contributing agents of the widespread of disease within third-world nation. While these agents are unquestionable in their own right, one more agent – that can possibly be derived from the above agents – needs to be added to their ranks.

(genetically modified) groups such as Greenpeace denounced the unnatural solution and swore that golden rice would never find its way to third world farmers. Twenty eight years and approximately 10,000,000 million deaths later golden rice has still not been able to escape the red tape and fear mongering of the First World.

Education is perhaps the most important element in making the world go round. Without it, the people that live on this Earth would be nothing but sitting ducks. In America, education is a citizen’s basic right yet so many do not take advantage of the huge opportunities available to them.
