The problems that I continue to read occurring in the world disturb me to no end. I am sick and tired of all the crap that people do to the environment all in the name of humans. The idea that a human can think, "i get what I want" is just wrong on every level. What our population is doing to our harvest of crops and animals should not be happening. It is wrong from an ethics, a moral, and a health stand point. A new process of maintaining our food supply must be found.
         Philosophy is one of the most interesting subjects an individual can study; it deals with the questions of human mind and questioning their importance and value to the world. Ethics and philosophy hold a close relationship, due to the fact the both pertain to the importance of figuring out whats right and whats wrong. Today people need to ask themselves if genetically modifying foods is the best answer. My environmental science professor- Dr. Bruck- was telling the class the other day the dangers of genetically modifying food. The other day there was a farmer that had his chickens babies come out mutated with their body parts where they should not be. He said this farmer was arrested for not carefully using the process right. If genetically modifying foods can do this to an organisms offspring imagine the effects it can create on the human population.
          Another issue that humans do not seem to understand is the moral duty that is owed to the organisms that surround them. There are 8 billion humans and 19 billion chickens in the world. Many would look at this statistic and say "great", but they do not seem to ask why there is 19 billion chickens. Humans have been drugging them and forcing them to grow and reproduce at uncanny rates which can be considered animal cruelty. It is undoubtedly unfair that humans do this for their benefit.
           Eventually there will come a time where human ways will bring chaos to the world whether it be through food, global warming, or nuclear terror. As a race, we must make our duty to ensure that we treat the world as the responsible, intelligent species that we are. It is time to realize the problems that currently face the world and attack them before its too late.
