Band 5+: The use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in food production is a controversial topic. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of GMOs.

Note: Both the topic and the essay were created by one of our users.

Using genetically modified organisms in products is a debated topic. People can get supplied with more products this way. Additionally, it can preserve foods from extinction. However, some foods may lose their nutritional benefits and chemicals, which are injected while using GMOs can be risky for humans’ health.

People can consume more foods, owing to the use of GMOs. There are some places, which are not in a situation to get enough harvest. In these places, the soil may not have some nutritionals for growing fruits or vegetables. Also, because of too hot or too cold weather conditions, people can’t get enough food. Thus, scientists or food engineers can use GMOs in products from these places to get other kinds of foods. For example, individuals can change DNAs of some grains to get corn in some cold countries such as Russia. Moreover, humans can inhibit the extinction of some food generations. The pollution, some diseases, climate change, etc can cause the endangerment of foods. But, with the help of GMOs, stopping this risk is plausible. For instance, the consequences of coffee do not seem good. It may be extinct in 150-200 years, but we can get coffee from other plants with the help of GMOs.

Although these advantages, there are some drawbacks of GMOs. Individuals can face loss of benefits for their health in products. Some worry the quantity can be lower in modified products. The quantity of these foods can decrease because of it. To illustrate, bananas are not healthy as they were after the use of GMOs. Furthermore, the chemicals that are used in modified foods can be unhealthy for people. It’s arguable that these kinds of foods may have a bad influence on sick people. One clear example is old humans. They mostly prefer natural products for their health.

To sum up, using GMOs in food production can support individuals with more stuff to eat and it can save foods from extinction. Nevertheless, some modified foods may not be as healthy as unmodified ones. In addition, they can be dangerous for human health.

Some people think that universities should provide graduates with the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is widely argued that modern tertiary educational institutions should focus primarily on equipping young university students with practical job-related skills rather than abstract theoretical academic concepts. Personally, I completely agree with this perspective, primarily because career-oriented degree programs significantly enhance immediate graduate employability and foster long-term national economic development across modern industrial sectors. Firstly, […]

For people’s lives, few resources are more crucial than not only water but also oil and gold. In many developed and developing countries, a substantial amount of money, efforts and sources is allocated to preventing water, oil, and gold, as they often necessitates the use of various resources, such as agriculture, transportations, economic growth, and […]

In some cities cars are replacing bicycles but some people are choosing bicycles in some cities Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Many people suffer from traffic jams. Preference towards driving cars or riding bicycles are challenging among humans who live different cities. Even though some prefer riding bikes due to ecofriendliness, I still believe that driving cars is more convenient because of time effectiviness and capacity for heavy items. For some, riding bicycles, which is healthy […]

The majority of news being reported is bad news such as wars, famines, accidents and crime. Why do you think that is? Do you think the news should be a balance of both good and bad news?

Nowadays, it is often argued that most of the news reported by the media is negative, focusing on issues such as wars, crime, accidents and natural disasters. There are several reasons why this is the case, and I believe that news organisations should provide a better balance between positive and negative stories. One reason why […]

Many companies are now implementing a four-day workweek. Do the advantages of this new work structure outweigh the disadvantages?

Today, many parts of the world are introducing four-day workweeks for full-time workers instead of traditional five-day schedules. Although this shift might have some drawbacks, I still believe that its advantages are more significant. On the one hand, four-day workweeks can delay the completion of some tasks. Under a four-day workweek, employees have one fewer […]

Some people believe that teachers should focus mainly on teaching academic subjects, not to be responsible for teaching students important life skills. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is a heated debate over whether academic institutions should place greater emphasis on teaching life than academic subjects. While I acknowledge the merits of both approaches, I personally believe that treating them as mutually exclusive would be overly simplistic, rather schools should harmonize them. Advocates of the importance of academic subjects cite various reasons […]
