 **CHECK** Arias, Donya. “USDA Violated Law on Engineered Crops.” __The Nations Health__ 37.3 (2007) p7

I chose this journal because it explains about a court case where Monsanto, a biological engineering firm lost on the basis that the product they had produced was dangerous. This article was also a good find because it gave me some loose ends that I can use in further research. This article also gave me a vague outline of the two sides of this argument. that being environmentalist vs. scientists.

__The World According to Monsanto.__ Dir. Marie-Monique Robin. Perf. George Bush Arte Video 2008

I chose this video because it is a very detailed documentary of the scares that Monsanto presents. Also the documentary discusses both sides of this controversy. Although this documentary is aimed at those who believe that genetically engineering crops is a horrible idea again like the last source this one gives me better loose ends to tie up and has given me many reasons why genetically engineering crops is wrong.

Monsanto Company. __Mansanto__. 2009. 29 March 2009 .

I used this source to cross reference with the documentary cited above. I used this website to gather information on what Monsanto has to say in response to the video produced by Arte Video. This website will help me with the use of exploring Monsanto’s side of the story in this dispute. i will be using this website to take me to other groups that support Monsanto's research.

ERIC: I HAVE RESPONDED TO YOUR DRAFT OF PAPER 3: [|paper 3 eric WITH COMMENTS.doc] [|The movie Into The Wild is about a boy.doc]

[|wild.doc]

This movie is about a boy. A very smart college graduate who is tired of being bound by the rules of society and the expectations placed upon him. He leaves college without telling his parents to find is freedom. He works odd jobs after running away and giving all his money away to charity in hopes of just making enough money to get him to Alaska, where he will spend his days free from the tyranny of his parents, society, materialism and the expectations that controlled his life within the bounds of mainstream human society. The cinematography in this movie is great. The way this movie was filmed was very natural. The story line is portrayed using an artistic lens. Telling this story through a series of flashbacks and narrations based upon the letters and memoirs of Chris McCandless. This movie captures the rustic Alaskan living that Chris experienced for what it was. The character development in this movie for the main character Chris was done in a series of ways. The first was through a series of flashbacks from his childhood showing the family he grew up with and all the pressures that made him move. Second was the way he interacted with all the interesting people he meets on the way. All of the people he meets try and tell him the way he is living is wrong and he should be living differently. Just by the way he interacts with these people and tries to explain why he lives the way he lives. And thirdly through his sisters narraration and memoirs, that use deep and insightful analogies of Chris’s adventure/life. I would have liked to see more character development of Chris’s parents and sister. Although it would not be completely necessary to the story because this story is all about Chris and his journey. The movie really keeps you in your seat despite the long length. This movie incorporates a great deal of conflict. Man vs. himself, man vs. society and man vs. nature. All of these blend beautifully into the story of this boys life. Overall this movie is a great movie. There is not much that could be better. The plot and strong overtones of personal motivation, moral choices and man vs. himself/man vs. nature really make this movie great. I would strongly encourage others to watch this movie.

Witch When you hear the word witch you probably think of a few things black pointy hat, wand, cauldrons, Salem witch trials, Hermione among other things. The word witch actually came from the Old English word Wicce which was a female magician or sorceress. Later the name changed to Wiccian, which took a more dramatic turn to use witchcraft or worship the devil. It has been suggested that the Old English word wigle “divination” and wih “idol” combine to create wikkjaz, which meant something along the lines of “necromancer” (one who stirs or awakens the dead”. It wasn’t until later that it became specific to women’s craft whose original practicers were Saxons. The other meaning that is quite similar comes from Gealdricge, which means a women who practices incantations and scinlaece, which means magic woman. The root word and or meaning of sinclaece means phantom, evil, spirit. An Anglo-Saxon version of this word Lyblaeca means wizard or sorcerer. The word lyb suggests that the person has some knowledge of the use of drugs (medical) and or poison. In Anglo-Saxon the word Wicca translates to Magi or Mage. The word takes a really weird turn in the Anglo-Saxon language too because when you say wicca craft it means mens craft or skill with horses. As you can see the word Witch has a long history and has changed many times. Also the word has many different definitions and possible root changes making it very hard to defiantly say what its origin is. However the word is un-doubtedly a word that came from the Saxon language.

The patient in this story is most defineatly the brute in this story. The brute man comes in kicking and screaming, drunk. He is hauled in by a mob of cops who he obviously threatened or provoked into giving him a nasty gash on his forehead. He is uncontrollable and needed to be restrained to the table with straps. This brute is a force to be reckoned with there is no way to subdue him with out force as seen by how the cops had to take action and how he needed to be strapped to the table. The doctor tried to stitch up his wound but the uncontrollable patient would not stop moving his head the doctor needed to take control before he bled out. The doctor sewed the patients ears to the table. Our opposition found this to make the doctor brute. I would agree that this is a brute means of tactic but does this make the doctor a brute. No. I find that this makes the doctor a good man. He does it to keep the patient from continuing his drunken rampage and not getting the medical attention that he needed. They also stated that he could have used some sort of anesthetic on the patient. From the sounds of the story there was no time for that. There was no way of getting information about what this man was allergic to or if the anesthetics would harm the man. The said that the cops could come help hold him down witch would have been a horrible idea considering they had most likely given him the nasty wound. It would have only made him more brutal and enraged. All of the oppositions arguments were easily displaced. There is no way in my mind that the doctor was a brute he was doing his job. He needed to act quickly and he did just that. He needed to fight fire with fire and he did just that. He became brute to stop the brute from spiraling further. One act of brutality doesn’t make you a brute.
