixty cannabinoids or chemical compounds found in the plant, it causes a "high" sensation and certain addiction. Since then, without thinking it through, all kinds of hemp and similar plants with the same genus were prohibited, for people using it in a, not wrong, but different way, the plant paid the price and all its other benefits went to waste. After the US prohibited it and bad advertised it, the other countries followed, and thus the big Marijuana taboo was born. Is it that bad of a drug? No, hundreds of studies have been made on marijuana and it’s been proved that the chemicals found in the part of the plant that's smoked, does not affect the brain, it does not "kill brain cells" and it does not causes a cancer.
Nearly a century ago from today, the ford Model-T (collectively known as Tin Lizzie) was designed and manufactured to run on either petrol or a corn-based fuel called ethanol. Even before that, in 1897, Rudolph Diesel demonstrated that engines could run on peanut oil with his fundamental engine design. Today, following an eight-decade detour in the petroleum age, biofuels are back, fuelled by a powerful combination of advancing technologies, rising environmental concerns, farmer support, and soaring oil prices. An investigation into alternative fuels has been prioritized to develop a renewable source of energy capable of supplementing fossil fuels after their depletion, while also having minimal environmental effects. Within today’s society, there is a growing understanding of the problems related to fuel products.
Consider, for example, the controversial issue of abortion. Individuals with particular religious beliefs tend to view laws allowing mothers an abortion choice as unjust, while individuals with other value systems might view such laws as just. Similarly, some people might find some laws unjust because of their personal interests. For example, law that limits the emission of harmful substances from the factories protects people from the harmful hazards of these things. However, a factory might find this law unjust, as he has to install expensive filters to dispose of the harmful gases and chemicals from its waste.
The second mistake involved Ernst & Whinney, which was the auditor for ZZZZ Best after Greenspan was let go. During the interview between Greenspan and the congressional subcommittee, Greenspan reported that Ernst & Whinney never got in touch with him to talk about ZZZZ Best and to hear his side of the story as to the reason of ZZZZ Best letting him go. Had this conversation occurred, Greenspan might have been able to discuss his neglection to inspect the insurance restoration sites, which therefore could have given Ernst & Whinney a heads up to do so. Ernst & Whinney should have contacted Greenspan because it's a normal protocol to adhere to, and because it could have stopped the fraudulent acts of ZZZZ Best
He dismisses this argument by listing other activities that could be harmful to an individual such as smoking tobacco, riding motorcycles, and having unprotected sex. This comparison makes the idea of prohibiting these activities because they are harmful to the individual participating in them seem rather ridiculous. Basically, illegal drugs CAN be harmful to a user; at the same time, smoking tobacco IS harmful to a user, yet smoking cigarettes is perfectly legal. I think Huemer’s argument effectively defeats the prohibitionists’ standpoint that drugs should be outlawed because they are harmful to the user. Second, the author addresses the prohibitionist argument that illegal drugs cause harm to people around the user as well.
13) This form of thinking is naïve because one just has to look at the news to see what technology without regulations has done to the environment, people and our future. We still see and some of us feel the backlashes of what technology has brought from global warming to cancer caused by asbestos. We now see that “The myth of technology as unmitigated blessing was destroyed.” (pg. 14) With that said, we must not lean toward the contrasting view of a techno pessimist which tends to emphasize the risks and costs of technological changes; believe that many social ills are attributed to technology; and think that technology needs to be controlled or is incapable of being controlled. (pg.
The reason for this, in my opinion, is the fact that the US Government wants the public to believe that marijuana is “bad” and should remain illegal. This “cover-up” began in the early 1900’s and still remains in effect today. Many Americans are suffering unjustly because of the illegalization of a drug that is safer than any legal drug on the market today. The hemp plant has many industrial uses and medicinal
After the origin of coffee in Ethiopia it spread to Egypt. Egypt also helped to expand the cultivation process of coffee. Although coffee was originally discovered in Ethiopia, just across the Red Sea from Arabia, it was in Arabia that coffee beans were first roasted and brewed similarly as they are today (Appleyard). Arabian coffee is the exemplary coffee of the world. Arabia lends its name to the highest quality coffee plant in the world, Coffea Arabica.
