Human Cloning Case

Human Cloning

From the 1990s, consulting solutions have evolved to be the de facto baseline for solving business issues and offering cover for commercial policy makers. This paper evaluates the issue of genetically modified/engineered food (GMFs) from the approach of rhetoric theory. This paper will particularly use the symbolic interaction by Mead to argue this issue as well as view the issue as from a neo-Aristotelian criticism.

The phenomenon of GM Foods has raised mixed reactions from the public and politicians. The support and opposition have provided various reasons to argue their position. GM Foods are valuable to the environment, health and last longer than natural plants. One rationale for supporting GM Foods is the cost saving effects of GM Foods argues the engineering of BT toxin in the gene of the plants that disseminates in the whole plant system repelling pests, thereby eradicating the need for pesticides. This toxin is harmless to humans yet toxic to the pests. This approach of fighting pests is more cost-effective than the conventional approach of applying the pest externally to the plant, as the later did not eliminate completely all the pests (Are Genetically Modified Food Beneficial). This topic is a concern because it influences the lives of many people. The people affected by this phenomenon are the farmers, end-users and corporate companies in the supply chain of pesticides. This concept influences these groups differently. The farmers see GMO as a means of making extra money and quickly, while the corporate companies involved in the manufacture of pesticides see GM Foods as downfall of their once successful business emperors. The intended consumers of GM Foods view them as threat to health, while politicians see it as a solution to food scarcity.

Mead theory of symbolic interaction proposes the way language functions to produce personal identities and social cohesiveness. Symbolic interaction focus on the way individuals and cultures are shaped by the symbols adopted within the culture. Based on this theory I will argue that genetically
