I
thought the biotechnology reading was a good example persuading with balanced
arguments. In the essay the author uses both arguments that support is view
point and also uses arguments that go against his view. By using arguments that
go against ones views allows him to disprove those arguments which makes his
original argument look better.
The reading itself was about feeding
the poor and genetically modified foods. Personally I have to support genetically
modified foods. While they might not be as healthy for us, it is better than
increasing the amount of people who are starving for food. If we did not
genetically modify foods then the amount of people that would go hungry would
increase a lot faster than food production. In this day and age, making
everything organic or as close to organic as possible is just not feasible. There
are seven billion people in the world and continually increasing. We have to
find ways to increase food production and if that means genetically modified
foods then so be it.
