Beef Irradiation: The Process, Radiation Levels, Regulations and Concerns
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper on beef irradiation. Irradiation is a process used to kill harmful molds, bacteria and pathogens in foods and has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Overall, it has been found to be a more effective process than traditional methods in addition to the fact that there is little or no change to the texture, flavor or color of the meat. Beef irradiation is considered to be one of the most important because beef is often consumed when it is raw or partially cooked; irradiation kills E. coli 0157:H7 which is considered an “illegal adulterant” in beef and would lead to mass recalls if present; and, irradiated beef can be labeled “E. coli Free”. Because of the use of radiation in the process, consumer groups are concerned that the process may produce carcinogens and irradiation could also open the door for exploitation in that it lowers the bacteria levels found on spoiled meat. Irradiation however, is considered as a plausible alternative under kosher law which restricts the use of the traditional chemical and heat treatment processes used in the killing of bacteria on beef. Used in over 40 countries and approved by the U.N. World Health Organization, beef irradiation overall seems to have more advantages than disadvantages. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Benefits of Regulatory Cooperation between Firms
[ send me this paper ]
A 2 page paper discussing the possibility of producers sharing pollution permits. We already know that many organizations will not operate with the good of the environment as their top priority.

Such sharing could allow producers to operate more efficiently and certainly not increase released toxin levels. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Bottled Versus Tap Water: Environmental Impact
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Paying for water was as foreign a concept fifty years ago as traveling by jet-propelled body packs is now in the twenty-first century, however, the quality of today's tap water has declined to the point where bottled water has become a safer and more palatable option that consumers have responded to over the past three decades. Yet the environmental disadvantages of choosing bottled water over tap have been proven quite significant due to the necessary steps required to reach consumers. As Jungbluth (2005) found, it is not so much the content - as in carbonated or plain - that makes a greater environmental impact as it is the manufacturing and delivery aspects.

Capra's "The Hidden Connections"
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Mankind likes to think of itself as a unique entity amidst all of creation that is entitled to special advantages over and above other sentient and inanimate beings. This egocentric perspective been both a service to and menace for the entities that live alongside human beings on planet Earth; through the inherent need for progress, man as a species has thought little about the consequences his technological advancements have upon the world and beyond and as such has made it more than just a little challenging to sustainably coexist. Humanity's greatest downfall, according to Capra (2002), is the incapability to understand how every last thing within the scope of man's existence is inextricably interconnected; to ignore this realization is to progress as a species at the grave expense of sustainability.

Careless Mining And Timber Harvesting: Kantian Theory
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Careless mining and timber harvesting in tropical rain forests can destroy entire species of flora and fauna, create soil problems, and even threaten the existence of primitive people who are reliant on what the forests provide. Yet in a number of countries business entrepreneurs are exploiting the rain forests for profit. Kantian theory addresses just such self-seeking behavior, inasmuch as the philosopher believed that such tremendous devastation is not accomplished for the greater good. According to Kantian duty, those who compromise their ethical responsibilities do so in disrespect for the understanding of universal duty. The writer discusses Kantian theory as it relates to careless mining and timber harvesting. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
