World Changing Post #4

By: Ling Jie Gu

As food changes for the consumers’ demands, humans change along with it to better adapt to the new sustainable foods that are grown in vast amounts. The saying: “You are what you eat” really helps to explain a lot of issues regarding outcry over genetically modified organisms, the use of pesticides, fertilizers, farmland drainage, and thus the relationship between humans and the natural explicit details of everything.

For industrialized countries that are more suited to mass-production, third-world countries are comparatively less able to deal with food crisis. This is why the UN is so scared over global warming and the issue of food species not being able to be grown in the same place due to some radical change in climate. These countries have a lot more lives at stake and are consequently much less stable (both politically, economically, and population-wise).

This is why the UN is so anxious too over humanitarian rights imposed upon the richest of nations; the richest nations ought to be a good starting point to base a system on. They are model nations for the poorest of the poorest nations. Thus, it is then essential for countries like China to industrialize using correct methodology. Thus, it is also reasonable for China or India or South Korea to adopt practices used by sophisticated countries like America or continental unions like the EU.

It is therefore smart to say that one case of industrialization indicates that in such countries, some people are sometimes cautious in their ways of thinking about other practices. I think tradition might be a high priority. Therefore, sometimes it takes longer for people to understand why certain methods work and certain methods don’t. Either way, it’s not to say that all Chinese are useless or stupid. Merely, it’s just an element that I observed regarding international relations.
