How genetics influences our lives?

How would life be if there’re no genetics? How would it be if everyone would be identical? It’s impossible to know for certain, but there’s one thing we can be sure of. In various ways, future life will be very different from life today.

One point is that in today’s life we are already able to influence the increasing of vegetables, which is called genetic engineering. But there are lots of states in which gene manipulation is forbidden. Also Austria has the opinion, that consumers and producers should have a true choice to decide to which type of agricultural products they give preference. Another point is that we’re also able to clone, but there’re lots of aspects which are inhuman. Some researchers think of the possibility to cultivate humans, for organ donors only.

Recombinant DNA research involves potential dangers. Genetic engineering could create dangerous new forms of life, either accidently or deliberately. A host microorganism may acquire harmful characteristics as a result of insertion of foreign genes. For example plants arise, whose consequence will be that the original plant will die out. If disease-carrying microorganisms formed as a result of genetic manipulation escaped from laboratories, they could cause a variety of diseases.

In my opinion are positive and negative aspects on genetics. Without genetics lots of people would die because of cancer or other diseases and no one would be able to help. But there are also aspects which are inhuman, like I told before.

So, genetics have their good and bad points, like everything in life. I for one would want that resarchers will only take the positive points out of it.

"Death of a Salesman", Arthur Miller

What happens when a Salesman doesn’t want to travel anymore? When he shows everyone that he’s still the best, but he knows that it isn’t like that. The drama “Death of a Salesman”, by Arthur Miller, shows what happens when everything changes.

Willy Loman is a sixty-year-old traveling salesman. He is not able to keep his mind on street or on present because of that he gets in trouble. In the book he is in his mind always travelling between reality and memory focused on the moments where his life went wrong. When he starts being a salesman, he was one of the best. But as the time goes by he understood more and more that he isn’t well liked anymore. In the end he realizes that the only things you can count on are the things you can touch. His brother Ben, by now a successful man, wants to tell him that years ago. Despite this, Willy persisted that his success would come from being well liked.

Because of the travelling in time it’s sometimes really difficult to understand if it is real of if it is memory of Willy. Also the fact that Ben died is difficult to understand because Willy is very often talking to him

“Death of a Salesman” is a very interesting and engrossing book. It is described very detailed and Arthur Miller also adapted themes which are always on common, for example the changes of lifestyle habits and nature during the years. I think this is a book everyone should have read if this person is interested in a books that shows the globalization and the American dream.
