YOU MUST RIGHT THE PAPER ON THIS SUBJECT! Impacts of Genetic Engineering in Agriculture Genetically modified organisms are substances whose genes get altered through genetic engineering. The process gets done with the aid of adding proteins and chemicals into the genes of the organism. Genetic engineering has been applied in both crop production and animal rearing and led to several impacts both good and bad. Different people have divergent views concerning these GMOs. There are several advantages associated with GMOs in agriculture. First and foremost is that the crops grown are modified in such a way that they can easily resist pests meaning that the output will not be affected, and also the cost of purchasing pesticides will be foregone. Additionally, genetically modified agricultural products are adamant towards the harsh climatic conditions. In the event of lack of rain or severe rain, these crops can give a right output. The output off these plants is assured to be large as they fail to be affected by both pests and adverse climatic conditions. Food security gets guaranteed at all times. GMO crops and animals are also well known for requiring fewer farm implements such as chemicals and time this reduces their cost of production to the farmers. Farmer’s income is thus improved day by day and also the country’s per capita income too. World's population grows at an alarming rate. Ensuring sufficient food supply to this growing population will mean constant deforestation to create more land space for farming. However, with genetically modified engineering crops and animals at hand, we are assured of more food production with less deforestation ( Godfray et al., 2010). Eventually, deforestation gets decreased, and at the same time, global warming minimized. Since genetically modified foods are not 100% natural, there is the need to conduct thorough testing before the release of such products. There has been a case where a product has killed people and affects much more because of not testing it before it’s discharged into the market. These products are also not safe to eat at all. Scientific research has proven that some foods containing GMOs are .

Retrieved from http://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/New-Office-Keeps-Tabs-on-Moonlighting-Police-112636409.html Moonlighting Police Officers Moonlighting of police officers is controversial with departments across the nation. In this week’s resource folder there are several news articles from various metropolitan areas that voice concern over the implementation and regulation of moonlighting. Of concern are the obvious factors of conflict of interest and safety. Conflict of interest is a natural concern among police departments due to the influence and consideration private employers are given by hired public officials. In order to combat common areas which may receive extra consideration are establishments associated with after-hours entertainment and/or drinking establishments. As can be seen in the local news articles some police departments ban their officers from working for these types of businesses. In the resource folder is also the departmental regulation for Arlington, Virginia police officers desiring outside employment. Arlington prohibits police officers from working for a private security firm. However, this does not preclude the officer from working directly for a small business. Other restrictions that Arlington places on their officers includes outside work as taxi cab drivers, bar security and as debt collectors, for obvious reasons. Also contained in the resource folder for week four is an FBI bulletin containing recommended guidelines for implementing an outside employment program. Many departments control the off duty work environment through the creation of a full formal function and associated processes within their department. Prior.
